F-Sport Winter Wheel Setup without TPMS
Anyone running a setup without the TPMS monitors? I was going to get TPMS in my winter setup that I'm about to order, but after adding up all of the parts, I really don't think it's worth it. In my prior 2 cars, I never added the TPMS and just drove with the light on after it comes on 1/2 hour after driving.
The TPMS at Tire Rack is $48 per wheels, but then you need to program them to talk to the car each time you swap them on the 2018 models since they don't remember 2 wheel sets like the 2017's and older used to . So the Tool to program them is another $275, so that's almost $500 just to keep your dashboard light off!?
I really don't think it's worth it, I'm pretty well aware of my car and monitor tires and pressures, so don't think it would be a big deal.

If you're fine with not seeing pressures anyway, there is another option. Aftermarket sensors like ez sensor and autel can copy the id's of the old sensors. Which means you wont have to reprogram the car each time you swap wheels. Tire shops should have something similar

I picked up USED OEM lexus pacific pmv-107j on ebay for $60 a set of four. Purchased Schrader 20032 TPMS Service Pack for $1.99 each from autozone. Did the seal change and install on my wheels before I had my tires mounted. Then I went to Pepeboys and they programmed my tpms to my car for $14.99.
~$83 is the cheapest way I found to doing this. You can program up to two sets of tpms on your car.
I tried to program with techstream but my cheap amazon/ebay cable didn't work with it.
no carista app, no bluetooth obd2 adaptor, no cables, etc.

which is why I still say just to get the light off, that cloning the IDs is the best choice

2014+ IS can only hold one set of IDs.
You can either live with the light, get cloned sensors so you don't have to do any reprogramming, or get some OEM/used sensors and get something like Carista to reprogram them yourself.

I agree with 350phi, pickup used sensors/new sensors if you wish off ebay.
Buy yourself a Autel programming tool for around $200-225 & you can do it all yourself.
I now have 4 vehicles I change wheels for winter so it will pay for itself in the end. No issues reprogramming the module.

Thanks, I ended up getting the wheels and cloning sensors thru my local tire shop and he already has the tool to program them, so I don't need to buy any of that, will see how it works out!
