I just picked up a new set of wheels yesterday and they do not have the TPMS on them. Of course our cars are so smart and detects a malfuntion right away. Is there anyway to turn this off or do I really have to drive with the warning light on 24/7? It's getting kind of annoying see it on and it's only been 1 day lol.

I know I'm not the only with this issue... thanks.

did they start using sensors in 08 or 07?

In 2007..

Anyone have this problem?

Buy sensors...... that should take care of the problem. Tirerack has good prices. Obviously you don't want to do this. Maybe should have thought about this b4 you bought wheels/tires w/o sensors. I don't recall anyone turning off this function but I'm sure its doable. For what you will pay a dealer to turn it off you can buy sensors. Also, maybe try a WTB in the classified section.

thanks everyone for your insight and help.

i bought the wheels and tires from a friend and his 2006 m6 didn't have tmps yet for the car as an option. at any rate, i guess i can invest in some sensors but that would require pulling all the tires off and putting them back on... at this point it's worth it to get rid of this warning light.
