That is a nice change.

Saves one the drugery of having to look at all 4 tires.

 

oh that's RAD!

 

what would be real nice

would be reporting tire pressure in PSI. Lots of cars do this, but I guess that degree of knowledge isn't deemed to be appropriate for MINI drivers.... Kind of like engine temp!

But it's a nice improvement, none the less.

pretty cool. now you can just tilt the mirror down and double check while your driving lol

 

Based on how correct the other gauges are, I'll bet this one means that tire is OK and the others are low.

Yeah......
So did anything really improve?
When my TPS light would come on, I would take the air hose around and check and fill up each tire anyway.

So with the software up grade, if it only shows the low tire, it gets filled, right. So then you get in the MINI reset the warning light and take off. Only to find out after going around the block, the next low tire shows up as being low. And so on and so forth.

So does the software change show all the low tires, or just the lowest?

 

Absolutely! Even if it doesn't handle multiple low tires (maybe it does), it sure does improve for a single low tire (by far more common than multiple tires suddenly reading low at the same time). But as you say, if one tire goes low it's always a good idea to check all tires anyway.

 

3 almost flat, 1 flat.

 

Hah....
I was hopeful you would go out and let varying amounts of air out of all 4 of your tires and tell us more arrows showed up. Here in the snow belt, with big temperature swings, all the tires need a fill up of air when the seasons change.

But yes, if one tire gets a nail, it's an improvement to know which one is low.
