    I seem to have some trouble with the 575, it gives me a "service" the tire pressure after about 10 miles of driving from initial start. I just noticed this after installing wheel spacers in the front and back. Has anyone else run into this? Spacers are 15mm for the front and 30mm for the back.

    Thanks!

    Have you ever thought of getting it shut off? I was reading throught the owners manual and it seems that the Dealer can shut it off.
    Just an idea, because I really like the way the car looks with the spacers. I wonder if it does the same thing with custom wheels.

    Are the sensors communicate by RF transmission?
    Adding separation space to small proximity transmitter is bad and could cause the dropped signal

    here is something to add.

    put the spacers on. Calibrated the system. All came up and was good for 1 day. passenger front stopped reading (replaced it and still did not work). Been this way for a couple of months. service light comes on after 10 minutes of driving. Replaced the tires a week ago and now all 4 sensors are not reading.

    I do not have spacers and I was getting the error light too. I think they have "self-recharging" batteries that go bad. I just had the system shut off at the dealer. I get one warning when I start the car about it being disabled and then I never hear about the system again.

    The sender is in the valve stem... did the shop put new (non-sending) stems on the car?

    crap! I bet that's what happened. Any way to tell if they are the non sending stems without removing?

    Ask the shop what they did with your old stems. They're pretty cheap, so it's not a huge deal... but the tires would need to be pulled and remounted.
