If your car never came with TPMS, then you'll need more than just the wheel sensors. Retrofitting the entire system might not be worth the cost.

Actually I tried one. It does work but I didn’t like the big sensors/caps.
I thought of Schrader’s kit with oem like sensors.

That is the one thing I don't like about most of the aftermarket addon TPMS systems. Hadn't seen Schrader's previously. Thx.

I'm a beta tester for Foxwell. Their T10 TPMS sensors work well. The thing I've notice about TMPS sensor (aftermarket) is most of them require a specific TPMS tool to program them. Foxwell's system works well if you have the Foxwell tool. The really cool thing about Foxwell is you can buy an integrated diagnostic tool that incorporates the TPMS function. For example, if you have an i70TSII tool, you can perform full diagnostic tasks, it has bi-directional control, and it incorporates TPMS; so you can not only diagnose all of your MINIs modules, you can also diagnose the TPMS system, and program new T10 TPMS sensors. Some of Foxwell's scan tools actually come with 4 or 8 T10 TPMS sensors.

I'm sure there are a lot of good TPMS sensors are out there on the market, but like I said, just make sure the sensor your purchasing can be programmed by the tool you have.

If your interested in a Foxwell tool, PM me, and I can set you up with my contact who will get you SEMA show pricing. I even have some samples (in sealed boxes) left over from SEMA 2023.
