When I bought my (CDN) 2014 LT2 RS, it didn't have TPMS. I enquired about having it dealer installed, but was told basically the same thing and it would be prohibitively expensive.A couple of GM dealerships in Canada tell me that the onboard computer sold in Canada different than the American models which have an options for TPMS that can be enabled or disabled. It seems that in Canada, it either comes with TMPS or not, so that option cannot be enabled/disabled. I find this hard to believe, but this is what I have so far...
My last GM car had TPMS, and it was quite accurate. The beauty of the GM system is that you reset the wheel sensors yourself when changing to snows or just rotating wheels. You don't have to pay the dealer to do it like some of the imports.
