What is a Core Charge ?
A "Core Charge" is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a Core Charge, or Core Price, that works the same way as a soda can deposit.
Here's how the Core Charge works :
- The part you are purchasing contains a component that is recyclable
- The Core Charge deposit is charged at the time of purchase
- When the recyclable component from your old part is returned to us, the charge is refunded to you
To receive your Core Charge refund, you can do either of the following :
- Bring the part to any Advance Auto Parts store along with your receipt or packing slip
- Mail the part back to Advance Auto Parts following the directions including on your packing slip
Core Charges are often mandated by state legislature, and, as such, the actual core charge and taxes on the charge may vary depending on the state in which you buy your part. The Advance Auto Parts core charge presented to you online today with your item is representative of the most common core charge. If you have any questions, please call 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) or visit any Advance Auto Parts store.

Filters and Manufacturer's Warranties
Consumer purchasers of automotive filters are sometimes told by an automobile dealer-s service writer or mechanic that a brand of replacement filter cannot be used in the consumer-s vehicle during the warranty period. The claim is made that use of the brand will "void the warranty," with the statement or implication that only the original equipment brand of filters may be used. This, of course, tends to cast doubt on the quality of the replacement filter.
That claim is simply not true. If the consumer asks for the statement in writing, he will not receive it. Nevertheless, the consumer may feel uneasy about using replacement filters that are not original equipment. With the large number of do-it-yourselfers who prefer to install their own filters, this misleading claim should be corrected.
Under the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act, 15U.S.C. SS 2301-2312 (1982) and general principles of the Federal Trade Commission Act, a manufacturer may not require the use of any brand of filter (or any other article) unless the manufacturer provides the item free of charge under the terms of the warranty.
So, if the consumer is told that only the original equipment filter will not void the warranty, he should request that the OE filter be supplied free of charge. If he is charged for the filter, the manufacturer will be violating the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act and other applicable law.
By providing this information to consumers, the Filter Manufacturers Council can help to combat the erroneous claim that a brand of replacement filter other than the original equipment will "void the warranty."
It should be noted that the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that applies to consumer products. The Federal Trade Commission has authority to enforce the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act, including obtaining injunctions and orders containing affirmative relief. In addition, a consumer can bring suit under the Magnuson - Moss Warranty Act.

Product Details
Part No. O8211686835VDO
Warranty Details (1 YR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE)
Extensive domestic, Asian, and European vehicle coverage for North America covered with just 4 sensors! The seamless, multi-application service solution for direct TPMS. Works with existing TPMS scan tools - No new scan tool investment required. No extra step for programming sensor. Covers over 90% of GM, Ford and Chrysler applications. Reduces inventory and eliminates service delays. OE designed and validated. REDI-Sensor makes TPMS service faster, easier and more profitable. TPMS service has grown more and more complex, with competing sensor standards, multiple scan and trigger tools, expensive equipment and software updates. Now, the VDO REDI-Sensor brings simplicity, ease of installation and better profit potential to TPMS service. REDI-Sensor is a technological breakthrough based on the concept of having one TPMS sensor preprogrammed to work with multiple makes and models. Works with all major TPMS scan tools. Look no further - REDI-Sensor is the TPMS service solution that the aftermarket has been waiting for! It's simple. Take REDI-Sensor out of the box, install it, and follow the OE vehicle relearn procedure - that's it! Unlike competitive sensors, there is never a need to clone or to load vehicle software / protocols to a blank universal sensor. These steps take specialized programming tools, which add time, cost and complexity. Ready to install right out of the box. REDI-Sensor requires no special sensor programming and relearns to the vehicle just like an OE sensor. While competitive multi-application and universal programmable sensors require the added cost of specialized sensor programming tools, software, and labor to program or clone a blank sensor, REDI-Sensor comes ready to go onto the vehicle, right out of the box.
Product Features:- VDO multi-application sensor technology easily syncs with a variety of vehicles
- Ready out of the box! Pre-programmed and designed to follow OE vehicle relearn procedures
