The question is: are the sensors compatible with the TMPS on the RX-8?

if you don't have it why would you want it? it's a pain in the *** generally. it's sad that we have to put up with some of this crap because the population in general is too ******* stupid to do any maintenance on their cars. if it isn't on fire or 50 bells and whistles aren't going off the car is fine.

Those sensors look alot like the ones in the Rx-8.

I wonder what they cost? And if they would be compatible with our system?

This could be an cheaper way to have two sets of rims..summer/winter

So basically, the TPMS stock in the RX-8 will light an idiot light in the dash if it detects a high or low condition. Is there any way to see what it's monitoring, as in some readout on the screen that shows something useful like the current pressure?

The WDS will read the pressure in each tire but will not isolate which tire is which. To identify one sensor from another the tech has to select to pid for the TMPS and start letting the pressure out one by one.

One of these brilliant SOB's will crack the veh specific pids soon...Then we can show it all on a screen.

But even if you know which tire is which in the computer, it still doesn't display it in the stock screen (the Radio screen) inside correct? From reading the manual, it shows only an idiot light indication of over or under inflation.
