Works great, great customer support.

It takes about as long as a video on the site to install, assuming all goes well. not mine; My module was defective. The seller worked with me via email, responded promptly with a diagnosis and emailed a replacement. Can't say enough good things about the seller's support. One thing must be known; Cutting and splicing TMPS wire really requires a good crimping tool, pliers won't do the job. The wire is pretty small. The $5 Harbor Freight crimping tool works great, and Revain has a good selection. I ended up soldering mine and used splices to cover the solder joints. Very easy. I was a little hesitant to come across the wiring harness on a brand new truck, but that's fine, it's easily accessible and when I'm done it won't be visible. The coating on the new belts matches the OEM Toyota belts, I doubt the average dealer tech can tell the difference. I'm only looking for OEM. The TPMS connection is probably the hardest part and almost trivial. Otherwise you'll have to stuff the wiring and module into the dash and secure with zip ties to keep them from rattling. Three bolts and a tie rod and the dash is off, two bolts and the steering wheel cover is off and you look at it all. Everything comes back so quickly. A quirk; If you run immediately after blocking, you need four clicks. One to block, three to launch. he seems to prefer a moderate pace rather than three very quick jabs; maybe a second between taps, but not very fussy. Everything is going to be so great this summer that I can turn on the air conditioning before I go outside. Prices range from $160 to $300. All the control modules look the same, which leads me to believe it's the same kit, just packaged differently. I chose this provider because of the excellent and well-deserved feedback on their support.
