2010 models and above need different TPMS

more profit for infiniti
Every time they change the TPMS sensors they "lock out" the independent shops for a while. My shop told me the Nissan/Infiniti sensors are among the most expensive. If the auto manufactures had the consumer at heart all TMPS systems would give a dashboard readout of actual pressure and temps so the "average owner" doesn't have to go to the dealer and pay to find the reason for the light going on, and they would standardize the tools used to set them. In addition Infiniti didn't include a switch, real easy with the touch screen, to switch summer and winter sensors. Both the Lexus and Infiniti service writers told me almost all of their customers who use winter tires don't use TPMS because of the expense and complexity, so the whole purpose of TPMS is defeated because of the strategy of profit over consumer safety (unless required by law).

Does this mean that the local tire shop can't order the updated sensors? Or are they currently exclusive to the dealers?

aftermarket sensors
yes there are aftermarket sensors that will work for mid 2010-2011 according to my shop. However... they were almost as expensive as the OEM sensors and were "out of stock" at the supplier (e.g. likely not available yet)
