Abstract
A method for the assigning of identification codes that are sent in radio signals by tire pressure monitoring devices at the wheels of a vehicle and that are received by a receiver provided in or at the vehicle, which signals are relayed to an evaluation unit connected to the receiver, in which unit is stored a specific identification code for every wheel position of the vehicle and wherein the stored identification codes are compared with identification codes in subsequently sent radio signals, whereby for the storage of the identification code of the tire pressure monitoring device of a chosen wheel the specific wheel position intended for the chosen wheel is entered at a control unit, whis is in communication connection with the evaluation unit, subsequently the tire pressure monitoring device of the chosen wheel is caused to send a radio signal containing its identification code, this radio signal is received and the therein contained identification code is stored in the evaluation unit or in the control unit at a memory location assigned to the specific wheel position.
