Autel MaxiTPMS TS501 PRO TPMS Programming Tool, Same as TS508, 2025 TPMS Relearn Tool Newer of TS501 TS408S, Activate Relearn 99% Sensors, Program Autel MX-Sensors [315/433MHz], TPMS Reset/Diagnosis

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I use Autel tools everyday, and purchased the Autel TPMS sensors. Went to a Couple of places to program sensors. Was more economical to purchase a new tool to replace my old one, worked fantastic.

Worked perfectly. Used it to register a full set of tires for a Toyota Tacoma including the spare using factory sensors. Truck recognized them right away and pressure registered after after like 1 mile of driving.

My original equipment tpms sensors on 2015 Toyota Tacoma were either dead or near dead, with warning light on. I replaced all 4 sensors with new oem sensors (different brand than what came with the truck). I used this tool and it showed that the new sensors were not compatible with what was originally installed, so i used the erase function to clear the old data off the truck's computer, then went through the reactivation process and uploaded the new sensor data, took the suggested test ride, and no warning light! Took all of 15 minutes to read the scant instructions and to perform the required tasks. The dealer wanted over $600 to replace sensors; I did it for half that cost considering the cost of this tool and four new sensors. I would have given this 5 stars but for the scant instructions which were not clear on how to reset my truck's computer by erasing the old data with this tool. I got lucky first time around and it worked.

Have a 2015 Honda Pilot with an intermittent TPMS light on. Had a shop reset the code, but it came back on and stayed on. Honda Dealer wanted several hundred dollars to diagnose and replace using Autel sensors. Bought this and 4 Autel MX sensors. First, scanned and diagnosed that the 10 year old OEM RF wheel sensor battery was low, triggering the warning light. I then programmed the new Autel sensors to the OEM sensor ID, very straightforward, and took all of about 2 minutes to do! Amazing. I decided to install the sensors myself, without removing the tire from the wheel, which requires breaking the bead on the tire. Lots of YouTube stuff out there how to do it, but my neighbor came over with his harbor freight tire mounting tool, and used it to break the tire bead. Took a bit of time, and honestly, I cant imagine using some of the ways suggested on YouTube, using a jack, etc. Breaking the bead is the hardest part of job. 1st tire took about 20 minutes to figure everything out. Second tire, took 45 minutes. Note to self, a second pair of hands to hold on to the sensor when removing the screw retaining cap off the old one, is helpful. Took 30 minutes to get the old sensor out of the tire. Doh! Tire 3 and 4 took less than 10 minutes each to dismount off the car, break the bead, install new sensor and reinflate! This Tool and the MX sensors saved me a lot of money over the dealer.

I had zero clues about TPMS sensors, but when the estimate to replace them in my wife's car was over $400, I decided to look into it for myself. I purchased this item based on reviews I found online. I also ordered sensor and went onto YouTube to get information on the process.So, starting from my ignorance, I changed the sensors. The problem started when I did not know what to do next. This device told me about the new sensors working, and it led me to the relearn. OK, I thought I was done. Well, I wasn't. (Here is where my cluelessness started.) I needed to put the ID's of the sensors into the car's ECU.I finally figured it out. So, for my first time event. This items was critical for me to get through it. I use it now to also check my tire pressures because it is easier than using a tire pressure gauge and also tells me how well the sensors work. Bravo!

This product is a piece of garbage. I bought it for a very simple task - to help my car re-learn the sensors installed on another set of wheels (winter set) that was previously installed on a different make/model car. My original sensors and the "new" sensors had the same frequency and I checked their cross-compatibility between both cars. So the issue is that you have to select the make/model of your car when you use the tool to test/ping the sensors and if you don't know from which car the "new" sensors come, you'll never make the tool "see" those "new" sensors. ONLY if you specifically tell it "these sensors are from BMW X4" will it "see" them. Further, even if you somehow manage to scan the "new" sensors and then attempt to write them into your car's OBD-2, it'll fail because you first have to select the car on which they will be installed next and if you change BMW (under which you scanned the "new" sensors) to, let's say, Honda (the car which the new wheels go on), this tool will lose all the scanned data and will prompt you to re-scan the sensors. Only this time, under Honda, the tool will not be able to see the very same sensors it just scanned under BMW. So there is no way to program the sensor data you read from BMW wheels to your Honda car where you intended to install them. Also, the tool filed 3 times to activate my car's re-learn mode, even while being connected to the car's OBD-2 port. One word - garbage. Stay away.
