Anyone have an option as in a tire shop that knows how to program these sensors or own one of the tools in the pdx area?
My dealer is clueless. After explaining my situation on the phone they told me yeah it'll be fine.
After 2 hours I get the "I can read the sensors but we don't program them, they won't display " tried to tell me that it would read after I drove it more. I've had the wheels and new sensors on for a week.
Frustrated.

I told them what I knew from reading the forums and they said that's subaru stuff...no they are the same and I was also looking at toyota cars.
They showed me a print out that they could read them but that they didn't do anything and "couldn't program them" was made worse as English was the guys second language and I have some hearing problems. They also claim that there is no update for my head unit and that maybe it's because it's a different manufacturer for the unit (really the 10k Cars made have different sourced head units)


They have successfully wasted 2 hours of my time.

Probably going to swing by discount tire and try as they said they do it all the time and wouldn't charge.
Next option is $200 for a programmer. Unfortunately I have different sensors than tire rack sells so I'm on my own with what programmer will work.

Are you trying to program them or relearn them to your car?
Do you know what brand/frequency TPMS sensors were used? I had some issues with Fitment Industries sending me the wrong frequency.

I'm in the Portland area and would be happy to help out if you just need them relearned.

I'm not sure exactly what the tire shop did. The dealer was able to see them and read the sensor ID and frequency. But even after 25miles no warning light or displayed pressure.

I lowered one tire to 15psi and the warning ⚠ came on.

He showed me pressure data from the car. I drove 15miles to the dealer and I'm not parked that close to the old wheels so it was new data. But for some reason it won't display.

I mean if the light stays off I guess it could be worse.

It was point S tire.

I'll try some shit today and see what I can find out.

I should have lied and had the tires mounted on the wheels separately. No sensors, at least it would have saved me $200
