Yahooooo it's finnally here!!!!!
 
My C4S rolled off the truck today. After a loooooooooong wait, well what seemed like a long wait (4 days), I have taken delivery and am officially a first time Porsche owner. This car is Amazing. Of course the dealership in TX did not send me the manuals or Second key yet (I really do not get some car dealers) I cannot read up on what, where, and how. I can say the first thing I did was giver her a bath and dressed the tires and rubber. Then I changed out those amber side markers. Now if I can only find the camera. Pics will be coming shortly.

Laser Interceptor should arrive in a few days.

I have a low tire indicator showing and a red exclamation came on. Any one know what the latter means? Also, with Sport (19") what is the recommended tire PSI? and then how do I reset the TPMS?

Congratulations on your new car. What year is it?

The TPMS is a little finicky on these cars. If it thinks a tire is under-inflated, it brings up a message. When you acknowledge the message (by pushing the stock), it leaves the red exclamation mark as a reminder that there is a "fault". It will likely remind you each time you start the car as well.

The TPMS on my last car typically read 3 PSI below pressures measured by gauge. So if I was at the low end of the allowable range, and the sensors were reading 3 psi too low, then it thought I was under-inflated. To remove the error, I had to inflate above my desired level for a while until the code cleared, then bleed off air to my desired pressure. The pressure shown on the driver's door jamb is the high end. Most people here prefer to use the recommended pressures shown in the manual (which I know you don't have yet). I set mine at about 33 front and 39 rear (cold).

Looking forward to photos.

2007. There is no way to inflate the tires to the desired PSI and then reset the TPMS so that becomes the new PSI to measure against?

Nope. It doesn't work like the BMW system, which would be much preferable IMO. BTW, after inflating the problem tire, it may take the system a while, and/or numerous trips, to recalibrate and remove the error. You don't have any direct control over it.

I am glad that I don't have the TPMS on my car. My track pressures are all over the place when cold to hot. I would just get them disabled via the dealer.

Use sports crono. Very easy to reset tpms
