TPMS question

With my wife's '09 Civic, we were told that swapping to winter wheels/tires (with a second set of sensors) would require the dealer to reprogram the system to recognize the second set of sensors.

All my previous cars (BMW, Audi, VW) automatically recognized the new sensors merely requiring a requiring resetting the system via a button on the dash.

Would a 2011 TSX wagon automatically recognize a second set of sensors or does it need a visit to the dealer twice a year to swap wheels - and the added diagnostic charge?

If you get the exact model OEM sensor, then you do not need to visit the dealer. The car just picks up the new sensors.

Yup, the car just picks up the 2nd set automatically. I've got one set for winters and another for my summers

Thanks all. That's what I thought.

Do all model years of the TSX use the same sensors?

It's funny to watch the MID freak out when you have stock wheels *on* the car, and different, complete TPMS equipped wheels *in* the car.

Can anyone provide a list of all the TPMS sensors that will work with our TSX? I know I have read that the RDX sensors will work along with possibly a few others.
