Have a handful I sold to in the past that optioned out of them for the packages, but them called back and bought. Didn't like the light/noise you get w/out them.

Exactly which ones do you sell for the G37 application that are compatible with our system? I was sold some on OEM aftermarket sensors by a local tire shop that they said would work. They didn't.

We sell the oem sensors that the car came with. Don't forget, any new sensor needs to be initialized by the dealer unless you buy the reset tool and do it at home.

Cool. Got a link to them for our application?

I bought an OEM sensor, slapped it in and it's working perfectly fine with no trip to the dealership to initialize it, just used the DIY method posted by Modme.

I guess some members are waiting for me to chime in here. Well, not to disappoint, what is pointless to me is disconnecting a safety device that came with the car that is designed to warn drivers of sudden tire pressure loss and possible blowouts. It’s similar to other safety devices like turn signals that some drivers never use, or seat belts that are never worn. I just don’t understand this sort of thing.

I was getting off the highway on my way to work yesterday and my TPMS light came on. Turns out I had a huge nail in one of my tires. It can be a PITA but in this instance, it was very helpful.

actually i would love to have my tpms. but for some reason the tech who did my wheels said that it was impossible to mount the tires with the sensor on. i purchase the forged tpms sensor adapter and it still wouldnt fit. i am bringing it to another guy monday to let him try it out.
