By emulate do you mean these can clone the stock ID's so you don't need to re-program the ECU each swap?

This is interesting as I just changes my stock wheels for aftermarkets and when we went to switch the TPMS, there weren't any!
Apparently the Australian 86 runs a system that monitors the ride hight of the tyres through the suspension? Has anyone else come across this?
I'm not getting any faults on my dash so I'm assuming it's all good.

Don't think Australian models have TPMS at all.

A local guy with a brz I met swapped his wheels and tires without switching the tmps and had no warning lights. Apparently it doesn't matter if you have them or not.

It can take a long drive before the computer decides your TPMS are no longer communicating. That, or his other wheels are still nearby and every time he parks his car back at home, it detects them.

I have two sets of wheels/tires each with its own set of TPMS. It takes me about a 30 minute drive on the new set before the light comes on. I have an ATEQ Quickset that I can plug into my OBD2 port to reprogram the active TPMS ID's on with a click of either of two buttons (Winter set / Summer set).

That said, the warning light is exactly that - just a warning. It doesn't cause any issues with anything, so if you want to ignore the light, you don't need to have TPMS in your wheels.

Interesting. Guess he parks near the other set or something. Wonder if a tune can disable the system all together. Such a pointless extra expense to have to deal with.

I have the option to purchase some replacement TPMS sensors from TitanTPMS and saw that the FRS/BRZ were listed on there.

Cost for them would be around $45 shipped. If I can get atleast 20 people interested it would be $38 shipped. I can get applications for other vehicles as well.

$180 shipped for a set (without gorup buy option)

MSRP on them is $60

If anyone is interested let me know and then I'll just start making my company pay for a vendor status .

This was from my old feeler thread.
Are you still offering to assist on this?
