    I'm not a do-it-yourself type person so I don't know but I think it requires a separate signal strength reader to be held next to the tire. The readers can be purchased through some auto parts stores or online. One member mentioned he found them online for a few hundred dollars. That was in the thread TPMS Reminder - Batteries don't last forever | PriusChat

    Cancel that order and purchase from other seller, one with good feedback reputation and preferably local to you. They are all pretty much of a muchness. Make sure they have 64-bit drivers so you can install on Win 7 (64-bit), 8.1 or 10.

    Better still find a good seller that is selling VxDiag for Toyota, a bit more expensive, but easier to install, works faster and more reliably.
