Waste of money and time

This product is a piece of junk. I bought it for a very simple task - to help my car relearn the sensors installed on a different wheel set (winter set) that was previously installed on a different make/model of car. My original sensors and "new" sensors had the same frequency and I checked their compatibility between the two cars. So the problem is that you have to select your car's make/model when using the sensor check/ping tool, and if you don't know which car the 'new' sensors are from, you will never make the tool " see " these "new" sensors. ONLY if you tell him explicitly that "these sensors are from the BMW X4" will he "see" them. Even if you somehow manage to scan the "new" sensors and then try to write them to your car's OBD-2, it will not succeed, because you must first select the car in which they are used as to be installed next, and if you change the BMW (under which you scanned the "new" sensors) to, for example, Honda (the car with new wheels), this tool will lose all the scanned data and offer to start the sensors again to scan. Only this time, on Honda, the tool won't be able to see the same sensors it just scanned on BMW. So it is not possible to program the sensor data read from BMW wheels onto your Honda where you wanted to install it. In addition, the tool applied three times to enable my car's relearn mode even when it was connected to the car's OBD-2 port. One word - garbage. Stay away.
