TPM on the 08 Cabrio

Can anybody confirm that late production runs (Feb 08) of the 08 Cabrio did not use the 2nd Gen TPM system (sensor in the wheel)? The dealer indicated that my MINI has the wheel speed sensor but my Owners Manual indicates that it uses the in-wheel electronic sensor and the valve stem cap says "TPM Inside!"

Any advice?

Thanks,

Al

Your TPMS sensors are attached to your wheels.

Oxyblue - thanks for the reply. Anybody know if I can move the sensors from my stock 15's to the set of S-lites that do not have sensors in them? Or can I buy replacement sensors from MINI for the S-lites?

Thanks,

AL
