Do you need to goto the dealer to get TPMS sensors reprogrammed? Is there somewhere else you can go? I just picked up a set of TPMS sensors from TireRack (less than half the price of the dealership!) and I need to get them programmed for the car.

I think in another thread somebody mentioned a device from Canadian Tire that claimed to re-program sensors. Did anybody try that?

any shop that has the TPMS programmin device can do it, doesnt has to be dealer

So any tire shop can do it? I think I'm gonna get Simply Tire to do the install in the wheels for me.

So it looks like the place I am going does not program TPMS sensors. Is there anywhere I can go to get it done cheaper than at a dealership? Does anybody here have a scan tool? Almost seems like a waste of money to pay money just to scan a sensor.

The tools you can buy doesnt support our evos yet.... been in development for a while and apparently there isnt any light at the end of the tunnel either.

Just man up and ignore the beeping sounds

+1 if knowing your pressure is low. Just buy a tire pressure gauge and check everytime you fill up your gas

For the cost of reprogramming at the dealership put it towards some mods for spring!

Or put Nitrogen in the tires and forget about it. But you'll still need to ignore the beeps and lights. LOL

380 from dealer to insure my 2nd set always works..seems like a good plan to me..

$380 to program TPMS? seems like a lot!!

Crester

Yup... that is a lot for sure. Maple told me $50+tax...!

Bambuth

Is that per sensor or for the set.

I've heard its $40 a tire but thats just what i've heard i just deal with the constant beeping everytime i start my car

Crester

You know what??? I didn't ask... but that better be the TOTAL price. If it's $200... I'm gonna buy the tool myself. I think a TPMS reset tool is around $300.
