Bought set of wheels and tires just for winter and purchased these TPMS sensors for them.. Next week tire shop is going to put new winter tires on the rims and I asked them to install the TPMS sensors I bought. They want $25 per tire just for programming! I know there is an option in the car menu to add different wheels etc. Do I need to have these programmed of can I just go thru that menu to add these TPMS to the car?
I wouldn't have bought preprogrammed TPMS sensors. I would find a tire service center that provides TPMS sensors that can clone the current ones on your car. That way, changing from to Winter tires and wheels will not require reprogramming after each change. If you have access to Toyota Techstream or a capable scanner, you can recover the serial numbers of the TPMS sensors that are currently on your car.
No, but cloning the TPMS transmittersto match the current ones on the car is a no brainer. Changing tires back and again after each season will not require reprogramming with each tire swap.
Confusion with snows stored in the garage. Apparently no biggie with the Gen 5. There's a whole section in the manual.
