tire pressure monitors on early 04's?

I read a review that said tire pressure monitors were available after january of 04. So early 04's don't have them. Can they be installed?

I took delivery of an early 2004 LS 430 on Nov. 8 2003. It has the tire pressure moniter. The reset switch is way back under the steering wheel.

True. Mine just went off last weekend. The calibration of this is rotation based can be off by a bit. You are suppose to measure all your tires to make sure they are the same, then press the reset to let the system know this is how you want it. If one or more tires lose pressure, it throws the rotation off somehow and it gives the tire warning.
