Hey guys with the TPMS swap & buying new ones. Sometimes if you're lucky the shop can swap them to the new wheels but they generally warn you of the high risk of breakage.

Also if you get new ones you will have to get them calibrated to the car at a Honda dealership. Only one set of sensors can be synced to the car at once so even if you have them in two sets of wheels you can't just swap wheels back and forth. The light will come on and you have to either ignore it or get them reprogrammed every time.

I just played this game thinking ordering a second set would solve all problems.

Yes it's pretty much the same drop as if you got the sportlines

Looks too sick! The nose-mask, did you buy JUST that piece or is it part of the entire nose-mask? I dig it.

EDIT: Never mind, I saw your earlier post about you buying the whole nose-mask. I might just buy one, looks good!

I thought I read something where someone said that the dealerships are just dumb and that you can actually program like 3 sets to a car. Someone had it done.

Then I hope I am wrong.... just had it done. Got a family member who works at Honda. He brought home the laptop from work to do it. He's got one of the Honda scan tools himself. We will see this fall when we put the snows back on but as far as I know it would not hold calibration for two sets.

Hopefully both sets are recognized by the car.

I may be confusing this with key programming and how someone found out that it doesn't actually have to be completely reset and there is an add function.

I think you are thinking of keys, the car can only recognize one set of TPMS sensors at a time, we also figured out they need to rotate with a wheel so throwing them in a sealed container pressurized to 32 psi in your trunk wont work either
