On the Honda systems the band is attached my a screw with you can loosen and swap to other rims. Ford opted for a one time use band. And the bands are really expensive as the sensors are also.

Funny thing is that for the '10 MY Ford went to the TPMS in the valve stem (thus eliminating the need for the bands, though I'm unsure if the other system can be transferred wheel to wheel)
Actually that begs the question, now that Ford changed to the other (presumably cheaper) type, what does that mean for those of us who have the other system if we need parts? :huh:

Well I know for one thing all Ford band systems are one use only.. As for the TMPS being in the valve stem, haven't heard of that yet.. Must be new like you indicated.
