Thumbs up

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!

I don't think it needs to be reprogrammed. You should be able to put it on the new wheels and the computer should recognize the TPMS.

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

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.
