A tpms solution proven to work
I'm an idiot. Yes, many tools can read the codes/IDs. It's the downloading of codes to the ECU that seems to require a Mitsu tool. I would think that most tire places can get you the codes.
(Probably not thinking clearly today ... something about the death whine can rattle your brain....)

So what's the total cost of this programming tool and the sensors.
I'm looking to pick this up for our car club.
Or is there a chance we could use yor tool to program a bunch of cars?
Thanks pal.

I just got my sens-it systen the other day and i am having an issue. My tpms id's are 9 numbers instead of 8(2010 SE). The programming app only lets me input 8 numbers so the last number is left off . I had them read twice and they indeed come up as 9 numbers ( ex. 211033199) . Any thought as to why mine wont work would be welcome. they are closed for the weekend and staring at new wheels makes me a little impatient
Those aren't the IDs. The IDs for all Evo Xs that I've seen have been 8 digits in hexidecimal. For examples, see: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...vo-x-tpms.html
Use this to convert to HEX inputting your number in the decimal box -

211033199 turns into C941C6F

HA! That last post is for sure right. I was here about to flame Sam's Club because the RFID scan they gave me didn't work and required N.G.S. to program twice and I had to find a shop that could read it Hexidecimal. Go Figure! Good find NGS!
So anyway, Firestone was able to get my Hexidec, and Sams only Dec, but I just tried converting all of the decimals that Sam's Club gave me and they converted exactly to the correct (and now working!!) hexidecimal numbers!
Who knew...? *ugh* Its all set now! Highly recommend this approach. Now I won't have to pay anyone to touch my TPMS (unless a sensor ever goes bad, knock on wood).

it sucks that someone just posted in the other forum that the numbers could be converted - you would think that a tire shop would know this.
I'm glad the sensors worked out for you.

well, I converted mine from decimal to hex using a converter and programmed. When we read with a bartec 400 the code was the same as what was read for the oem tpms(in decimal format)
. I only have about 12 miles on them so hopefully I will know for sure later if they work.
Part of the issue is the lack of experience using the tools........ Quickly go into any Bartec or Ateq tool settings and you will see that you you can read the sensors either way. Some guys just don't want to take the extra time.
Dumb question: have any of you found that one of your four sensors has an ID that is very different from the other three? We read mine twice and three have very similar IDs and the fourth is very different, as in off by 2000 from the others.

I know we discussed this via Email but I'll post up my answer here in case someone else has this issue -
"
All the sensors I have programmed have been pretty similar between the 4 units as well as overall between all of them. I did get one set that made no sense at all when compared to all the other units I programmed but they worked perfectly. Like you said it's random - perhaps there were three left in the box and they had to grab from a different batch. Who knows?"
I don't see why it wouldn't worl on Rallyart's as well as on any base Lancer. it should work for any of Mitsu's models. Shoot me your VIN via PM and I will check.

I am very interested in getting a set of 4 of these programmed if anyone is still offering this service. I am in CO but would be willing to buy sensors and ship to someone with a programmer or buy from someone who has extra sensors. I have a 2010 MR so it sounds like this will work. Give me a PM and let me know. Thanks.

If you buy them from Myers they will run you about $260 shipped to you (not programmed). I can send you a set of 4 for $249 this includes programmed sensors, the valve stems & shipping to you. Insurance and PP fees are like $4 more.
