Funny Dealership Experience

So last saturday I went to the dealership to purchase my push start button and I decide to talk to the parts guys about the TPMS sensors since I have an 08 FG2. Anyways I ask if there was someway if I bought all new sensors to have them calibrated to my car because I want 2 sets of wheels, 1 for winter and 1 for summer. He says there is but Honda discontinued the device so they can't do it right now but they are going to buy an aftermarket one. He then tells me hold on and walks away only to come back and hands me 4 TPMS sensors and says I can have them for free since they don't have the device. I'm stoked needless to say.. Now to just buy wheels

Nice, I'd double check that they are Civic sensors before installing though. What's the part number on them or the package?
