Ok, so the display can't figure out that I'm on the Wing instead of in a cage...but it does give me tire pressure, temp. and the gps is a good backup for the other two.
I just bought the Orange Electronic Combo unit sized for a Mini-Cooper and kinda like the unit. My '08 Premium Audio is about as plain jane as a Wing can be but little by little I'm adding the safety features I think will keep Momma pretty for a long time.
The TPMS info you guys provided made me uncomfortable riding a ROF with out knowing if I had good air pressure. So, I looked at all the offerings I could find on the Net and decided that, since I pull a trailer, I'd get a 4 position TPMS.
And...since I have some type of testicular related aversion to asking for directions, I thought I would try a TPMS/GPS. Now I have 3 GPS units when I leave the house..
Orange uses the inside the tire sensors and the unit works well except for a constant "map obsolete" warning whenever I start it and the fact that the ease of use doesn't approach that of a Garmin or any of the other common GPS units.
Orange service sucks BTW. I emailed them 4 times trying to get info on map upgrades and still have no response. I'm going to disable the alarm myself. Hope I don't have any real problems with the unit.
Amazon has the unit for $214 inc. tax, shipping. Although I like the unit, I'd recommend waiting to see if Garmin picks up on the app and comes out with a unit anytime soon.
For you "seasoned" members of the forum, thank you for the knowledge you share.
