My feeling it they discovered they can't heat the "wood" as it deteriorates and cracks due to the heat.

Do we have to install custom tpms or will it receive signals from any tpms sensors I have seen nothing about them.

With the trailer TPMS, you are supplied with 4 screw on sensors with the option to buy more by the pair.

Yes...My 2013 Focus has it in the cup holder and under both sides of the dash. Kids like to cycle through the 6 or 7 different colors.
