Help please with TPM questions ?
Discussion
As part of my Aston tinkering learning curve can anyone who knows for sure give me some information on the 2012 model year tyre pressure monitors.
After changing a wheel is the TPM valve self learning to the car or do they have to be programmed to the car.
Can the TPM valves be changed from wheel to wheel and reused or are new seals required every time, if so are these readily available.
Aston price is approx £110, can these be sourced elsewhere.
Can the system be easily turned off and on, if I run wheels with no TPM valves. I believe the winter wheel / tyre package kits only have ordinary valves.
Any good information much appreciated.

So it would appear to be the case then that if you change over to a different set of wheels, even though they have TPMs fitted, you still get the warning unless they are programmed to the car.
Probably a silly question, but is it possible to have multiple sets of TPMs programmed to the car so that two sets of wheels can be used as requireed.
Can they only be programmed by a dealer or is it an esy DIY type job.
My last car just learned the tpms when it was driven.

My car is a 12.25 model year standard V8 Vantage, with the bigger V8S wheels and brakes etc.
I'm not a massive fan of the stock V spoke wheels and might go for the 10 spoke forged optional extra wheels, but they are very expensive.
I might put winter tyres on the existing wheels, but I would want to use TPMS, I don't want the warning light on all the time. I also don't want to be going to the dealer every time I change wheels.
Do you know how to tell what system is fitted, without dismounting a tyre.
