Default Whos running Ebay TPMS?

who's had the ebay TPMS on for awhile now? I wana hear from the people who have been running them for a close to a year or more. $60 is pretty cheap for a set. I dont want these things crapping out 6 months after I install them. Please give me some feedback and also a seller name. I found this seller OEWHEELSLLC whos made 38,000 sales and has a 99.7 rating. But they sell alot of wheels. Not sure about how many of the sensors they sell. Help me out guys, thanks

I'm on my 6th month, no issues and purchased from the seller you previously mentioned. *Remember to buy the valve kit w/ the sensors

You know you can just buy the actual pacific tire pressure sensor with the same part # as the one lexus sells right? These will last just as long as one sold to you by a dealer since they are all put together at the same exact factory.

Looks like these guys were easy to find with a Google search for Pacific tire pressure sensors.

So were these guys.

Google PMV-107J...it's the Pacific part number for the TPMS.

As others are saying, it's the EXACT same sensor. I compared the "OEM" one to the "eBay" one myself, no difference. If you want to pay 5x as much so that your sensors come in a Toyota Genuine Parts box, go for it.

These ones on ebay are brand new right? Someone from Lexus said that he gets dumpster divers all the time looking for stuff they can sell on ebay...

I think he was just trying to get me to spend 80 bucks a piece...

^ Mine were brand new. That wouldn't be the first time a dealer lied to try and sell something with a ridiculous markup.

I bought a set of these and brought it to dealer for programmed, but it does not work with my is 06. The company mention above is very good, they gave me a full refund for the sensors.

Most of the tire shops can do it now if they're working on modern cars.
