I bought 4 for my 2012 from Amazon for $80 and got a relearn tool to reset them. Under $100 total. Put wheels on car yesterday and everything was as advertised.

Once you buy the TPMS sensors, you still need to have them installed.
I brought the sensors I bought on-line to my local Firestone store ... They replaced them for $25 per wheel.
Of course, they also used there relearn tool to get them to talk to the car after they installed them.
No extra charge for the relearn ... Again, 25 bucks total per wheel.

Discount Tire must be nicer than Firestone.
Firestone is not going to replace anything for free if you don't buy the parts from them.

I replaced all 4 on 05, from Amazon and had local tire store replace, and relearn.
I was getting false signals was my reason for replacement.

You can buy those at any tire shop and they can install them. I'd stay out of the dealership.

Just be sure you will be happy with the way they look on your particular wheels.
