I was perusing ebay and saw some different tire pressure sensors for different model toyotas such as camry, tundra's, etc. Does anyone know anything about these or how they work? I'd be interested to see if they could be modified or used in our cars, possibly to be wired to a signal light? just a thought.

These TPMS are a scam, I would never want one on my car at all, all it does is monitor your tire pressure to make sure your not driving on tires with low air if u are the light will come on. Plus when you rotate your tires u have to reset them and if u don't know how to you can take it to a tire shop they charge about $20+ to reset them and when you want tires mounted on rims with sensors they also charge you extra because theirs a chance they can break if not mounted correctly they average about $60+ a sensor depending on make/model of the car. Every car build 07+ are required by law to have them on. In other words if your too lazy to check your tire pressure manually join the bus line plz lol it only takes less then a min to check all 4 with a pressure guage in the end your just paying more out of your pocket for them also they corrode easy too if not replace regularly causing the valve stem needle to break and get stuck into the housing when that happens you will have to buy a new sensor compared to a rubber valve stem $1+.

I have exp with tire/mount/balance/tpms btw so all that is from exp.
