Smile Hi All, new to STI world

Hey Guys,
I am new to STI world but i am loving it . Also love the I-club lot more meets and info.

Also i need some help:
I just swapped set of winter wheels with summer wheels and the TPMS light is ON. I know its just an Amber light which stares at you all the time but if members can help i can get rid of it.

I live in bay area so if someone has a tool to read TPMS ID then please let me know. Once I have it I can get them loaded in into my ECU, your help will be really appreciated. Please PM me if you have the device. See you guys at BAM XI.

Dealership is asking $62 for this What the hell ... it takes 10 min at max to do it...

Welcome to the club! Your car looks freaking amazing. I can't help you with your TPMS, but I'm sure someone here can. Good luck!

its because the stock wheels have a sensor to tell you when they are low on air. since the winter wheels are not stock it's something they can charge you for. I would check out Americana tires and see if they can do it for less money.

car is amazing FYI best look for the new sti!

@04caliwrx thanks for the comments

when i swapped to winter setup i got lucky, someone at the local shops resetted my TPMS for free but now its a hassle. I'll swap tires at-least twice a year so i was thinking of buying the reset tool within few months but for now i am looking for help.

Someone actually bought the tool that feed the TPMS ID in the ECU but i don't have the TPMS ID for the Stock tires thats why i need some help in getting the ID

Thank you all for your comments, I am coming from 350Z world so this car feels more agile and aggressive.
