When I have the stock wheels on the reading is almost instantly on

Oh...you were referring to cloning the OEM TPMS sensors. Gotcha.
EZ Sensor is one brand that has the sensors you can clone to the OEM. I'm sure there are more brands out there.

I wish I knew about those when I got my new tires (& sensors), that would've made things easier.

Dealer is no help

My dealer refused to work with my TireRack-sourced sensors, installed in my new wheels. My plan is to go elsewhere and have them "woken up", but I haven't gotten around to it, yet.
