Default TPMS Bypass

I want to get some new wheels and the Tire Pressure Measuring System which my car has drives up the price by $400 at tirerack. Anyone disabled it ok know a way around it??

I don't need it I check my tire pressure my self and the OEM one I have on malfunctioned a few times especially when it rained, my tire pressure was fine but the warning message came on....

No disable option. Either get the sensors or constantly look at the light.

What year is your car? do you currently have the sensors? you can reuse the stock sensors..

If you can't disable it, couldn't you just take the offending light bulb out of the dash cluster? I think your only other recourse would be a piece of electrical tape large enough to cover the light.

^^This. You can buy new bands so you can re-use the stock sensors. That way you won't have to do the calibration as well.

American Muscle supplies TPMS sensors for 199.00 with their wheel and tire packages. They are the cheapest I have found.

If you're using the same size rim, you should be able to re-use the originals. But if not, you'll need to buy new bands to fit the rim. I got mine at the local DiscountTire for $45 for all 4.

I just read on another forum for the 2011's the tpms sensors are attached to the valve stem instead of held in by bands.. So i guess i wont be needing them.
