I have a 2012 RX350 with the 19" wheel option, built in Canada.

I am trying to buy a 2nd set of used OEM TPMS sensors for my winter rims. Through my research, I came across two different part numbers: 42607-0E011 and 42607-33021.

It seems that the first one is for the Canadian built and the second is for the Japanese built. Does anyone know the difference between these two and whether they are interchangeable (i.e. either will work)?

Also, have any of you used the TPMS sensors from another Toyota/Lexus model and able to get them to work?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I would ask a question to this vendor. I would expect they can interchange between build plants & other Toyota vehicles.
The 33021 is shown on the drawing.

I do not use TPMS in my winter set. The benefits far outweigh the cost.

Even if you get a new set of sensors, these need to be programmed at the dealer each time you change your tires. Unless you get a questionable version of Techstream and a cable.

You'd probably want to get something that can clone the originals. I haven't done enough research on this because I simply don't care for this government-mandated feature.

Bought the tires & sensors at the local dealer had them mount/install the first time. I do my own seasonal change-overs at home. Take it in to the dealer, they program the car to see the new sensors. No charge & a coffee while I'm waiting.

Disagree. There must be a hack method to getting the vehicle to sniff out the TPMS in your winters without getting bent over at the dealer. On my Z there is some silly paperclip trick that takes minutes. If someone knows one, please provide a link.
On 55 series sidewalls, you need to be about 15psi* low to have a chance to notice and that's too much. You are risking ruining a perfectly good tire.
*If a human female operates your vehicle, triple that number.

Pay once and done. It's not a silver bullet, since it's not cheap, but it's a reasonable solution.
