Ok so I am putting away my stock wheels and installing new wheels with new tpms sensors on the 5 is there any procedure needed to get these new sensors to work?? I was told by someone that I would need to take the car to the dealer to program the new sensors??? is that true?
Thanks!

yup, I know...the problem is that it would be such a pain to dismount the 4 stock tires, remove the sensors, then remount the tires... I need to remount the tires because I have very limited space in the garage due to other wheels/tires and various other parts from other projects. I figured it would be better to keep the stockers set aside as-is. I am getting antsy though so, I may not stick to my plan for long.

tpms sensors from your old wheels are transferrable if you need it
