Does Carista work with aftermarket TPMS sensors? Or do the sensors have to be genuine Toyota/Lexus components?
I am thinking of buying a Winter Tire and Wheel package from the Tire Rack with a set of TPMS sensors preinstalled.

 

Last night Carista app on my Android came up with new update, looking at details shows that now TPMS programming available for Toyota/Lexus, need to try some day

 

Yes, it does - as long as they are the right kind. Also make sure you know ID#s of the new sensors so you can program them into the car. To me the tire rack sensors are way overpriced for what they are at $80/each. It should be about $20.

​​​And make sure to record IDs of the current sensors so you can program the car back to the summer wheels.

A better option is to get a set of cloned sensors - this way you do not have to pay Carista for each reprogramming. See the link below:

@Carista Do you have a promotion for lifetime membership for us? Expecting keeping my car 5 years I will have to pay 100$ (10$/ 2x / year) at today's price because swapping between winter and summer tires.

 

There's no lifetime membership (hasn't existed for the past 2 years). I would think it's pretty fair that your payment be proportional to your usage. And $10 per switch is not bad at all - certainly a lot cheaper than a dealer and even cheaper than your neighborhood tire shop (I've never heard of a shop doing it for less than $10 USD, unless you're buying wheels & sensors from them for hundreds or thousands of dollars, in which case they may do the TPMS registration for free once).

 

todor it's just that I have other means for the other customizations, that we are not sure that the prices will not change and that I pay in CAD (+30%).and have to buy the dongle. At the end it's 150 CAD...I know that at Lexus dealership they charge crazy prices. I'm just looking at the alternatives.

 

Just get a set of four cloned sensors then - $100 for the sensors, $52 for the programmer.

 

Does the programming feature work with 2013 GS 350 OEM sensor?

 

This is late question though, did it work with your 350?
