I understand the LS can only store one set, unlike the GS which can store 2 sets and has a switch to allow you to select. Someone correct me if I am wrong please, because all of us with wheels want this one.

you can only have one set of TPMS programmed at any given time with our cars, and i don't think there's a way to disable it. what you can do is have your tire shop make a "TPMS bomb", which is basically a pressurized container with the sensors tossed inside. i know a few guys who have aftermarket wheels who have done this

Good Luck ....... Working something out with a dealer is a CHEAP GOOD ALTERNATIVE that results in zero problems.
By the way ...... There are GOOD LOW COST TPMS Sensor alternatives available on eBAY. Please don't get socked into $50 - $75 EACH costs for TPMS sensors.
Good Luck to all,

I picked up a set of OE 107 sensors from Ebay for about $80 shipped and the Orange TPMS sensors were about $130 a set IIRC...but, I was lazy and just ordered two sets of Ebay sensors..in hindsight, I should of went OEM and Orange so I don't have to run to the tire shop each time to reprogram them when i throw the OEM wheels on for long road trips..luckily Discount Tire does the programming for free..but still a hassle

If you have two sets of wheels, you can use your OEM sensors for one set and have the tire place scan the sensors and tell you what the sensor IDs are.. Write them down. Then call the friendly folks at Orange TPMS http://www.orangetpmsusa.com and order a set of their oe style sensors that can be pre-programmed with your OEM sensor IDs..that way, you can swap wheel sets back and forth and the car TPMS computer has no idea the wheels are different..pretty nice setup.

For the OP:How do you know it is 5mph off? I hope you are not using the radar speed construction signs to tell you that information..those are not accurate at all.
