How To Remove TPMS Sensors With Ant-Theft Mechanism?

Question:

Hi. Im interested in the iN-Command TPMS system for my camper NCTP100, but have a question. I understand that one must remove the sensors to add air I also understand theres an anti-theft mechanism keeping someone from removing and stealing the sensors. So, on the highway, if I need to remove a sensor to add air, how do I do that given the presence of the anti-theft device that keeps people and maybe me? from removing the sensor?

Hello Mark, thanks for reaching out. The sensors that come with the iN-Command TPMS # NCTP100 do have an antitheft mechanism that stops people from spinning the sensors off by hand. The kit comes with a special wrench tool that allows you to loosen the locking collar and remove the sensor. Keep that tool with you on the road and you'll be able to remove the sensors if you need to add air

@MarkR Hey Mark, glad to help! I think you'll definitely be happy with the iN-Command system. Its great for peace of mind on those long trips. I actually just upgraded from an old Corolla to a new Camry with a factory TMPS and its honestly been a huge relief. Absolutely worth it. Feel free to come back anytime you need anything!
