Hey all:
I recently put on aftermarket rims on my GS with TPS. The thing is they are not programmed and now the light is on. Now is there any way to get this thing programmed without going to lexus cause these guys wanna charge like an hour tech service to do it. And on principle I dont wanna go that route... I told them if they wanna rob me to at least put a mask on and use a gun so the role playing can be more fun.....Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

No other way to do it unfortunately. You have to get it programmed at the dealer since they have the techstream software and machine that will recognize the TPMS address without removing the tire and getting the codes from each one individually. Just pay once and you are done. I rather get it done properly since if I was to pay a lot of money for new rims and TPMS I would know about this beforehand.

I'm going with the F Sport wheels, and the dealer will just move the sensors from the factory wheels to the F Sports.

if you are putting the original tpms from your factory wheels to the new aftermarket wheels, then no you don't need any reprogramming.
but the way i read your first post it seems like you have new different tpms. if so, you need to program them again.
otherwise, it doesn't make sense the light is on (unless low pressure)

Not only did I leave a word out, I also should have gone with the word "oem" in place of "factory".
Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you!

Are the sensors on the GS location specific? I'm assuming that they ARE since the car can display all 4 tire pressures. My last car was NOT location specific so the sensors on that car can be mixed up when moved from corner to corner (as when getting new wheels).
If they are location specific on the GS ... be sure to re-install them at the same corner of the car they were removed from.
