Default Ziptie tpms

Hey guys,

My Rims are NOT TPMS compatible and I'm looking for a solution to get rid of the tire warning light on the car. I'm aware of the different types of I-forged adaptors available. Only the straight adaptor will work, but I heard that these things tend to snap off easily from heat, impact, etc..

I've heard of the ziptie method for the TPMS sensors, but not exactly sure on how it is done. I've bought a new set of TPMS sensors for the IS. How do we reprogram and ziptie the sensors?

Get a tire shop to throw your TPMS sensors into your spare. Works perfectly.

This is what I did. I have my stock wheels at home in the garage. I have plenty of friends that will go grab one wheel for me if I needed it. I would never run that skinny spare tire on my car anyway.

Anyone know how the ziptie method works?
