Its new "type approvals" from Nov 2012 (ie new car models), and new vehicle registrations from November 2014.
Jan 2012 doesn't feature in the requirements.

Yes, you're right.

Just hope they get the evoque cabrio before november lol

It's also "type approvals" so Evoque won't be getting it but the next FFRR and RRS in 2013 will have to have it, the Evoque cabrio may be exempt as the RRE already has type approval

Hi,
I have sent à mail to the european headquater and this is his response

Quote:Monsieur Item, 

Les types de voitures complètement nouveaux  (introduits pour la première fois sur le marché) homologués après le 1er Novembre 2012 devront être équipés d'un TPMS en tant qu'équipement standard. La Range Rover Evoque a été réceptionnée avant le 1er Novembre 2012 et cette date ne lui est donc pas applicable.

Les voitures particulières déjà homologuées avant le 1er Novembre 2012  peuvent encore être vendus sans TPMS jusqu'au 1er Novembre 2014, même s' ils sont produits après 2012. C'est le cas pour la Range Rover Evoque. 

Avec nos meilleures salutations,

Hi. Could we please have a translation.... Checking each word in the dictionary takes a lot of time......

Approximately translated (it is 38 years since I left school!) it says "only new cars type approved after 1st november 2012 will be required to have it. Cars homologated before 1st 2012 can still be sold without TPMS up to 1st November 2014."

So I guess RRE might get a minor face lift for 2015MY to incorporate a TPMS in the spec for sales in November 2014.

Not sure of the exact thread but I remember that some are having issues with TPMS (and this is the latestb'tpms thread) so thought this might be of interest having seen it on Topix

SSM58057 - RR Evoque TPMS fault message

Anyone know the content ?

Or this?

SSM53997 - TPMS low pressure warning displayed

I have it on mine and I wouldn't know if it is working properly or not - an icon comes up when I press the Start button and the car goes through the self check and then it goes out, so I assume that because it hasn't stayed on all is OK! Might have to try letting down a tyre and see what happens (don't panic I do have a working electric compressor - learned many years ago that large tyres and a foot pump lead to rapid exhaustion!)

My TPMS showed up today on the rear wheel. Turned out I had low pressure to 2.6 compared to the required 3.2 psi. Must be a slow puncture but just put some more air and monitoring to see what happens...
Hope the new compulsory TPMS for the new Evoque shows the actual pressure in the car. This would enable one to determine when to fill the air in the tyres...
