Replace the sensors.
The only way to make it work is to replace the sensors on the 2013 wheels. The later model Rubicon dash displays each individual tire pressure, the 2010 is just an idiot light. I considered pulling the sensors out of my original wheels, two issues with that, the tire shop tells me that the batteries have a life limit, often just three to four years. And secondly, they would have to balance the tires after replacing the sensors. I found replacement sensors for as little as $25 but once again the wheels would need to be balanced after breaking them down to install them.
Since I can be careful with a dollar (cheap) I chose to use my Superchip tuner to disable the TPMS and use an old fashioned tire gauge to check my tire pressure.
