What year is the car? I believe the 97-00 cars could not have the TPS disabled but the later years could.

Unless the EXPORT BCM is different,, you should be able to reprogram the BCM with a GM Tech 2 and regain the RPOs that are turned off.
EVIL TWIN was a a GM engineer and may have the proper answer to this question.. My first response would be to try to reproogram the BCM with a TECH 2 Bill |

Assumes that the RFA and its wiring are in place... Do you/we even know that it is?

Remote Function Adapter (RFA) is GM's high class name for the receiver that both the TPMS and remote key less entry (FOB's) transmit to. You would need to know if GM even installed one in the car and then what frequency it was set for. The frequency for the US and Europe are different from one another and I suspect other countries around the globe have their own specific requirements that are possibly different that the US. Since the Japan cars have neither FOB's not TPMS it is very conceivable that there is no RFA installed............... If there is no RFA then it may well be that the 3 wire harness for it is also not installed.

Just find it strange these cars build in the US,But sent to Japan would not have these features?
The reason I ask is that vehicles built in the United States that carry anything with any sort of remote or radio frequency is often excluded or altered for the Japanese market. A prime example is radios. United States' built vehicle stereo head units do not work in Japan, and vise versa, so exported vehicles often have their radios removed and Japanese-market specifics installed once the car is on market in Japan. One could surmise that the US market RFA would not work properly in Japan and did not have a General Motors Japanese equivalent, hence it's exclusion on a Japanese market C5. |
That's basically what I was saying; it wasn't questioning it's physical ability to operate.

A slightly weird question but what market stereo is currently in the car?

Yeah the US radio is not going to tune to the New Zealand radio stations and it might not play CDs either. Likely best option here is to get a different radio or since this is probably not the first time a US radio ended-up in New Zealand, there maybe a shop that can reprogram it....worth a search.

I have fitted new tyre sensors have new fobs ,but we have not the option in our system .perhaps its just a matter off finding a place that has one off these tech 2 gm tools and turning back on these options? as long as our cars have these antennas in the boot area .this should work?
If it is not installed you would also need to verify if the wiring harness and connector that goes into the RFA is there. In case there's no wiring harness, as mentioned above, you would need to run it if you want to continue with this. If there's no RFA you would need to purchase and install one before trying to program the necessary RPOs in the BCM using a Tech II. Just make sure it's the right one for the TPMS and FOBs you have already purchased. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6e394d0529.jpg |

Have you guys verified if the RFA is installed in your cars? Without a solid answer to this question it is just a guessing exercise.

The japanese export C5:s doesn't have the RFA module, but it
should have the wire harness. I upgraded my 2000 C5 with a 01-04 RFA module and bought same year FOBs and TPMS, as they are all cheaper than the earlier ones. Then you just have to add the module with a tech2, DONE! If you have an early C5, 97-00 and buy the 01-04 module, you need to get another plug. They are sold separately, don't remember where I got mine though. |
That's good to know. Having the harness and connector in place definitely make this project more doable.
