Use the forum search function. Many have added these including myself with no problems. You must find a dealership or shop with a Tech2 to turn on the function in the computer, then train the sensors.

Nope, I had my local Chevy dealer do it. I had to provide the instructions on how to go into the Tech2 device and activate them. They charged me $160 which included re-balancing all four tires.

I have not had any problems with mine. had them installed about a month ago. It's nice to have the info at your fingertips. It's dead on according to my expensive tire gauge. It was done at the dealer. They had a good balance machine as well. Enjoy!

Find you a good dealer. I bought four sensors from my dealer for 240 and then 90 to install, balance and turn on the DIC Computer. Took real good care of my car as well. I tipped the tech 20 for future care and concern for my car. He even cleaned my wheels...they looked new. Also installed ceramic pads... they were 110 for front and back + 40 for install. Not all dealers, techs and counter men try to screw you. Small dealership insmall town where we all know each other and live together. They appreciate my business.

I also had them turn on the "auto headlight" feature, not that I use it. It will add a bit of uniqueness to my car down the road when I sell it. My car came with the sensor already installed. Like I said I don't use that feature but it's there.
