Adding TPMS to a non-TPMS model
Does anyone know if it's possible to add a low tire pressure control module with the antenna, and the four wheel sensors to a non-TPMS 350Z? Is the connector always present on the wiring harness? Will the unified meter controller recognize it after it's been installed? I'm thinking about getting run-flat tires next time I need tires, and getting rid of the spare. It would be nice to have TPMS with the RFTs. I tend to crank the stereo and might not notice right away if I get a flat. I've found some salvage control modules online. I just don't want to start ripping the dash apart only to find there is no connection for it in the harness.

I can't speak on whether you can add the TPMS, but I can assure you that you will notice if you get a flat. Even a tire that is ~10 PSI low will transfer a horrible unstable/wobbly feeling.
I absolutely HATE run flat tires and would not recommend them. I had them on my 2011 Mini Cooper S and they were loud and rough (and I'm 19 and feel that I have a pretty high tolerance for noise and uncomfortable cars and whatnot).

My wife's BMW has RFTs, and they have saved her twice now. She's had two punctured tires already, and drove on home with them. That's pretty cool compared to being stuck out in the rain or snow changing a tire on the side of the road. Her tires are noisy, but I don't really care.
I never noticed running 10psi until the tire got completely flat. It is a good idea to have TPMS sensors.
Read this thread, plenty info here.

From what it is look like, it is possible but you will also need a new cluster with TPMS sensor light (main one, not the one above glovebox).

I would like to know if someone added the module already. I have a main cluster that has TPMS light, also my triple gauge cluster support that feature.
Seems like the only thing that is missing is TMPS module, but I have no idea if you can connect it to the earlier models.

Mine has factory tpms. It's more of a novelty than anything. Also a pita at $80 per sensor when batteies go.
If it was my money, I'd just whip out my tire Guage once a weekwhen I wash.

You can get them at $40 aftermarket and it will work fine, but that is not the point.
The question is: is it possible to add TPMS system to non-TPMS model 350z's?
Has anybody done that?
