does the wire just charge a battery?

....No, AFAIK the only batteries are with the wheel sensors. I think the wire provides power to the display unit because it always has to be plugged in to work - Either via mini USB connection or 'cig-lighter' style via 12v socket.

Fairy muff.
If i had one of these i would probably hard wire it out of sight but so it is audible. It would be absolutely fantastic if someone like Kufatec could develop something like this that worked with highline.

I popped down to my local free air pump today to make sure I had enough air for a 500-mile journey tomorrow.
Result was that 36psi on the machine = 35psi on the TyreSure.
I had originally set the machine to deliver 35psi but my TyreSure displayed it as 34psi, so I decided to believe my TyreSure's readings and reset the machine to deliver 36psi. Hence 35psi on my TyreSure.

....Would you want it to be able to permanently display either pressure or temperature in the Highline window? Quite a tall order methinks.
For me, the whole point of the TyreSure kit is that you can visually monitor at any time.
As cmdrfire pointed out on another thread, the VAG oem systems only alert you to a problem but not what the problem is nor which tyre has the problem, and it takes its time to do just that. In line with authorities encouraging vehicle manufacturers to provide tyre safety features to the consumer, the oem provides a system which they can add as a marketing feature but it doesn't actually do very much, especially as most drivers forget to reset the button everytime they put air in their tyres.
I'm really enjoying this little TyreSure gadget - It brings peace of mind by continually answering the question "How are my tyres?" [as opposed to "Does my bum look too fat in this?"]
JPC:
Yeh, I'd want all the live functionality of the tyresure system but displayed on the highline window. It's not that much of a tall order really, I already have my phonebook on there in a window. Also can see things like realtime speed, realtime rpm and boost. Also how many litres of fuel I have left, all thru a clever box of tricks!
If I am running low on fuel, I get a warning. If I get a low tyre pressure, I want a warning. Don't get confused thinking I want the Vw one, just one that integrates the Vw highline
