I believe 07 is the first year for the sensors, someone please correct me if I am wrong. Also, as far as I have heard, you cannot disable the sensor with a tuner or any aftermarket tricks. Of course this information could be out dated, please someone correct if I am wrong.
Why did I post anything if I am not sure about anything?

You will have the light, and I have yet to see a way to disable it with the IDS. (pull the bulb lol)
You can use your TPMS sensors on you current wheels, and transfer them over, and they will work. You will need new clamps, but its up to you if you want to be creative and use somthing cheap like wire. Hey it works, those clamps are like 15 bucks each.

They are now required in the United States. It was a phased-in requirement. For 2006, 20% of a manufacturers vehicles sold in the U.S. must have been equipped. In 2007, it was 70%. And for 2008, it is now 100%.
The decent tire shops are all working with these now. When you get your rims, have sensors put on them. That's the best you can do.
I actually like this system because I like knowing when a tire is going flat, particularly in off road situations where you often can't tell a tire is flat until you get on more solid ground. I wouldn't disable it, but that's my opinion.
