Ok I read the FAQ and found this regarding a BASE Z and TPMS Sensors..
Q: I bought a base model Z. Can I buy sensors or wheels from another model and put them on my car?
A: Yes you can but they won't show the pressure on the multi-function display (triple-meter) or warn you when the pressure is too low. Your car doesn't have the antenna to pick up the signals from the sensors and your computer isn't setup to display them.
My question, I have an 06 Base Z. I purchased TPMS sensors from an 03-05 and want to know if I have the dealer Re-Program my sensors, will they work with my multi display? Right now, I have the sensors installed and I am gettin the tire pressure light on my dash, and the multi display does not read the preassure.

Which makes me wonder how the hell it worked before I changed out my wheels. Before the new wheels, I could view the tire pressure of each wheel. Also, why would it display a tire pressure light if I did not have the electronics to begin with.

I have no traction control or buttons on my steering wheel.
