Programming TPMS @ Toyota ?

Programming TPMS @ Toyota ?
Have a question....I need to program my 2nd set. I figured since, Lexus and Toyota are so close, do you think I can just go to Toyota to get my sensors programmed? or will they send me to Lexus? If anyone done this, how much was it ?

Just make sure to take your own sensors with you vs buying them at the Toyota parts counter. The Lexus TPMS units have one less digit than on Toyota sensors.
I learned this the hard way (in reverse) by putting Lexus GX sensors on my Tundra... even though the Lexus parts are branded Toyota, they aren't the same.

* Update *
So, Toyota charged me $200 for this job.
And at the end the tech told me, that I will have a tire pressure indicator on my dash. But its ok he said, when I install the sensors and fill the tires with air the lights will go away? WTF?
I have my TPMS switch still on Main, so it should still detect my current TPMS that are on my car right now, not the 2nd set that he programmed ? He gave me some print outs, and I can see that the sensors I bought are registered as 2nd.
I was too tired to argue.... But I think I will have to drive there again.

your tpms were already installed on your wheels before programming?
did you have to give the serial numbers on all 4 sensors?
so you still have the warning light after you registered 2nd now?
have you tried changing the tpms switch?

These are great tires
Nope, they were not installed. I just gave them the sensors and told them to program them as a 2nd set. My main TPMS set is on my summer tires that I have on right now. Toyota tech did just that, programmed the 2nd set and gave me the print outs. From the print outs I can see that I have these TPMS registered as a 2nd set. However, on the dash I have the tire pressure light and a "System Check" error. I have tried switching between 2nd and Main using the switch, that did not work. The reset button does not respond (re-initialization of TPMS)
