Arrow Should Hypertech offer TPMS Programming?

A while back, I emailed Hypertech if they were considering adding TPMS programming and got this response:

This may be something we offer in the future but no word as to when or if for sure.
Thanks

Jim

So let's let Hypertech know if we are interested!

I would be all for it as long as it was an update. I would not buy another programmer just for the TPMS adjustment.

Can you run aftermarket wheels on a jeep without the tire pressure monitor? I bought the rims and tires ballanced without them.

2007 - doesn't matter. 2008 or 2009 - as long as you don't mind the dings and being mooned by the butt symbol (_!_), have at it!

A long time captured market and they did little to improve their product. If they do handle TPMS in the future definitely need to make sure you're out of the vehicle when you do it as I'm sure it will add another 15 minutes to program.

I got the same response from my email to them. I sent it after the ProCal came out!

Thanks for starting this poll, I'm going to report the results and we'll see what happens. I can't promises that it's something that will be added or that it will be added tomorrow, but we are always looking for ways to improve things. Keep the post coming.

Add the ability to use lockers in 4HI, like superchips.

I would love the TPMS disable, but the locker mod would be fantastic. I really don't want to add any extra switches or such for this capability.
Fogs on with high beams would be another great mod.
Don't really care about the turn signal options, or daytime running lights, but a selectable high idle can be a useful mod.
