I suppose I could have found the parts if I tried harder, but I didn't want the hassle. From what I can tell, I don't believe there's any difference from 2018 to 2019, but there are several different TPMS depending on wheel style and model. I understand the reasons for this engineering, just like I understand the reasons for having a flap that opens and closes the muffler exhaust pipe. But I do think this type of engineering has gotten out of control on the newer cars.
