caps: can these work with the tire sensors?

Yes they will work with any valve stem. You just need to put a little white grease on the threads. And when you check the air pressure which I do every 2 weeks I check the threads and add lube if they look dry. Also make sure you don't trap any water in the cap when you put it back on.(TPMS Sensors are not very accurate most of them just warn you if its sees a P.S.I difference in one tire compared to the average of the other 3)

I would say yes. You have to put your vehicle in learning mode, then you can use this tool to trigger each wheel to train your vehicle computer to each Tpms sensors location.

I have, works great on two Subarus. To wake up the sensors, however, you will need a triggering tool or you can go to any tire shop and they'll donit for you. Boston line, you have to trigger the sensors for them to wake up. Having the codes in the car isn't enough. Hope this helps.

Yes, they will but your tire pressure sensor will have to be reset after installing. Otherwise it will stay on

3 to 4 times the regular tire cap , make sure to re balance your tires after installation hence one sensor weights around 13 to 15 grams including the secure ring ,.......... But Man ,.... I assure you ,you won't regret it ,.... a real peace of mind especially if you're enjoying driving at high speed ,.... I've been using them for months now and I'm totally satisfied ,....... a delay from now and then in sensor respond or weak up as tyredog describe it but it's OK .

Not sure. I use auto valve stem caps on my bike and mower. Maybe pull one of your car to see before you order.

Not sure if they fit but I would not recommend these sensors. They continuously drop the TPMS signal and my car randomly shows error messages from different tires. Should have bought OEM sensors.

I bought these for my Vett when I changed tires. All you need is a magnet. One with a hole in the center works best as you then can put the sensor stem up thru the magnet. For my car I had to go into the message center and find the spot that resets your monitors. Google your car and you may find a video of someone actually doing it. Once I had the message center at the right spot it then started at I believe the drivers side front wheel and when around the car clockwise. When the wheel was selected it gave me a certain amount of time to sety it. To set it I had to go to the wheel and move the magnet around the sensor stem until the car horn sounded once. Then you move to the next wheel selected and do the same thing. Sometimes it took a fair amount of moving the magnet around the stem before it sounded the horn.

Sensitive enough I guess. They are kinda small though, but if they are properly mounted it may work. See if there is something like this out there already for what you want to do.

I am not qualified to answer this question, I do believe newer Audi/VW Cars do not use this type of wheel sensor as a part of their TPMS system, hope this helps, Phil James.

I have a nissan versa hatchback 2010 and they fit my tires that came with my car. I kept dropping the caps into the wheel when I added air because I was having a slow leak. They work great on my car

No. These are calibrated for a specific rsnge of pressure. Using the wrong one may leave your TPMS warning light to stay on constantly.

Yes. The sensors connect back to the control box you place in the driver area. Once there's power to the control box it's all good. It is a bit of work to get the sensors positioned but works well in the end.

I think you are misreading the part of the description where it states "Smart Mercedes Benz OEM Tire Pressure Sensor Fortwo..." the "fortwo" reference is describing the "Smart fortwo" Car brand which this sensor would work for. (Smart Fortwo cars are made by Mercedes Benz and are typically sold by some of its dealers).

Yes. Just instaled de new sensor in the tire. Then you have to relearn the 4 tires before, because the TPMS Machine. Need to have in the memory the 4 tire test. After that. Just conect the obd2 cable. And the machine go to ask. Write sensors ID. and go click YES. In the screen you will see the live data. And. Done.

That is exactly my application. I installed all 5 of them during my last new tire purchase. They seem to work OK, although not as precise as the OEM units. The OEM units always agreed and were closer to my actual gauge measurement.

The caps are universal. They have the little "knockout" plug installed. If you have a probe type dispenser, it will puncture the cap as designed.
