In Australia we have FTM which as has been mentioned above simply measures change in wheel diameter through a change in wheel RPMs. You need to reset this each time you change the pressure in the tyres, the car does a short reinitialisation over a few metres and uses this wheel diameter to detect any change if a tyre deflated.

TPM is standard in the USA as it is mandatory in all new cars over there, and has been since September 2007.

I beleive the Canadian cars come with the FTM not the TPM.I know 100% that my wifes 335 w 19's came with FTM and I am thankfull for that as I did not have to bother with sensors on her snow tire package and as I have a track setup coming for the M at least I do not have to bother with the sensors.
