TPMS Issue still - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well, after 3 months 2 tire sensors, 1 toll road tag, a BCM, and an OnStar mirror today I am told that my service TPMS issue is my (non metallic) window tint.

Anyone else heard of this?

So, if I am to believe this, the signal is strong enough to go through steel reinforced rubber, a Glass window but just can't manage to get through 3M window film.

I had the same issue and went through something similar.

After weeks of troubleshooting with the dealership, we were finally able to identify the issue as the Scosche kit.

Do you happen to have one installed?

No, the car is completely stock except for window tint. They made me remove my toll tag before they would change the BCM. Now, out of the blue, they're blaming window tint. I told them I'm not removing the tint. It's just window film.
