I'm going to order some today and give it a shot, I bought the tool just to chk out the wurth sensors the dealer put in my winter tire setup that never worked...they were cloned I was told. according to the tool 2 are ok 1 is a copy and the other 2 don't respond.
The 1 that is a copy is the spare and it's never been mounted as far as I can see, haven't got a clue what they did.
I am not sure, I have their TMPS tool and it works quite well so I assume the sensors they sell are similarly good. I opted for OEM on my car though just because I was uncertain
"You can be a honky, but still be hung like a donkey". No, really, aliex sets, love em. 50us for 4 oem-looking working things. Can't beat that (and I tried with autel mx. pad is useful in shop, sensors are ok but annoying measurement discrepancy)
Is there a way to make it only sense 4 wheels instead of 5? Coz I use directional tires, there’s no point to put a spare in the trunk unless someone has a solution for that what spare to get for Michelin cross climate.

Yes, you can just skip the spare by manually moving the highlighted wheel to the left rear. It automatically starts at the left front/ right front/right rear/ spare(skip) move selection to left rear and your done.
I'm not sure if your car needs to see a spare for the system to work properly though, haven't tried that yet. You could just use your original spare I suppose because the tool doesnt know or care if it's a directional tire or not.
You can't avoid having 5, you can however equip the spare with something non-directional so you can put it on in place of any of the main tires if needed.
