After watching the video -- no, it isn't replaceable. LOL
They last like 10 years. Splurge and spend $40 to replace the TPMS module every decade or so as needed. That's less than the cost of an M1 oil change -- hardly an excessive amount.

I bought a set of 4 Orange Electronics TPMS on the recommendation of several forum members.They work great and cost about the price of ONE from Tire Rack HOWEVER there is one caveat: Discount Tires tool can't work on these-had to take them to Tire Barn who programmed them then back to DT to install.Do a goggle and see what you can find.

Would help to know the year of your vet, but you can find the OEM's for around $40 each on amazon.
With OEM's, the battery lasts a lot longer than the aftermarket units (by years), and you don't get into strange problems relearning them to the car that you can with aftermarket units.
