Can’t program TPMS

Recently had new wheels and tires installed and decided to go with aftermarket Autel TPMS. From my own research it seems like I need to buy an Autel tool to sync the sensors. Anyone have any input. Don’t want to be buying 3 or more scanners to get it done.

As long as they are compatible 433 HZ, I think, they should sync up on their own after driving for a few miles. I have two sets of wheels and they always sync up after a swap.

As Key08 says, mine re-sync automatically when I swap wheels and takes up to 30 minutes of driving. Just buy an OE compatible set that doesn't require programming like these: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-0009050030

Yep, you bought the wrong sensor. This dual sensor needs programming and it says so right in the description. Sorry

There is no programming on MB sensors.
This system has directional antennas who will read sensor placement on the car.
New sensors can take over 10 miles of driving to be recognized, but if your car is not reading them after, you have wrong sensors.
This is the best deal I found and the sensor works on my Sprinter.
The seller is pretty knowledgeable person and will answer the questions if in doubt.
