So when i designed the tracbox was because one of my friends that would go on track and switch out his tires from his street setup to burnables he had the light pop up. which he did not mind but the problem arose that once he put his street ones the light would remain on for a very very long time until the car saw the tires. so i designed is so when he first booted up his car it would reset the TPMS system allowing the car to be able to find the sensors again quicker. so if your never going to run sensors maybe black tape will be your best friend and cheap too. but if you still want it to be functional (if you street your car too) then maybe the box will be for you.

Yeah, I guess I'll go with the tape in the dash - I don't need all the other features of the track box (except locking on speed), so can't justify the cost. Thanks a lot for the help! |

and any time any of them fails, it requires bringing the car in for service to pull the wheel, remove the tire, replace the sensor, reinstall the tire, re-balance the tire, and reinstall on the car, and re-program to the car. around me, that's about $150-300 per wheel, plus the cost of the new sensor. it adds up quick to satisfy the demands of a single angry orange light on the dash that can be more easily 'repaired' with a $2 roll of black tape...

I sometimes feel luckied out regarding TPMS with having early EUDM twin not having it at all.
BTW .. instrument cluster cannot be modified itself? As in, so what if light is lit .. if no power comes to led that should show it? Also as there are visual mods for change of dash place .. there might be also ones w/o cutout for TPMS light. |

I've also read that some wheels are not compatible with TPMS sensors. Can't remember why tho. On both my cars, I just live with the light being on. I regularly check my tire pressure anyway.

I agree with you guys that a tape is the cheapest solution. I am just not comfortable to put a tape on a brand new car and not use the function.

my sensors 'fell out' when i replaced my tires. they somehow teleported to a ziplock baggie on my spare parts shelf.
it's better to not mess with voodoo like that, and just use the standard rubber valve inserts!

Much ado about nothing - I got my summer tires mounted on my new Enkeis (with the stock wheels relegated to winter duty) and got the TPMS light right away when starting the car. While driving I don't notice the light, even when I glance down to the instrument cluster to check the speed. I'll probably live with it, and if it really bothers my I'll put some tape over it.
