"Inactive" Light flash on...what is it???
Can anyone tell me what this light may be? TPMS? It just comes on and blinks and blinks.
I have only the procede v5, which has worked fine with no issues for the last 5K+ miles...

I am struggling with this as well..it keeps comin on and off..
I went and got my wheel sensors read with the handheld radio scanner, (some hi-end tire shops have them) it showed that both of my rear wheel sensors were not reading..so I swapped the two rear wheel sensors..didnt work Now my money is on the antenna transmitter..luckliy I got the wheel sensors for free and labor covered since I am under warranty..and I got an SA friend who said he would scan it at BMW for free..tomm I will know for sure. But I am almost certain its one or more of the four antenna transmitters |

I doubt you can botch the install..i have swaped many wheels over the yrs w no issues..its pretty straight forward and any decent tire shop can handle it. If you know someone w a BT tool you can find out which sensors/antennas are bad |

yeah hopefully its just your sensors... since you have aftermarket wheels its quite possible that you could have hit a hard pothole or something like that - possibly damage them? I dunno

it's possible, LA streets are the worst! and i have definitely hit some hard potholes. need to get it on a hoist and see if any of them off...especially on the inside.
