1. A method for adapting a tire pressure monitoring device to a vehicle type, wherein the tire pressure monitoring device is equipped to attach to a wheel of a vehicle provided with pneumatic tires, the method comprising:

  • providing the tire pressure monitoring device for measuring a tire pressure present in the pneumatic tire or measuring a change of the tire pressure, wherein the tire pressure monitoring device comprises;

    an electrical circuit, of which at least a part operates digitally, for controlling the tire pressure monitoring device;

    a memory in which a program for the electrical circuit is stored;

    an electric power source for power supply of the tire pressure monitoring device; and

    a first transmitter operating in a first frequency range configured to transmit data out of the tire pressure monitoring device to a first receiver located outside the tire pressure monitoring device;

    initially storing a basic version of the program in the memory, where multiple different versions of the program can be developed for multiple vehicle types from the basic version; and

    subsequently creating an appropriate full version for a selected vehicle type where selected vehicle type program parameters are stored in the memory of the tire pressure monitoring device.
