yeah, my current wheels don't have the TPMS installed because I'm waiting to get new tires and then will install them. When you turn on the car, there is a little light that blinks for 5 seconds or so, then remains constant and I've noticed when I take sharp turns or on an on/off ramp, there is a message that comes up and says the TPMS are not engaged (something to that nature) and I just hit OK to make it go away. I've had them this way for a couple months and it honestly is not a big deal, just know it's going to be there unless you unscrew the bulb or whatever. I asked my mechanic how much the TPMS' are and he guesstimated it would be around $600 for a set of four...not sure how accurate that is though.

Does anyone else find the TPMS on the C quite annoying where when and if that dreaded RED alert about a low tire pressure goes of on the dashboard one would need to check all 4 tires to figure which one has the low pressure 
why not actually show the lbs on each tire instead .... i believe i read somewhere that either the 2010's or the 2011's has this finally !!??

I also noticed the "check tire pressure" sign goes on when the weather changes
