Default Two sets of wheels for TPMS?

Hi all. I did a search but couldn't get a definite answer for the 4th gen. Can our GS350s allow for two sets of wheels to be TPMS programmed? I know of some other models that allow owners to switch between summer and winter wheels. Instead of having to take it to a shop to get the TPMS reprogrammed every time, you can switch a setting to go from one set of wheels to the other. Do our cars have this option? Thanks!

Look under either the driver side or passenger side dash.. there should be switches for TPMS & AFS if I remember correct. You'll have to lay your back on the floor and look directly under but I believe there is a switch that will allow you to have winter wheels. My 07 GS450h has this feature as well.

No they do not allow for two sets of TPMS, the 3rd gen allowed that and this model they did away with it. Only way is to reprogram it every time you switch.

There are several ways to do this:

1) You can get the ATEQ Quickset from Amazon, which stores the IDs for both sets of wheels and basically reprograms for you when swapping. Note, that you MUST have the IDs beforehand(write down the IDs before the tires get mounted on the wheels) as the tool doesn't "read" the IDs.
https://www.amazon.com/ATEQ-QuickSet.../dp/B008SCWXN4

2) Techstream

3) You can get aftermarket sensors that can "clone" the same set of IDs as your current sensors. Most tire shops can do this, but it may not be cheap.

4) Reprogram at the dealer/tire shop every seasons. $$$ and a hassle especially if you can/willing to swap your own tires at home.

5) Screw TPMS, put a piece of black tape over the TPMS warning light

Another option is Carista. I was able to program a new set of sensors to my car using the app from my phone. I believe the function is still in beta testing phase, but you can ask them to add you to the test group to try out the function and send them debug data.

I bought ATEQ Quickset and it works great. If you don,t have the serial number for your TPMS, you need toprogram the mounted wheels to the quickset. Swap out the wheels, go to Discount Tires and have them reprogram your TPMS to your car. Go home and program the second set to the Quickset. Discount Tires will reprogram your TPMS for free.
