TrusTyres just south of Dorking. You need to call to make an appointment as its a one man operation.
Edit. And if you are visiting to fit TPMS, arrange that on the call so they have stock!

Noticed this as I'm looking how I program new sensors for new wheels. They aren't much money from Toyota. Pressures though here are in PSI!

Anyone know what happens with the TPMS if you rotate your wheels? For all of you charming comedians ( 
) out there I mean swap the wheels left to right and / or front to back. Is each sensor assigned to a specific wheel arch or just the car? can this just be relearned by the car if i use the TPMS button in the glovebox?

Would like to know the answer to this too. I assumed it would have to be coded, but I didn't know if the car was clever enough to work it out on signal strength or something.Anyone know what happens with the TPMS if you rotate your wheels? For all of you charming comedians (

Having a nightmare getting my TPMS programmed. Took the wheels with the car to get the sensors cloned. They're saying the wheels need to be on the car to do it but I don't have the spigot rings with me. I thought they could just use the programmer to clone them while off the car. What a ball-ache.
Update: they've done it on the lift and put the stock wheels back on.
Little advise for anyone else doing this. Have everything with you for them to fit the wheels. I thought it would be simple for them to just clone the sensors but they wanted to test them on the car which is understandable.
I had a look at the car with the new wheels and wheel nuts and they look great.

New wheels are imminent. I have the OEM sensors from Toyota ready to go but I'm not confident they'll know what the score is. There is a Subaru dealer in my village. Wonder if they could do it. Swift is in for MOT across the road so will ask later.

Does anyone have the Toyota part No for the TPMS?
I got new rims last spring with non-original TPMS, and had a workshop mount them and code the TPMS. They work as intended, but then when I mounted my original wheels with my winter tires this winter I found that they had overritten the original sensors as they didn't work anymore.
I now have my car in for it's second service (30.000 km) at Toyota and they claim that Toyota's TPMS are "stupid" and that if they code the OEM sensors now, my summer-rims wont work when I mount them in the spring.
I tried to argue that I know that the car can store a second set and asked if they could try, and see if they could store these OEM TPMS in the second slot, but to no avail
I ended up just telling them to ignore the TPMS error then.
Since I had the same response from the workshop who installed my non-original TPMS when I called them, I think I have to code them myself. Does anyone have any experience doing this, including what reader/tool they used?

Despite the user manual declaring that two sets can be stored in the ECU, I had the same problem when swapping between wheel sets. In the end I bought myself an Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF (link for information only). I got the Autel programming tool from an online retailer for £150 during a seasonal sale, but there are plenty of similar units around and they even sell them on AliExpress. The process of re-programming involves scanning each TPMS' data into the tool, connecting it to the car via OBD and pushing the data up to the ECU. Once stored in the ECU you can carry out the car's update process using the button in the glovebox, and because the TPMS are now 'registered' within the ECU they'll appear on the dashboard quite quickly. The whole process is repeated when the wheels are swapped again.

Thank you - I will try to look into that!
Mr tyre fitter read the IDs from the OEM sensors using his programming gadget and then programmed a second set of sensors using the same IDs. Means I can swap the wheels over and all I do is press the dash button.
The only issue is that the car can pick up the wheels which are not on the car if you park close to where they are stored!
I actually have a positive live update:
Another technician came up to me and said that I might have been mislead a bit by his colleague, and that he will try and code in the winter set as a second set of wheels.
Let's see if it works
Update:
It might be a success. They believe both sets are now stored but we can obviously only se that the winter wheels now work again, but hopefully I can now switch to the summer set with the button in the glovebox.

I got a set of autel mx sensors and using the autel tool it was easy to scan the oe sensors on the car, then copy the codes onto the new sensors back in the house. New sensors (now cloned) were fitted to new winter wheels with new tyres the following day, and the car picked the sensors up within 10 minutes.

Pre coded? please let me know how you get on, if i can skip the coding/setup and just take em down to a local tyre shop that would be a big headache solved. I haven't had tpms since I got my new wheels and sold the stock set. With the first mot creeping in they might be a good option.

Will do. I fully expect the car not picking them up mind.
