Where to buy TPMS sensors?

bloppitybloop · 04-14-2014, 09:45 AM

I recently bought TPMS sensors from this seller on eBay.

I had them installed last week and have tried resetting the system every day and they still won't recognize them. I verified with the seller that TPMS sensors for a 2007 were sent.

Seeing the TPMS warning on the dash is really annoying so I'd like to get this fixed.

Where have you had a good experience buying TPMS sensors.

Thanks

I got mine at Tire Rack. Year two with no issues.

The first red light that went off ....

"Military grade lithium battery gives this sensor up to a 7 year battery life"

Really? Every sensor I know of lasts at least 7 years and are not listed as "military".

The second is there is zero mention of what MHz the sensors are.

Just another Chinese parts reseller.

Yup crappy chinese knock off. The real ones are made by Beru. Just make sure you get the right ones for your car. The ones from Pre-LCi models will not work on a LCI car.

Are they OEM? If not, what kind are they?

I now realize I should have spent a little more and bought them from a reputable source. The good news is that he's letting me return them. The bad news is that I'll have to pay for them to be removed and have the new ones installed.
