Never heard of it - what does it do and what would be the benefit of using it? If you have a link, that would be great.

Yikes.
I have seen some put their 4 sensors in a pressure vessel in the trunk or somewhere in the car to fool the system. I.E. Pvc pipe capped at both ends with sensors inside. Drill and tap air fitting, pressurize, sensors detect pressure and send data to car, no need for reset button. If you are taking sensors off car, it wouldn't cost more then $10 at Lowes and a little time.

I have heard of member doing this (can't remember if it worked) but the sensors do go into a sleep mode and are awakened by the wheel rotating.

Any aftermarket kit would have to have sensors that stay on all the time or a way to stich them on at will. ANy that stay on all the time would most likely need batteries often.

Ummm, that would be incorrect, they do in fact have a centrifical force on/off switch so they only transmit when they reach a certain spin speed (g-force) that is give or take 15-20 mph or if you trip the switch by another means like a magnet...
