I am purchasing a new set of wheels and tires for my 350 and need some help with the sensors. I will be purchasing a second set of sensors and putting them in a small wheelbarrow type tire in the trunk as described elsewhere in this site since they won't work with my new wheels. I want to keep my stock setup intact so I won't be using the original sensors for this.
My question is, will I have to have my Lexus dealer program the new serial numbers into my car or will I be able to do that myself?
If the dealer has to do it, do you think they will have a problem with this or should I not tell them about my small tire in the trunk and just tell them that the sensors are already mounted inside the new wheels and tires?
Thanks!

I don't think it is necessary to try to deceive the dealership. If you pay them, I'm pretty sure they'll do whatever you ask as long as it's legal and safe. Where are you planning to get your second set from?
Not sure about the programming....

Not sure where I am going to purchase them from yet, I need to do some shopping to see where I will get raped the least.

The New sensors do have to be programed into the system. Have the do it before you do your wheelbarrow trick. Your light will go off until the sensors are under the correct pressure. Just explain to the dealer you are on your way to have the new wheels installed. You want to activate the new sensors now.

I am still considering breaking down my current wheels and tires and using the original pressure sensors but I think it would be more difficult to sell the wheels and tires indivually than it would as a set with the sensors installed.
