    TPMS System Overview

    The 2024 BMW X5 uses a direct TPMS system with Phase Angle Location (PAL) technology. This advanced auto-relearn feature uses data from the wheel speed sensors (part of the Anti-lock Braking System) in conjunction with the individual tire sensors to automatically and accurately identify the position of each sensor on the vehicle. This provides the driver with a precise location of a low-pressure tire on the iDrive display. The OEM sensors in the 2024 BMW X5 operate on a frequency of 433 MHz. The system will automatically detect and learn the sensor location when a new sensor is installed or after a tire rotation, eliminating the need for a manual relearn procedure.

    LTR TPMS Solution

    LTR TPMS sensors provide a validated solution for servicing the TPMS system on the 2024 BMW X5. These universal sensors offer flexibility by allowing programming both on and off the vehicle.

    Sensor Programming Methods:

    • Create New Unique ID: Program the sensor with a brand-new, unique identification number.
    • Copy Existing TPMS ID: Clone the sensor by copying the ID from the existing sensor stored in the vehicle’s memory.
    • Manual ID Entry: Manually input a new ID into the sensor.
    • Batch Programming: Program up to four sensors simultaneously for efficiency.

    Manual Relearn (w/i DRIVE):

    1. After confirming the replaced TPMS sensors are properly installed, adjust tire pressures to the placard value.
    2. Activate each TPMS sensor installed with a TPMS tool.
    3. Turn ignition to ON.
    4. Use iDrive menu to select “SETTINGS” a. Select “CAR/TIRES” b. Select “CONFIRM TIRE PRESSURE”
    5. Drive for up to 10 minutes.
