I think he told me I couldn't do the tire pressure programming?? I don't know if that was an assumption or if he could tell by what my car was telling him.

Steve thought mine wouldn't be able to have it either, but was surprised when he checked and the option was available for my car through his Star Diagnose.

I wonder if there is a difference between the '05-Present vs. '01-'04.5. As soon as my tire dipped significantly lower than all the other tires (psi), the warning came up.

The 100% was actually referring to the "gallons of fuel remaining" coding mod Steve added. I don't have a way of independently testing how accurate it is, but it seems pretty darn useful so far. I wonder how low your tire pressure actually was with the nail in it. My tire pressure sensor went off today while driving to work. I pulled over and checked, only to find out the dummie who patched my tire inflated it to almost 50 PSI!!! I let air out, and reset the sensor. It works for not enough air and too much air...I'm a happy camper.

that's pretty cool, for too much and too little air! I'm not sure how much air it lost, it looked like a small nail to me.

I think that you might not have lost much air with the nail in your tire, Phil. The nail was most likely keeping the air in, so no slow leak. The nail that was in my tire was huge, so it spread the rubber just enough to have a slow leak. Through a whole day, it was fine, but by the end of the day it brought the tire 10 psi lower than the rest. Just keep in mind that it doesn't identify objects that are obstructing the tire, just the tire pressure, so I'm thinking that's what happened with your situation.

Tire Pressure Monitor!
Hey Folks,
Sorry but I need some info. I did search the forum and found some stuff but nothing that gave me a concrete answer especially pertaining to the 07 W203
Does the 07 W203 have a Tire Pressure Monitor that will interfere with me putting after market wheels on for the winter. I bought some AMG Replica's and I am curious if I have to buy another Tire Pressure Monitor? If I do have one if it can be used on the after market wheels or if I don't have one at all? Thanks!
