I will be buying a pair of cloned sensors from you, NGS, in the spring =)

 

I know some of you have asked for black valve stems - I am getting a bunch of these in a couple of days!

 

Are you sure Discount Tire used the correct 315 MHz version and not 433 MHz? Just wondering because the EZ-Sensor Application Guide shows the Lancer as being covered.

Interesting as I nearly **** my pants tonight about this.

I had the local discount tire install oem Siemens sensors. Kid got the codes from the new oem sensors and as he plugged into the ecu my car shut off but could hear the fan still running. After reading numerous threads about failed uploading onto the ecu but the fan was still running I was so sure he might have bricked it. He himself was shocked the engine shut off. Told him to just leave it but luckily my car still started.

My question now is, since I have oem sensors is the dealership my only hope?

Oh and btw, prior to demanding they install oem sensors they installed that EZ sensor with the 315 MHz and that didn't work as well.

 

The paper work shows the 315Mhz sensor I have readouts from the reader. I also had two Discount tire shops checking the work. One local for original clone and install and one located near the dealer. The second shop near the dealer was more knowledgeable, I worked with them prior and post trip to dealer (same day), and they also talked with the sensor manufacturer.

After they put my tires back to how I brought them in and refunded my money the tech mentioned maybe the installer didn't tighten something enough to make some connection work as an antenna. To be honest I didn't pay much attention I was pretty tired of the hassle by then.

 

Sounds good, thanks for the info. Looks like N.G.S. will be getting lots of business.

 

N.G.S., I just sent you a PM about getting some TPMS sensors

I just wanted to share some info for people in Northern NJ / NYC area. I called the two Mitsu dealerships in the area, Route 46 and Paramus, who asked for $120-130 just to read the codes off my TPMS sensors. Ridonculous.

Then I called around all the Firestones in Bergen and Passaic counties, and found that only the Hackensack Firestone can do it for my 2010 Evo X for $30. Had to make an appointment with their guy, Dave, for 9AM today, since they are very busy. Dave got the codes for me in 30 min, and told me that other Firestones can actually read the Evo X TPMS codes, they just do not know how.

Turns out, their tools say they need an update that is coming soon to read the Evo X TPMS codes, but Dave said that if you just skip that screen and hit next, the tool will read the codes off our cars anyway. So if you run into someone who says they can't read the Evo X codes yet, ask if they can just skip that screen and try anyway.

 

If you need sensors read and are in the NYC area i have a guy in Yonkers, NY. He has read tons of sensors for me and only charges $20 to do so. A plus is that he is only about 4 miles from me. You can go get your codes read then drop by my place to get the sensors programmed and be done with it.

Got the PM!

 

My TPMS warning is off.

Thanks N.G.S.

 

Another TPMS warning light bites the dust!

Tpms light disable!

Good to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Received them on time, had them installed on a set of enkei+winter tires, went on a 800 mile road trip this week, no TPMS warnings

 

Same here ez sensors at discount tire did not work.

 

Just had my winters mounted at NTB. They told me they couldn't read the sensors. It was as if they were playing dumb. They seemed to have no idea what I was talking about.

 

They might not be "playing" dumb. Given that so many simple tools can read 315 MHz sensors, it might not be an act. Go somewhere else. Be very clear: say that you want the codes read. You don't want anything reprogrammed. You just want the codes read.

 

I went to Discount tire to have my codes read, they didn't charge me anything even though they tried to sell me their own sensors. N.G.S programmed a set for me and they work, thanks!
