If you don't f with the tire much, you may be able to get away without a rebalance...

If you're going through that trouble... Get the TPMS rebuild kit, new battery, valve stem and O-ring I think

Make sure they don't take you to the cleaners on that... Dealer price is like $15, COSTCO CHARGES $4/EACH

Not true. The TPMS sensors are registered with the BCM (body control module) for every car. That way you do not pick-up sensor signals from other vehicles driving near you and why your car does not recognize the new sensors. I am surprised the dealer did not know this. The dealer should just be able to reflash the BCM and have it register the new TPMS signals. There is no need to remount tires, etc. They have to do this whenever a sensor goes bad or you replace a sensor for whatever reason.

I would either ask the dealer again or find another dealer.

There's gotta be a reason why people selling and buying are anal and lets say the '09s don't work with the '10s

That's what I am thinking... He was doing the recalibration on the sensors wrong somehow. He's supposed to check and let me know. I'll keep everyone posted with what happens.

Thanks for the input....
