TPMS Bypass?
I picked up some aftermarket wheels that are not friendly to TPMS Sensors, does anybody know if there is a bypass product of any kind on the market, or some nifty trick to "tricking" the system so I dont have to see the annoying message every time I turn the ignition???? I know this is prob. an old question asked lots of times, but any help would be appriciated!
Thanks!

Not for the 1997-2000 C5’s. The 2001-2004 C5’s can have the feature programmed out of the BCM.
You can have them strapped to the rim inside the tire, and they will work that way. Locate them near the stem so that you will know where they are located, so that you can program them with a magnet.

You could put them in a pressurized bag hang them out the side window and twirl the bag while driving.
Most mustang people are not too bright. But I repeat myself.

There are several products available that allow you to easily attach the seasors inside the rim and retain the feature on any aftermarket rim. One of them has a special mount that you install as a valve stem and that valve stem has a holder on it.

There out there and work very well!!!!!!!

It can only be accomplished using a GM Tech II. Dealers have then BUT,,,,,,so do outside garages and privite individules. Most good corvette shops and tuners have them and can use them to do that.

97-2000 C5 do not have the ability in the BCm to DISABLE the TPMS
2001+ have that ability! You can add or delete them using the GM Tech II I added them to my 02 ZO6.

Having Tire Pressure Sensors on non-runflats are a good idea as you will get an early warning with a slow leak. Of course they are a MUST with runflats.
You can change the TPMS (and Key-fob) receiver to use the less expensive 2001-2004 TPS & 2001-2004 fobs.
