TPMS sensors not self programming. Any tool recommended.

I guess I got lucky and they just worked. one thing you can do is suck it and let them program it once. I believe what happens is that the sensors go to "sleep" if they're not matched to a car soon enough after production and just requires a "wakeup" call by the programming device.

If you're lucky enough (as I was) to have a set of sensors that were "awake", then it truly is no programming required and the car will recognize it right away. It shouldn't require programming every time either. It should be a one-and-done deal and next time you put the wheels on, it will recognize it again.

Do you have a part number for the sensors? The car is also particular about the sensor itself and not all 415 MHz frequencies will work. There's a chance that your dealer sold you the wrong set as well.
