receiving a request to confirm the configuration data; and
responsive to the receipt of the request to confirm the configuration data, transmitting a configuration data signal which encodes the configuration data;
wherein the configuration data signal includes data identifying at least one of an intended wheel location on the vehicle to which the tire pressure monitoring device is intended to be located or a security code representative of at least one security parameter of the tire pressure monitoring device;
wherein the configuration data signal is configured to be received and understood by a human,
wherein the configuration data signal is indicative of the at least one of the wheel location or the security code,
