Where can i get TPMS?
Hey I have a couple of sets of wheels and would prefer to just get a new set of TPMS. Where can I find these things? Dealer not my first option.
Thanks

"Risk of accident
Do not fit anything else to the tyre valve other than the standard valve cap. In particular, retrofitted tyre pressure monitors which are screwed on to the valve may overload it and cause it to fail. Due to their design, the valve is kept open continuously, which may lead to air loss."

You're right; Or to be more precise, you don't need the "Tyre pressure monitors/transmitters" i.e. valve caps, as the Canadian GLKs do not have the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" (TPMS).
You (we -) have a "pressure loss warning system", which is based on the principle of "a wheel’s rotational speed changes due to falling tire inflation pressure", and thus only need standard valve caps. From the GLK Operator's Manual:

page 222.
