After doing a search, I'm confused about the LS's TPMS display (and I never remember to check it when I'm at the dealer).

My '06 Infiniti M45's display looked like this:



And my Acura MDX's display looks like this (yeah, I know they're a little low ) :



So - does the LS's display show each tire's pressure separately, and where you can know instantly which tire is low?

Can anyone post a pic of the display?

Thanks!

it displays everyone of them separately, including the spare tire. however, there is no specific "order"

So ..... if you check it and it shows that one needs a little air, you just have to get a gauge and check ALL of them to find out which one it is? That's odd.

yeah....pretty dumb huh? especially considering when the other carmakers are making it blatantly obvious on being able to check which tire is which.....

correct. i guess it's a little step better than the other lexus model where it doesn't even show numbers

which now really makes me wonder how the other companies do it to isolate each wheel, provided that if you are "allowed" to rotate wheels

I know that Infiniti's have a receiver in each wheel well, and the wheel transmitters "talk" to the wheel well receivers. When I changed out the wheels on my M45, they had to use a small handheld transmitter to "teach" each wheel where it was on the car's display by touching it to the valve stem for a couple of seconds. That paired the stem transmitter to its location on the car.

The Acura ones are somehow smarter - even if you rotate the wheels, each one figures out where it is. Don't ask me how.

i guess they setup the receiver range to be very precise so it doesn't get interfere with the other wheels.
