TPMS programmer
Someone had a link to a TPMS programming device. I can't seem to find it.
Anyone remember where they are available? I want to put TPMS on the winter tires this year.
Also, does the programmer also work on the model years that didn't require a programmer? Or do you have to do the manual method of letting air out one at a time?
Thanks
Steve

Sam’s Club was unable to do it several times. They had an expensive looking clunky rig. I just gave up and went to my Chevy dealer who does it for free at the desk in about 1 minute. If it weren’t for that I would have bought my own tool a long time ago.

I bought this tool from Amazon.
When I purchased new tires for my Panel (they were 11 years old) I replaced the sensors Original stall all worked. The tire shop wouldn't program them since I didn't buy their $89 each sensors. No big deal with correct procedure. Except now I have prosthetic, hence the tool. I ended up finding 2 of the new sensors were either defective or damaged by the tire shop. I contacted the vendor and they stood tall and sent me another set of 4 sensors. They also suggested I program to the correct wheel before they were installed, that way I know they were good and not damaged upon install.
