Almost paid for itself after the first use!

I have a 2014 GMC Acadia and during a state inspection I had them swap tires. The workshop did not have the necessary tool for resetting the tire position (TPMS). So after my usual inspection I pulled the trigger on this TS508 (maxi). Run home! Switching was pretty easy. The device is well made, the case and all the parts that come with it are professional. Caliber. If I need to replace tires with new ones in the future, I will buy MX TPM sensors. I will inst a tire Pro built them in instead of using the existing ones as the battery in the sensors could fail every day after 5 years. My wife has a 2018 Nissan Murano and was able to talk to the Murano's sensors so I could read all the sensor information. Here's a sweet bonus. So you need to add air to one or more tires. You have a pencil gauge or a round analog gauge. They let air in and then checked the air but it was below the level when you checked. "Wash, rinse, repeat!” With this TS508, I over-inflate the tire (about 5 lbs or so), then get the pressure info, then all I have to do is deflate, get another reading (it's quick), and do this for so long , until the pressure is exactly where you want it. , Up to 1/10th of a pound! I never need to add air again. I had to read the press. at 508 ok. 2-4Γ—. back to e. of 4 tires to see if the pressure is holding and all readings. This is the best way to check your pressure, like a DIC in a car, it only tells you pound by pound, not 1/10th of a pound. Also, I checked the cost of the pro fees to install their 4 new tpms sensors. as well as the necessary programming. $0 400. For GMC Acadia. Over $800. For Nissan Murano! Ouch! I'm guessing you could buy a $20 tool that would activate the sensor just for the purpose of relearning, but I find it very useful to be able to run any TPMS service you want. Relearn, reprogram, retrieve information at any time. reads the bus; Pressure, Temperature, Sensor ID and Battery "OK". I wish it actually said "Battery, LEVEL". Maybe in a future update, or maybe the Autel Mx sensors already do. Have fun driving!

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
