the price they quoted you is to program AND install the sensors. im a service mgr so knowing the biz it shouldnt cost you more then a 1 hour labor charge to JUST program the sensors. in reality it takes about 20mins to program.

 

ya program and install...seemed decent to me..im working on a new deal with dealership anyways..MRT may be going in for a 2010 gsr and ill be takin all my parts with me ..see what happens in few days

 

Before you trade in your MR-T... give me your dash trim!!!

 

LOL if we can arrange you come down as i have my dash apart removing my gauges then for sure! ill let u kno thru pms whats up in upcomin days gonna need to learn to drive manual too !! learn more, anyways..

 

Drive a buddies car for a day, and then pick up the evo. The evo is my first manual, I think the same applies to T-Pain

 

I guess for the same mod u will get more whp for GSR! Is that why u want GSR?

 

yes and because eventually it will have ams 900x pkg on it..plus why not trade in if i get sure a lesser car..options wise..but it has 10km as apposed to 25,000km, no launches on it..tires are new..brakes new lol all plusses in my book. they know i beat the car..and they have 5-6 people really wanting an MRT..just trying to get this crap done asap lol..may need another co-signer as having miscelaneous jobs all my life sucks for this crap but we shall see.

But yes ALL my parts come with me dealership said..i stated it would be best to remove them to help them sell the car as new as possible.

dealership jus called still working thru the bank shizzit,,..what a hassle..just gimme your 50k car ill continue payment n be back next yr for a 2012 lol

 

2 Questions:

Are the TPMS sensors you bought OEM? If they are, they might not be reprogrammable. The dealer would actually reprogramm the ECU (or whatever on the car) to accept the new TPMS codes.

If they are aftermarket, you'll have to be sure they are reprogrammable. If not, same deal, the car needs to be reprogrammed.

Its BS,,, i hear mercedes has a "Feature" that allows the car to store 12 TPMS codes, enough for 3 sets of wheels...... what a great feature,,, a whole 48 bytes of data!!!!!!! or 96 if they are 64bit IDs

Heres the link to the ones Canadian Tire sells, made by "Orange Electronics"

And info about reprogramming

yea, i dont know where my 2nd question disappeared to

ps. i haven't actually tried these myself, so just going from info i've read online

 

I got the sensors from TireRack and they are supposed to be OEM. The sensors are branded Siemens tho. The dealer was able to program them no problem tho.

It's such a rip off that we can't store multiple sets of wheels on our cars. As soon as somebody finds a TPMS programming machine... I'm buying one!

Anyways... here are my costs for getting TPMS sensors...

TPMS Sensors (from Tire Rack)... $220 delivered
Installing sensors in wheels... $80
Programing TPMS sensors... $50

 

where did you get it installed and programmed?

 

i got a quote from Matco and he wants $800 for the tpms initialize device.

 

most of the tools from matco r rip off man..lol

Just went to a TireShop to install the sensors... then got the sensors programmed by Maple Mitsubishi.
