have this discussion with them first. Where I live several of the dealers share the equipment
make sure you explain to the service counter that the sensors are different than all of the other Mopar product and to ensure he has the relearn tools on hand the day of installation. Once they dig in, they’ll be able to assist
Best to do the inquires mid morning or mid afternoon when they have time to dig into it.
the sensors and key fobs both appear to be direct wired in to Chrysler with no alternatives
the sensors would last 10 years.
best to do all 4 at the same time. The $fee the dealer is going to charge for the relearn will be an hour.
you can do 2 sensors or 4 sensors in that hour.
it will he the same price
or you can buy them from the tire shop and then have to purchase a second set that actually works correctly from the dealership. There is a really good chance the the sensors you purchase from the tire shop will not work.
im speaking from experience( I have a new set of 4 from a tire shop that didn’t work.)
confirm the door rate and make sure they have the tools before you go down the path with the dealer.
these are the only two reasons to do to the dealer oh and parts. (Many of the same parts branded MB are less expensive at the dealership.
Reliableron from BC had the EZ sensors installed at a tire dealer with no problems.
The sensors in my Chrysler LHS used the same Schrader sensors as one of my Crossfires, I cannot remember which. So the dealer should be familiar with them.
Touch wood my sensors were installed on the car in October 2004 and are still going. I will use the EZ sensor when it comes to replace them.
All of the MB parts that I have priced were cheaper at the MB dealers. Chrysler dealers go to the MB dealer to buy them as needed and mark them up a hellish amount..
