Retro TPMS
I found a nice set of C6 thin spoke 18" & 19" wheels with tires and sensors. I have not been able to find a display that would make the system work. Is there a practical way to accomplish this. I tried to search but found mostly comments about how the C4 systems are not worth the hassle. I can see the need for the system as I can't tell from looking at them if they are at the recommended pressure of 36 lbs.front and 30 lbs. rear.
Thanks

that looks like it will do what I am after and surprise it is $30 delivered!
It may have been designed to function occasionally not constantly like a true monitor but if it works I think i'll be happy.

If it's the "close out" for GM - that will NOT do anything for you. The "in car" GM for your car can NOT recognize the later generations of TPMS. You need an aftermarket package that will include also a monitor for you to use a TPMS with those wheels. I don't believe there's a monitor that can be purchased that will recognize those TPMS in other than an OE system.

Your link ends up at the Tire Rack" home page. What item is it that you see?

It is a CUB TPMS Trigger tool. I don't know why the link lead to their home page but from the description it is what I am looking for.
My car has no monitor, I would use the tool daily to check the pressure,
not constantly as I drive.

If you do it be sure to post back.
I see Jamestown NY as "location" now. No one knew where Kiantone is?
