I'm thinking about trying to do this with my 2nd gen sedan.

When you tried it out, did you have 4 paired TPMS sensors inside/on your car? (or just the two rear tires inside your car? - because I know the TPMS light will come on if it's missing any of the four TPMS signals or the PSI is too low in any one.)

I was only working on rear tire sizing at the time. The front sensors were still installed in the stock wheels which were still installed on the car.

TPMS and Consult II

My thoughts. If there is to be a system like this that cannot be deactivated, there should be a reasonably priced calibration tool for those who swap tires. I have summer and winter tires, but spend half of the year watching a bright yellow light on my panel. The consult 2 is a cheap tool that costs a fortune. All of this just because some people are just too stupid to check their TPs. A dummy tax!

I'm at the point where I've given up on tpms. I'm getting new wheels and tires and not even bothering with the sensors. Ill deal with the light. Like I already do for no reason other than low batteries on the existing sensors

I will run TPMS for the rest of my life. A few seconds warning by TPMS could literally save your life.
