I had an odd thing happen with my 2013 BRZ. I bought a whole new set of tires and rims from Tire Rack along with the recommended TPMS sensors. Long story short, could not get the car to read them. The dealer tried twice as well as my friend's tire shop. Luckily I keep the stock tires. After going back and forth Tire Rack agreed to pay for me to swap them with the sensors in the stock tires and return the ones I bought.

Here is the strange part. When they removed the sensors in the new tires, they were the same exact make and models of the ones in the stock tires. Exactly the same. Yet the car would not read them. So after putting the original sensors back in bam, they worked! The dealer had no problem re-syncing the original sensors. So no idea why that happened, puzzling???
