That's funny you guys talking about the shipping cost. I thought i'd order one until I looked at the shipping cost. $64.50 to me for the shipping, bit of a deal breaker.

I reprogrammed my new set of wheels with these but it was not straight forward. I did the lock/unlock press both at the same time to get the car ready. I actually had to do that several times to get the TPMS on gauge to show all blanks.
Once I got that done, the 2004-2007 CTS-V scanner would only work on the front two wheels - nodda on the rears. So I did the unlock/lock press both and start all over etc.
In the end I was finally able to get it to work. I did the unlock/lock press both to get started. Did the driver front, passenger front on the 2004-2007 CTS-V setting. Then on the rear passenger did the 2007-09 DTS and finally the driver side rear with the same DTS setting. Got the 2 honks and the gauge finally read all the correct TPMS settings.
Maybe it's just me but I did follow the directions - so just sharing what I had to do to get it to work.
Thanks!

Went to a track event Monday/Tuesday, so I finally had an opportunity to use mine. Of course, I forgot to pack it into the car with all the other **** I bring. 
And then the manual method, which I've never had issues with before, was being finicky - Murphy's Law.
Now that I'm home I need to pull out the TPMS tool and see if I can make it work. I'd hate to go to the next track day and have issues like philistine did.
