Has anyone experienced issues with TPMS monitors interfering with Garage Door Openers? 

I had 2 sensors replaced on my car and when the car is parked inside, under the opener, none of the remotes or keypad work.  If I pull the car outside in the driveway, all is well.  I did get a temp fix by ordering a Skylink Remote and Receiver, which operates on a different frequency than the TPMS or the Opener that connects to the button wiring and works well.  But the Genie remotes and keypad remain inoperable when the car is in the garage. 

Anyone?

Yep, I googled it a few times myself and read the info.   I am still in the trouble shooting mode, but I did remove all the wheel and took them down the neighbors with the car in the garage and still no go.  Another RF Tech seems to think that the car computer got the siignal and is retransmitting it.  My GF has the same model car so I may do a wheel swap and reset TPMS and see if it still happens, or moves the problem to the other car.  I can park her car in my garage and all is well, so maybe swapping wheels to hers might prove help prove that.  That RF buddy does have a Spectrum Analyzer in his work truck, so I asked that when he gets in the area with that, to give me a call. 

Two TPMS  sensors on left side of car were changed out day before door issue noticed.  I swapped the garage door head thinking that might be an issue with the receiver or Circuit board, but same thing.  TPMS supposedly operates on 315mhz and garage door at 390 (or 315 and 390) and that Skylink remote and receiver at 318mhz.  The Skylink works fine and I parked the car in my neighbors garage with an opener that operates on 315 and it worked fine on his opener.   Oddly enough Genie was of no real help, but did conform thst only the newer ones operate on both 390 and 315 and mine operates on 390...... So maybe they realized a problem was happening and did this as a preemptive measure, but won't cover earlier models.  Not sure.

never heard of the tire pressure monitor sensors in a vehicle interfer with the garage door remote, very odd.  Next set of tires just don't get TPMS sensors installed.  I do not have them installed on my snow tires for winter using them 4 months of the year and don't mind not having them.  All that happens is I get the round light on the dash with an exclamation point inside (TPMS light) that stays on all the time while driving is all, doesn't bother me one bit. 

Not trying to be a smarty pants, but I have never used my garage door remote INSIDE the garage inside the car.  I have always been outside the garage when opening the garage and closing the garage while in my vehicle.  I have always used the button by my door leading into the house in the garage to close and open the garage door while being in the garage on foot, never the garage door remote while inside the car.
