First off I want to apologize for being so negative on the results you guys have found.

I have been playing around with the TPMS sensors for a while now and found that the Bartec was the the easiest tool to work with. This includes ease of use and efficiency. The tool also stores your sensor numbers.


Lastly, I do not work for Bartec. I just work at a shop where we have spent A LOT of money finding the best tool.


(In a perfect world) You guys can all get together and pitch in some money, buy the tool, and pass it around like a cheap *****.


But we all know some douche will screw it up by not sending it to the next person.

 

any updates on this

 

At this point, it's a race between this DIY tool to reprogram the ECU with new sensors every tire/season change, OR the programmable sensors from ez-sensors, which lets you program the 4 new sensors to be the same ID codes as your first 4 stock sensors. There-by eliminating the need to reprogram every season change.

Which ever comes out first will gets my business. Currently my stock rims are my winter set now. I'll be purchasing new rims for my summer tires come spring. Hopefully by then one of these 2 will be available on the market.

 

Sounds like another sweet feature to add to the AccessPort. COBB are you listening out there?!

 

sounds good if they're not too expensive. I've already paid for and installed a second set of sensors so i'll be waiting for the quickset, but for people who haven't bought anything yet this might be a good option pending reasonable pricing

 

i've emailed russ fuller and jim chen twice asking if there was any info on the quickset and neither of them have replied, weak

 

update? It's Feb-14. Any word?

 

nope, no word yet, even the local costco hasn't got the update yet.

 

this is just incredible how come the normal lancer has backup and not the evo i dont get it i just hope they find a solution quick!

 

Taken from another thread on these boards:

 

so still no tool yet?

 

well, the tool looks like it's a major let down. It doesn't look like they are planning any Mitsubishi Support. On the bright side, the local Costco guy said they received an e-mail last week saying they need to update ASAP and the software will be sent to them. He suggested I check with them once a week and is most likely to arrive this month. keeping my fingers crossed. Costco reprogram will be free, so no need of the pointless tool itself. waste of money at this point.

 

that thats a bummer. oh well.

 

i must have missed one of your earlier posts, but why would costco flash your TPMS system for free? Do you mean you went to them for tire mounting, and they will flash it at the same time? Or are you saying you went to them at some point, and then bring them the receipt at a later time and they will flash it for you?

The ateq has mitsu support, just not for the lancer. They picked some random models that nobody gives a crap about and added those to their list. They used to respond to emails, and answer questions, but not anymore (not to me at least lol).

Subject: Question about TPMS quickset tool



Hi, I drive a 2008 mitsubishi lancer and was wondering if this tool will work for me to reprogram my TPMS system. If not, will it work in the future?

Thank you,
Arthur
