I haven't had to do it, but any alteration to tyre pressures etc, requires the tyre pressure settings to be reset in I-Drive, in the i option > Vehicle Settings>FTM> Set Tyre Pressure. This has to be done even if you change a wheel it says.

Hope this helps. Do you have any pictures of your car on 19's. What wheel did you go for ?

Jimm,

That should work. Reset it in I-Drive, or if that doesn't work, have the dealership reset it, and you should be ready to go. Your calibration settings for the wheelspeed sensors are based strictly on your stock wheels so any change to those will give you a false fault. Once you take care of that, everything should be OK. Also, make sure the pressure in each wheel is correct.

I too am very interested in pics and what wheel you chose. I am thinking of SSR GT3s, with a Satin finish.

Improved glitch

I've also noticed an improved glitch after the latest update - whenever I'd enter and exit the car through the passenger's front door only, and turn the ignition on and off, the parklights remained on even after I'd locked the car - however, opening and closing the driver's front door switched the parklights off - as the normal procedure usually would go - few would switch the ignition on after entering on the "wrong side" of the car.

However, now, with the updated software, the parklights switch off as I lock the car - in those cases where the driver's door hasn't been used.
