1. Yes, and you can have you car recognize two sets of sensors.

2. Yes, all GX 470 sensors are the same. Check with your dealer just in case, but they have changed nothing with the wheels sice 2003 so there would be no reason to change the sensors.

1) Can I reprogram the sensors by myself? Without the dealer involvement?

2)I was told they changed the sensors in 2006???? Anyone can confirm?

3)How hard is it to remove my old sensors and install them in new wheels?

I just recently put new set of 4runner wheels with a set of toyota sensors and I did not program the serial numbers in. And either the truck automatically is recognizing them, or something is wrong, because I am not getting any flashing signal on the dash for the sensors...

Thank you for your input, but I think we would all like a little more of an explaination.

What is different about them and when did they change?
