Frustrated with TPSM
Just installed 4 new tpsm on my 06 vert. Tire store who did the install couldn't pair properly. DIC shows two flat tires. Took to another tire store they couldn't pair either. Any suggestions where to take in Southern Calif. or can system be disabled if I can't get working.

Go to the Chevy dealer you trust. I just put new wheels and tires with 4 new sensors and discount tire tried to pair the car and the car would not accept it. I had to go to the dealer and they charged me $50 bucks to reset them. Work perfectly.

The service writer at the Dealer got the tool and did mine for free. I showed him these instructions cause he couldn't figure it out at first.
C6:
The C6 Corvette requires a TPMS reset tool. Excluding some very early production 2005 models, magnets will not work on the C6′s. The TPMS tool is expensive to purchase, but you may order them through a Chevrolet dealer or the Tire Rack, and most well-equipped tire shops will have the appropriate device. Instructions for use are similar to the C5
1. Turn the key to the Accessory position but do not start the car.
2. With the key fob, press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously until an audible chirp is heard from the horn.
3. Hold the TPMS tool over the valve stem on left front wheel. You may have to move it around the valve stem to hit the right spot. Press the “learn” (or similar) button on the TPMS tool.
4. When the horn beeps (about 3 seconds later), programming is complete for THAT wheel.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other 3 wheels. The sequence is as follows: Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear.
After resetting the left rear wheel, an audible double-chirp is heard from the horn. This completes the sequence.

Just got back from the tire shop that installed the monitors. Showed them your instructions and within 5 minutes it worked. They had no idea what to do. Thanks again for your help.
