im tired of paying the dealer $100/car/season
Just get yourself an ATEQ Quickset, it will do the job.

GS Series 2005-2019
GX Series 2004-2019

If you already have the second set of sensors, with their own IDs, this is not an option (without buying a new set of sensors and having them programmed).

There are several aftermarket sensors that have no ID number and can be cloned to whatever ID number you want...these obviously can be changed.

If you have Lexus OEM sensors, the ID numbers are the numbers...that's it.

ohhhh.. yes in my case, all my sensors for both cars are OEM and they are already programmed from last year and not new this year.

I have all the ids on a paper, so I just need the tool to swap the codes each season.

im guessing the the ATEQ tool can do it right?

good point! Thanks!
so, basically every time I need to change to another set of tires with EOM TMPS, I would HAVE to pay the shop to make the ECU accept new IDs? Alternatively I need a tool that can actually reprogram IDs into the ECU correctly
Jesus...

ya man these dealers are serious robbers.

I basically pay $400/yesr just to swap my tires.

I have the tool, jack to swap them myself, but I tske it to dealer because they charge $100 for swap and programming the sensors each time.

if I swap the tires myself and take it to just get the programming done, it’s $70. Such BS

that is why I paid 95 bucks for a used scan tool, and 130 bucks for a set of programmable TPMS. Now, I get to switch those wheels for free every time I want (minus, my time doing it, of course). I did consider the oems but the thought of going to a dealer every time I switch the tires, was not warming my heart at all.

ya that was a good move. When I was purchasing my winter tire and rims. I swesr the shop told me the Lexus cars can’t take aftermarket sensors. Must be oem. Which is why I went with that. Had I known, i would have gone with ur setup. Much easier.

it “cant” take it because they will refuse to install them. 😎
Clearly, from my experiment, the ECU of my car can take them alright..

Go to the ATEQ Quickset website (https://www.ateq-tpms.com/en-us/prod...ms-reset-tool/) click on the 'where to buy' link, enter your country and province, and it comes up with 6 dealers in Ontario.

I bought my quickset from Amazon or ebay I believe. Didnt like it. Possibly did something wrong cause after I hit the button, it reset a bunch of things and I had to do some sort of recalibration of other systems. Bunch of warnings came up. I never used it again since lol.

I instead use my autel ts508. Works great, and you dont have to remember the id for your sensors. Itll program them into the correct position every time. Can also do some basic diagnostics with it in case you have a dead sensor. It's the route I would recommend over the quickset.

I also have a 17 350, and in canada

Sounds like maybe you had set it for the wrong car (manufacturer or model), don’t know, hadn’t heard of someone having issues.
All I know, is I’m entering my third winter with it, so my fifth time uploading IDs, and its worked fine, every time.

Did you lose the piece of paper with the codes? Lol

And to answer your question, yes it does.

no I didn’t. Lol
i quickly searched up the device and the price is pretty cheap. Similar to the ATEQ, so I was wondering if it had the retrieval function and programming function too


edit: nvm that took is like $500 lol

It's 14.99 at your local pepboys to program your TPMS to your car. I did it last year with my aftermarket wheels and OEM TPMS.
