I see lots of talks about buying new tpms and setting them up when buying new wheels.
Can someone help me understand what's needed after buying some wheels? Have only done so with 90s cars...
 
I’ve got a set of 8.5x18 wheels from a GT86 which I’m about to get powder coated satin gold or bronze for my Red GR86. I don’t know if they have the TPMS fitted but from what I’ve read they aren’t compatible with the GR anyway.

I don’t want to take the sensors out of the stock wheels but understand there is a button in the glove box so you can set up another set of sensors for spare or track wheels. I am likely to do this but haven’t found the correct sensors yet.

From reading the American forums you can run without the sensors and just ignore the warning light but would rather get some if they are not too much money however the ones listed here are in USA:

TPMS Sensor ID Programming -Anyone have any luck adding...

Has anyone had any luck adding a 2nd set of TPMS sensors to your car or changing the OE TPMS sensor IDs on your 2022 GR86/BRZ (for winter wheels/tires, track wheels/tires, etc.)? Autel says their TS508 TPMS tool doesn't yet support the 2022 GR86/BRZ (and I can confirm that—my tool has the...

I’m dropping my wheels off later this week so may ask the place if they know what the score is with buying generic ones and cloning or if Toyota ones are needed.

Great, please update here after you talk with them. I got some incoming wheels from japan and will like to know what needs to be done
 
Not sure if they will know exactly for the Toyota but I’d like to talk to anyone who has a clue on TPMS as like you the last time I bought a set of wheels they were probably from a Max Power magazine advert!
 
Commenting as I'd like to know too. Do want to change wheels at some point or even use 17" GT86 wheels with winters on. They don't have the sensors though
 
As someone who's a bit anal about tyre pressure, I'm looking forward to TPMS. Much nicer being able to check the pressure by a glance at the dashboard whenever I want instead of getting my hands dirty and losing the dust caps for the umpteenth time, especially at this time of year. If that means getting called a wuss on the Internet, so be it :p
 
For me it's only so I don't like having the light on the dash. I'm picky with pressures too and will be checking if the TPMS matches the gauge I have. I never initially bothered with a separate gauge but found my pump for the bike wasn't consistent and when I checked with the gauge was miles out. Now I can overfill, then fine tune with the gauge.

What's one of them? What does it do? Does it have bluetooth? I hope you take it off before you drive.

Wuss...

Careful, you'll be ridiculed for wanting a starter motor next. "I remember when I had to crank over my car with a handle."
 
If I put a second set of wheels on without TMPS and then put my original wheels back on later with TPMS do they need to be resynced to the car or should all be well?

I have Techstream anyway.

I am pretty sure that will work. You will probably need to drive a few miles for them to syc again.
 
Think you use the button in the glovebox to register a second set of TPMS sensors and then switch between them or something....I don't have a link to hand, but pretty sure it's in the manual somewhere.

Anyone got to hand what sensors and the procedure? Being Subaru I'm assuming Toyota sensors wouldn't be the same?

My research suggests that Subaru use Bartec TPMS. That's also the brand the tyre fitter I use fits so I have those fitted on my winter wheels. Apparently Bartec is widely used by tyre fitters.

He was able to read the codes from the OEM sensors, program the Bartec sensors with the same codes and they just worked after a couple of miles.

My local Toyota parts desk said they were £41.98 plus VAT. I'll phone my local fitter to see what he recommends too.

The four Bartec sensors I had fitted were £300 fitted. That included removal of the tyre, refitting and rebalance. That was more than I wanted to pay, but decided just to get them done.

The Bartec sensors come with two valve barrels, one rubber and one metal.

Got a link for those?
 
Could people also post name of the garages that coded their sensors please? the place I took mine to said they could do it but didn't managed it at the end. I was just desperate to get the new wheels on so they put the OEM tpms
