Problem with displaying results / not finding TPMS #3104

Story:
I changed the wheels and tires in my car. Unfortunately, I didn't read the TPMS ID, which I have to program in the car. I don't want to take the tires off the wheels, so I wanted to use rtl_433 ;)

Equipment:
4 TPMS in the wheels and 2 TPMS at home as spares.
RTL.SDR V.3
Laptop with Bunsenlabs Linux (Debian Bookworm)
Compilation from sources:
https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr
https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433

Goal:
Reading the TPMS ID and programming them to the car.

Problem:
I don't read any TPMS ID mounted in my wheels. Even rtl_433 doesn't display anything.
I only read the ID of the TPMS that was at home once(!) I can never find it again :/

What I tried:
I have to use -F http which works and searches for various "codes", but freezes the browser when set to MODE -> RAW (unknown).
I find other TPMS of other cars.
I drove the car with a laptop and searched for sensors.
I deflated the tires to <1bar and pumped them up again.
I unscrewed the antenna from the dongle and put the TPMS close to it.
I tried the commands:

rtl_433 -F http
rtl_433 -f 433.92M -A -F http
rtl_433 -A -F http -l 1000
rtl_433 -vv -Y autolevel -M level -M noise -F http
