TPMS - the ultimate FAQ

Dealership I bought my car from quoted me at $450/set of TPMS, + $80 to install them, then $100 to program them each time I switch between my winters (stock rims) and summers (new rims). Those are Canadian prices, but regardless, sounds like a total rip off.
Simple question. I know having the TMPSs need to be done at a dealership, but other than OE TMPSs, are there other aftermarket TMPSs or ones off a different brand vehicle that would work? Someone mentioned Chrysler using the same OE TMPS as Mitsu. Can't justify paying almost $600 just for some tire pressure sensors.

i can sell them relatively cheap , lmk if your interested.
they are currently still mounted in gts rims/tires so I would have to pay about $40 to dismount them but its no biggie.

Thats insane. I usually buy my parts from the US for my Celica and I always save a lot of money sometimes half the price.
I found them at mileoneparts at 62$ each for the whole replacement kit.
Here the link : http://www.mileoneparts.com/partloca...layCatalogid=0
Anyone found cheaper ?

BUT ---- In November of last year, I installed my winter set of wheels. The light never came on...I was curious... I went to the dealership to get the programming anyways (50$). This set has been registered the previous winter... I just put new tires on my summer wheels, and have been driving them for 40 Kms or so...no light. Took it to the dealer anyways today, and told him I haven't had the D.I.D. say anything about the TPMS. He brought the tool out and scanned one sensor and it was recognized! He wasn't sure but they must have kept the memory from last winter. So, if you light doesn't come on, no trip to the dealer, and 50$ in your pocket!

otherwise they will have to break down the gts wheels/tires anyway remove the tpms sensors, read their ids put everything back together then reprogram the car.
so your looking at 50-$100 for reprogram + whatever the dealership wants to rape you for for unmounting and remounting 4 tires in the end I think it would be about $200.
to swap just go to any tire shop tell them to take the sensors out and put them into the gts wheels, they shouldnt have to do a full break down if they are smart enough.

why would they need to put my ES TPMS into the GTS wheels if the GTS rims already come with it.? sorry im not good with this stuff.
it is cheaper to have the tpms taken out of your es wheels and put into your gts wheels.

To respond to my previous post of my summer rim sensors remembering themselves.... 20 kms later after the dealer the light came on... I called and talked to my service manager (we are on first name basis
hee hee) So i will have to pay the 50$ to get them reprogrammed.

I can turn OFF TPMS System FOREVER on LANCER or OUTLANDER, but it needs to get your dealer to download unique config-file from the car & upload it back, after i make changes in it.

I asked my dealer to get this. An he says "i don't know this on EVO. But i will ask MM."
A few days later he send me a mail from MM and they sad its not possible on EVO X.

You need to get them programmed to your car.
Unfortunately, Mitsu's only hold 4 TMPS codes at a time, so if you switch between summers and winters, you need to get them reprogrammed each time you change your wheels.
Dealership can do it for a fee.
