There is some debate on the frequencies. They are either 315MHz or 432MHz. The easiest thing to do would probably be to contact your dealer or local tire shop. Request a quote for 4 or 5 TPMS sensors installed. The quotes will have part number and price. On a 2010 it is probably the 432MHz sensors.
I need to go have a drink or angry sex. Or both!

I just want to get the correct sensors, minimum number of sensors to eliminate the idiot light, have them mounted at the shop, and be done with it. Would like to do it right and do it once.
My dealer ( a bunch of ex cons) want $69 bucks per sensor X 4, plus labor. They quoted me $380. Seems ridiculous to clear a simple light. That's more than my monthly allowance for porn site subscriptions. Fuggeda Bout it!

Ok more confusion to the mix. From what I understand, the AEV Procal can NOT eliminate the idiot light if there are NO TPMS SENSORS mounted. Is this correct?
You can only use it to lower your PSI , so the light won't go off when running lower psi WITH TPMS sensors mounted. BUT, if there are no sensors in the wheels at all, the AEV Procal will NOT disable the WCM and the idiot light.
Again, anybody know conclusively?

Or, keep breaking and replacing and breaking and replacing and breaking and... Meaning, the sensors are easy to break, and it gets expensive to keep replacing them
(I broke two before I had them all removed and turned it off...)The Superchips can also disable tpms, as noted above.

You are incorrect. It can indeed disable tpms. (you can download the owners manual from their website)

There is also debate on computer learning. Some say the WCM will learn sensors. Other people state you need to have the sensor IDs flashed to the computer. Get sensors. If the light does not go out after a week or so, visit a tire shop and get the computer flash.

I'd like to put rubber stems and TPMS sensors (new or original) in my 2008, but understand that they are incompatible. It's just a matter of time before more and more of the aluminum stems break/corrode/fail. Anyone else done this successfully while keeping the TPMS system active and installed??
