Using a TIPS tool to register tire sensors

[mrmontebuilder]

Have you used this in conjunction with any type of scan tool with any other make/model vehicle?? I am trying to figure out what to buy to do reprogramming and diagnostic work on TPMS systems without breaking the bank. I have a Genisys running system 3.0 with software for Asian/Domestic and ABS/Airbag in the 2008 versions. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi Tom - I sent you a message with my email address. I've got several of the TIPS tools available - 2 new and one used. Email if you're interested. Bob

cool

what about the spare

I guess all shops will need one soon

Well....the Corvette doesn't have a spare - it's got "runflat" tires that can be driven up to 100 miles with no pressure. All new cars starting with 2008 model year will need to have a Tire Pressure Monitor System, so all shops will need one of these tools.
