Well, that kills that idea

Yeah, people get the malfunction after a couple minutes of driving with one of the sensors in a tire in the trunk due to the lack of movement.

The old pressurized pipe with 4 sensors in it doesn't work with this car apparently.

Coding makes the most sense. And get rid of the lawyer screen/gong/etc.

The early cars had 4 receivers, one in each wheel well, range of about 3 ft, the later models have 1 receiver, but use range to calculate front and rear locations.

I cant stand dishonest tire shops...besides, their crap new sensor doesnt even work...my god

According to Tire rack it is 4NM or 35 in lb.

Can you also post instructions on how to install the TPMS control unit itself and how to connect it to the NBT?
I currently have an RPA and want to retrofit this with an RDC.

thank you!

I wish mine would work, I installed new wheels and tires with new TPMS sensors and the system will not display that check mark when resetting the system. I have no errors on the dash so, I have no idea if its working or not.
