So after all these years the 3IS has been out, has any actually tried/found a brand and model of programmable TPMS that are compatible with 3IS where it will display tire pressure consistently?

 

what's wrong with the oem ones?

 

Nothing, I got another set of rims and tires that I would like to get the programmable sensors put in so I don't need to reprogram every time i change wheels.

 

so then purchase the oem ones -- they aren't that expensive.

 

I am asking about Programmable TPMS, you are going off topic

 

the oem tpms are certainly programmable. i'm staying on topic and you just don't agree with the suggestion likely due to cost.

 

the OEM sensors are not programmable actually. the ID are predetermined. You can program the car to read those sensor IDs.

I think what the OP is looking for is to have aftermarket sensors that are able to be programmed to clone the same ID code as his OEM sensors so he does not have to swap back and forth on the car programming.

 

still, in that case couldn't he just buy oem sensors and call it a day? would make my life a hell of a lot easier if i were him.

 

actually a pain in the *** to program back and forth TMPS ID when swiping wheels back and forth unless you have programming tool yourself.
3IS does not have button to go between two sets of TPMS in memory unlike the 2IS model.

 

gotcha. my apologies to the op.

 

EZsensor 33500 are compatible. I have them in my winter tires. At first I wasn't able to get the pressure readings, but last winter it was working fine!
