Autel TPMS Sensor MX-Sensor 2 in 1 (Press-in), Programmable TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor 315MHz+433MHz, 100% Clone-able, Same as OE-sensors (Metal Valve Set of 4)

Cloned my 1st set by programming the same codes onto this new Autel set.... works seamlessly on the car!

First off, these are expensive. As just TPMS sensors, too expensive, about twice the cost of basic sensors. That said, these fit a fairly specific niche and they're the only way I've found to do what they do.Specifically, with the matching Autel tool (yes, it does have to be an Autel tool and Autel sensors), you can read the ID's of your existing sensors, and "clone" them onto these sensors. If you're like me, and have summer and snow tires, and have them mounted on two sets of wheels, you can have cloned TPMS sensors, so you can swap your tires without having to reprogram your car every time.Alternately, if for whatever reason you need to replace a sensor but can't reprogram the car, these will allow you to clone that sensor instead.It's a nice feature, for a small market niche, but I'm glad they exist.They programmed easily using a TS408 tool in my case, pulled the sensor ID's from the set the car "knows", programmed that onto the new set, and my car is happy again with no TPMS warnings.

Ordered this and the USB programmer. Programmer worked well. Wanted to change the bad one first to prove to me that it worked. Problem was that it was difficult to determine which sensor was bad. Not the fault of the equipment, but just an observation. Because the sensor was dead, the programmer picked up the other sensors. Needed to change two out before I got to the one that was bad. On the next car, I figured out to take a reading, then reduce the air pressure and take another reading to see if it corresponded to the reduced air pressure. As I moved around the car, I reduced the pressure to different levels to ensure I knew which tire was which. Then I got a reading that I couldn't ID....it was the spare. This time, I got the bad sensor in one try. Now that I know it works, I'll change out the rest.The sensors I received were missing the torque pin. I emailed customer service and the next day, they sent some to me in the mail. When you are installing these, make sure you have a torque wrench that can meter to 4 N-m or 3 ft-lbs.

I put these on a 2005 E55 AMG. Pretty straightforward to install if you have the right tools to do it. The really nice thing about these is that they can be used for 433 MHz and 315 MHz cars. I programmed them to be 315 MHz and my car seems to be able to read them OK. I will see how long these last. I put Mobiletron ones on my other car and they worked initially but now they do not work. They take a long time to wake up. These Autel ones seem to wake up pretty quickly so we will see. Programming is not super intuitive with the TS401 but works OK.I think people reporting DOAs don't realize that these need the Autel programmer to program and activate. I tried just reading them before programming just as a test and they would not react at all. It would be good if Autel put clear warnings every where they could that these need to be programmed first. Hope they last. I will report back if they do not.

Installed these on our 2007 Camry Hybrid. Last set of Autel MX sensors lasted 5 years (version with screw photo attached). It took me awhile to program these newer ones on my TS601 despite “saving” the codes last time. Process is not intuitive on software despite firmware updates for those that don’t do this as a job. In fact they don’t even list 2007 Camry Hybrids anymore since one of the updates to the TS601. I use these for my Highlander Hybrid as well.

I was able to program the sensors right out of the box! Two of the OEM sensors were bad since they were 15 years old. I downloaded the HEX ID #s for the original sensors using the AUTEL TS508WF tool and programmed the new sensors. It took 5 minutes. I took the new sensors to the tire shop and they replaced the original sensors for $20. I will use the AUTEL tool and new sensors when it's time to replace the OEM sensors on my other vehicles. The dealership wanted to charge more than $500 to replace the sensors. I would highly recommend the tool and sensors. The TPMS light was gone within 5 minutes.

its probably a good product, but since I didn't know I had to have there scan tool to program them, that sucked, so I wasted my money

The work perfectly, before to buy them, make sure your mechanic/car_shop has the machine to either configure or sync them.
