You can buy a set of used TPMS sensors for $100 or so off the classifieds, and then have them programmed by an independent shop on the cheap. Problem solved.
I would lock it and sticky it. So other members would never post anything this stupid.

or... you can be like me that keep the warning light on so I can check my tire pressure once a week/biweekly. Something you should do anyway.

yes i can afford them but I'm not sure if that's the investment I would like to take (yes im cheap)...unless the tire sensor was built/design to tell you the exact psi per tire (similar to what LS has).

So I say...save the money and buy youself a nice snap on tire pressure gauge.

one of my TPMS was dead when I got my new wheels the other week finally got a replacement today, took about a week to get shipped to me. I was pretty close to salvaging my car.

I was going to say I dont mean to thread jack, but it seems as its going nowhere so Im going to do it anyways

How did you know your TPMS was dead? Im currently having tire pressure light issues (see my thread for more info), so Im wondering if that may have happened to me.

The first time they tried to program my TPMS all of the sensors scanned but one. We even let all the air out and still nothing. So we figured it may have gotten damaged when the tire was mounted and balanced.

I think Brociouz has already decided this thread should never die and should prob be stickied. As far as OP goes I think he already sold the car and picked up a Londa SI160 since it doesn't have TPMS
and joined another forum

Hey JeremyT, do you still need tpms batteries for your car? I have four from my car, I'll trade you my 4 sensors for your car.

Let it go already! First two pages were funny, but it's getting old. Let the poor OP get on with his life!
