    Other brands of TPMS sensors are somewhat a lot easier to use too other common tools that are used in the industry can strike up a relearn with a u t e l sensors without issue I got this little $25 tool made by I'm not even sure who that will do the relearn feature with almost anything it can communicate with IE on the same megahertz or gigahertz scale of the sensors. Like Toyota software can't do that You have to manually input numbers and all of that unless the new version of tech can now do this whereas the TPMS sensor manufacturers that make their own tools that work with other sensors and do all that TPMS stuff this little $25 tool can strike up a relearn with those because the relearn feature is built into the TPMS sensor whereas I guess the ones in the Toyota don't have that feature they're dumber or something
