Anyone had a luck re-programming TPMS with ATEQ VT-55?

Did anyone have luck with this?

http://www.tpms-tool.com/TPMS-tool-ATEQVT55-ODBII.php

They list Lancer as a supported vehicle, and I can find this device for $530. Granted, it's more expensive than having the dealer re-program the car, but I could do it as often as I'd like (i.e. before every track day when I switch to a dedicated set of track wheels with their own TPMS sensors).

The best solution for those of us that have or want to have 2+ sets of wheels is to have programmable sensors from orange that clone the original sensors' IDs, but looks like they will never ever support our car.

Himm actually $530 is only for the tool. You need the programmer tool as well to update the car, which is another $600; so you when searching for ATEQ Vt55 at Froogle.com, you need to look for the kit ($1200), not just the tool

Not that anyone besides me is interested, it appears ATEQ is not compatible:

Dear Özer,

We apologize for the confusing. Currently, the VT55 is able to “read” the sensor of Mitsubishi Lancer.
We are still in process of developing the software to communicate to ECU of Mitsubishi Lancer.

Please feel free to let us know if there’s any question. Thanks again for your interest in ATEQ TPMS products.

Best regards,

I found out that sens.it is compatible with the Lancers and it appears to be a much cheaper solution. I am trying to get it confirmed from them:

I don't feel like registering for pricing information. Mind telling us how much it is?

They have a few different kits so I'm not sure how much the kit that works for us would cost. I sent them an e-mail, so I'll probably know on Monday.

Somebody one here was running the orange sensors. I thought it was that black Eco from Australia.
