Thumbs up We don' need no stinkin' TPMS!

Yeah, I think that is the route that I will be going. I may stick a bit of electrical tape over the light so as not to distract me, but no way am I going to shell out the $$ to get the stupid TPMS system put back in.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Advice?
I got chaeper sensors from Myers. You can see its website
http://www.myerstiresupply.com/shop/...ch=Yes&sppp=20

They seem aftermarket sensors which can replace OE sensors, and they are cheaper than $65. Maybe you can think about it!

Have anyone heard about orange sensors?

how many sets of tpms sensors can the ecu store? like if i wanted to run 2 diff sets of wheels at any given time, would the ecu be able to handle that?

I found this on a search for Honda tpms programmers.
Revolution Supply Co. - TPMS Sensors, Tools, & Accessories - (714) 891-0100
ATEC Quickset
They sell replacement Fit sensors so it must work. I wrote to them to make sure. I'll post their reply.

No word from this Canada based company yet, but I read in an Accord forum that it works. May be I'll just chance it. Any one have experiences with these guys?

Has anyone found a way to dissable them yet?
I just got new wheels/tires and wasnt aware of the system until i pulled out of my garage and out of the sensor range....
All those aftermarket sensor sites are great but I dont care I want the light off. I dont want this system.
I can fix anything on a car sans an auto tranny do I really need a light to tell me my tire is flat or low...I can feel the difference of 5psi through the handling...
This device has a place in the world just not in my car....Any help there?

Oh and the system only senses 25% change thats 8psi roughly not even accurate enough in my opinion

I heard of someone putting all four sensors in the spare. On a nissan forum someone made a sealed pvc canister with the sensors inside.

I read the spare trick but its not really feasable...
The pvc can is probably doable But I was looking for a more permanent solution... I been looking and looks like the infos just not out yet

Twenty minutes, one philips head screw-driver (magnetized, of course) and one inch of 3M electrical tape. Problem solved FTW I always have had a good tire gauge in the glovebox anyway....

It should be more like the Chevy system. Hit a button on the steering wheel, scroll through info display, and it will tell you how many pounds are in which tire. Kind of a pain at rotating time, but it can be dealt with. Even the Cobalt is like that.

The Honda system has saved a my twice, so it does work. First was a screw in the right rear a month ago, then 2 days ago I got a bolt in the left rear. Crappy thing about low profile tires, can't really feel it until you're going fast enough and have gone far enough to ruin the sidewalls. The light picked up both early enough to save.
