I believe there was a previous thread on a work around if you want to get rid of the dic problem, but do not want to actually attempt mounting inside of the wheels. Place all four of your sensors in a sealed tube (large enough plastic plumbing pipe) with a valve stem installed. After the pvc glue sets, 'inflate' to proper pressure and all four sensors inside will send that pressure to the dic. As long as the tube is somewhere in the car you won't have a dic problem, but of course, you won't have an actual tire pressure reading.
