I have been following some ebay auctions on these lately, so if you need a set soon - linked auction is an okay price. If you wait, you can get a set for under $80-$90.

Relooking at it, the ebay listing has model number RLVPAPM10-0857 which is printed on my sensor. Sweet. Good find.

I picked the set from eBay hopefully they work ok.

Worst case - this dealer allows returns!

Just FYI, Tirerack quoted me ~$64 per TPMS sensor (~$256 for set of four) this morning when I was buying my winter tires. I didn't buy them since I am going to just use the stock wheels for winter and use my TPMS sensors on those with the winter tires (anybody want a set of OEM tires with ~1700 miles on them??), just was asking them the going rate so could post it here.

I'm almost temped to take out the stock TPMS sensor as who knows when I'll ever use those wheels again...

Just picked up new wheels myself and one chain tire shop told me they wouldn't swap and/or I had to pay dealership price (something like 80bucks per wheel) to replace them because they had adhesive on the back which would break them if they removed them. I told them they were full of #%$! and went to Goodyear. They are charging me an hour labor to swap 'em.

I also plan on running a winter setup and just rolling without the TPMS for those few months. Even if it does disable the TC switch I don't care because I'm pretty sure I don't need that off in the winter. Seems like that is asking for trouble.

You could install an aftermarket TPMS system, but it wouldn't be compatible with the stock sensors so you would have to replace those too. This would of course cause the stock TPMS dash light to turn on because of the missing sensors.

I've had the set in from eBay for about 5 days now and they didn't even register with the tmps scanner from the tire shop - but didn't trigger any tpms lights on the dash, till yesterday after 25 miles to work. Then this morning - nothing. Weird!

Going to another tire shop to see if their device can pick it up and reset my computer.

Are you parked near your old wheels/tires with tpms sensors? That will reset your tpms light to the OFF position. And then after you drive 20-25 miles, the light comes back on (with no sensors installed).

After reading all this, does having the TPMS light one affects the driving aids? I don't want to go through the hassle of those sensors with winter steelies I'll be riding on...sorts of defeat the purpose of having cheap wheels in the first place. I can live with a light on the dash.

So far, no known issues besides the idiot light that comes on.

Nope, the TPMS doesnt effect any of the nannies.

Gonna bump this to have relevant info in a proper thread.
Picked up a set from ebay few weeks ago with part number 3729A-PMVC010
Put them on, flashed. Light was blinking at start-up, then went off. Drove to work, taking the long route worth a few extra miles and so far so good. Sonna try driving for a bit tonight to be certain.

By any chance, do you park your car near the other sensors?
