Also, I want to retain functionality of the TPM system so that emulator isn't an option.
Yes, the sensor batteries should last at least 5-6 years. If the tires are 2010, the sensors are probably too. So they won't work with 2009 and before. That's most likely the issue. If you get new ones you can easily resell those.
