Quick question. My local dealer told me that they could not program aftermarket TPMS sensors. Is this true? My new wheels should be in tomorrow, and I want to get them programmed. Has anyone had a problem with getting aftermarket sensors programmed?

 

I have searched the forum but did not find an answer. Can anyone help me out?

 

They could. They just want you to spend money on their own brand of TPMS. I did mine at an independent shop and he is an ex Lexus master technician. Keep asking around

 

recommend you try a different lexus dealer, or what mesca recommended (re: independent shop)

 

Think I got quoted ~$125 to get them re-programmed at the dealership, and $60 at the independent shop. No-brainer!

 

The next closest dealer is about 100 miles away so I will call around to a couple of local shops. Thanks fellas

 

I got a set of used PACIFIC TPMS off of eBay for $68, and Lexus dealer wanted $225 to install and program them on my winter tires. I got my regular Toyota dealer to install and program for $100.
