You gotta be kidding me?! I called up Laguna Smart Dealer and its $101.23 per sensor. Wow...Talk about expensive, that costs more than the tires that your mounting on the rims.
Can any of you guys in the other states confirm that pricing?
I think the smart uses the standard Mercedes pressure sensor (can someone confirm). That's a Beru unit. Think mail order has it for ~$91. It is what it costs, has nothing to do with the smart. I'd say $101.23 is an excellent price from your smart dealer.
see what happens when people are too lazy to check the air in there tires and start suing big companies... an average of $800.00 per vehicle sold in the US. Almost as stupid as building a wall on our border...

Someone swapped out their rims and removed the sensors. They are made by Shrader Electronics.
Thanks for that link. When I changed my rims I bought new seals and nuts, but reused the cores and caps, hard to find these locally and not sure why we have to replace the caps. The nuts I bought were from Tire Rack in Mitsui bags and I went to seveal of their car dealerships as well as Mercedes dealers - not stocked. Great to have instructions, but hard when not able to easily get the parts they recommend.
