Was wondering if anyone has changed their's yet. Mine are now 12 years old. Was thinking next tire change would be a good time.

I changed all of mine. 2 were dead, had them replaced, then a few weeks later, another died. I had them change the remainder so it wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Forgot to add, this is on a 2004.
 
Just had one replaced on my '08 and another went within two weeks. When I replace X-REAS, wheels and tires in 2021, I'll replace the three remaining originals.
 
Just one go bad a couple months ago on my 2004. Had them all replaced at discount tire. 6 year warranty on new ones.
 
That's a great warranty oldboy.
That seals it. I have like two more years on these tires. Will definitely replace them when the new tires go on.

Thanks everyone

The one I had replaced recently at a local shop was $84.95 for one OEM sensor. No labor charge, as I'd given the shop manager a twelve pack on a prior visit for an emergency job well done on my folks' rig. :cheers:
 
I've had two go bad on my 2008 in the past year. After paying ~$80 to fix the first one, I deleted TPMS all together.

Been a few months and haven't regretted it one bit.

Done (bypassed) today. Thanks for the heads up! Didn't know it could be done. Didn't have the type of splice clip that other folks've used, so I used what I had - crimp connectors and leftover wire. A cheap, quick mod that saves me >$300 in new sensors.

Just installed a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX with iDatalink Maestro on our 2007 Sport. (shout out to Crutchfield.com)

One of the gauge screens available.

For $200 worth of sensors that last >12 years, ~ $17/year, :drum: :dance:
(I had the spare tire away from the T4R during the pic.)

Less worries for us parents with the daughter now driving.
(Yes, she knows how to use a tire gauge (pencil, digital, TPMS scanner)..

I shoulda gotten that unit. I just went with the cheapest one with CarPlay. Does that have an obdii reader too?

I figured it was Toyota bc my wife’s new Highlander doesn’t even give us the tire pressure

Wow! Would you mind sharing the details of how that TPMS data gets to the radio? What specific hardware, besides the radio and crutchfield harnesses, is required? Does it need a specific TPMS make/model or standard tunable non-OEM TPMSs work?

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

The idatalink Maestro is the interface I used.

iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module Connect a new stereo and retain the steering wheel audio controls and factory amps in select 2006-up vehicles at Crutchfield

I am installing the "Camera Source" camera for an OEM look. Backup Camera for 03-15 Toyota 4Runner

This was my second install with this type of audio hw, the first being in my Tacoma.
:cheers:

Best buy says that the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX does not fit 4th gen runners. Did you have any installation hassles?
 
To add to the above post... did you buy a certain tmps sensor or do they all typically work since its a certain frequency. Having the exact pressure is nice too.

On the fence about replacing 2 bad sensors or just deleting the whole system with a simple scotchlock splice as seen on Youtube.

Strange thing is both sensors took a crap on a trip up the local mountain to around 8000' elevation. Not sure what the correlation would be between driving into a colder environment at a higher altitude and then the sensors going?
