Can anyone assist with activating the TPMS sensors for a second set of wheels? It's for a 2010 Lexus IS250 AWD with 20" Vellano wheels. And does anyone know how to upload photos on this website, I've tried several times and had an error message every time. Thanks.

If you mean they were already programmed, but aren't registering, you can switch between set 1 and set 2 using the multi switch (the thing that looks like <0> to the lower left of the steering wheel)

The dealership is correct they do have to pull the tire off the wheel. I was charged $80 to have a second set programed and new tires mounted and balanced.

Yeah, depends on the equipment they have.
Older ones just programmed- you had to have the serial #s in front of you to add them.
newer ones can read the sensors when mounted to get the serial numbers.
As to cost, yeah, I'd expect 20-40 bucks at a tire place... at any dealer probably more like $55-110 depending if you hit you for 1/2 or 1 hour of labor.... and those are assuming you have the serial #s written down, or they have a newer device that can read them off the sensors while mounted.

I just got my second set programmed at discount tire. No need to take off anything or need for any numbers if they have the right tool which most likely all of them do now. Plus the guy was nice and did it for free
