Where can you buy OE Subaru TPMS sensors?

Hum guys, Schrader EZ-sensors work fine.

Got a set in my winter wheels. It's even easier than using OE sensors: They come blank and you clone the original sensors into them, the car doesn't know they're different sensors, just bolt the wheels on and go, no relearn.

I just looked these sensors up online; did you go with the single frequency (33000) or the multi frequency (33500) ones??

We only stock the 33500 because it covers most of the market, so those are the ones I used.

Note to people who want to buy thoses kinds of programmable sensors though: while buying OE sensors you might have to visit a dealer to relearn them to the car each time you swap wheels (I've got a Bartec Tech400SD and it can't do the relearn on these cars), buying the universal sensors you'll still have to visit a competent tire shop to have them read your OE sensors and clone them to the schraders. Ideally you should do this before mounting the sensors and tires, because it requires putting the sensor right up against the TPMS programming tool. But that programming hassle is a one time deal and you can change wheels at will after that.

It should also be noted that EZ-sensors, with their removable rubber valves, are much more durable than the stock densos which are molded on an aluminum stem. The valve stem can easily be replaced on the schrader for a few dollars each should anything happen (rust belt people raise your hands) instead of changing the whole sensor/stem assembly.
