yes they still uses sensors in the tires, but I have the original 15 year old ones in my 2007 Jeep that work fine still!Originally Posted By: SteveSRT8
The best is still MOPAR. Cannot be fooled, put the tires wherever you want and the computer will figure them out as soon as they turn a few rotations. I've had tire shops actually try to charge me for the relearn procedure!
But they still use sensors in the wheel to communicate. Somebody’s making money on it.
My last two cars were passive systems using the existing ABS system. No sensors for the ape in the tire shop to snap. Resetting is pushing a button or navigating a menu...total of about 2 calories expended.
+1 on BMW, hit "reset" drive off and forget.TPMS tool? Both VW and BMW do not require TPMS tool.
My Toyota on other hand? I just gave up. Driving with light on in winter. Considering I drive it once a week so battery does not die, it is OK.
I asked Toyota dealership when I got this POS is there any way that does not require TPMS tool, and guy literally said: take out light from dash. I did that on Tacoma.
Wait what? screw on Garmin TPMS?I use the Garmin screw ons. I just punch in the pressure and low pressure warning into my 595LM. They work like a charm!! No relearning. No removing tire to replace battery or bad sensor.
