I don't know if the others will work but the 01 to 04 sensors are cheap. www.gmpartshouse.com

From what I gather from this forum, the 97-00 sensors are not compatible. I think computers would have to be changed also, and don't know what that would cost, if it could be done.

The Cadillac snsors are the same GM part number as the Corvette sensors. So they'd work, but what's the point ??

I agree, only thing worse than the Corvette Tax (at least for GM Cars) is the Cadillac Tax ! When I compained about my $35 Corvette Key (several years ago), I was told be thankful it was not a Cadillac, their keys were $75 !

I'm not sure what cadillac sensors you are looking at, but the ones we have for the CTSV are a different part number than the vette.

The DeVille and Seville use the same sensors as the Vette..... the CTS uses different ones, and the GM Hummer uses another system.

GM purchases EIGHT different sensor types from their supplier for TPMS Schrader-Bridgeport .....

Only GM could come up with multiple TPMS systems .... and then they wonder why they're bleeding money .. imagine the engineering costs of multiple systems, the inventory and parts management costs, cost to the dealer of different test instruments ... training ... inventory .... effing STUPID.
