its getting scary close to the originals, cant trust any amazon third party sellers, its insane how close to original they make the fakes look nowadays.
Best chance is to get it direct from amazon, eBay sellers that are actual dealers, actual dealer themselves, and other resources like discountpartsmonster that sell genuine only, as all theyre goods come from lexus of Florida.
Even then you get that what if someone returned fakes and you bought the fakes.
The real problem is the people who purchase the oem fake plugs, and air filters, they dont understand how superior the oem product is made and think they are getting the same at cheap prices, little do they know they are in for a real surprise, I have seen spark plugs explode, oil filter gaskets leak, basically ruining theyre engine over a $10 would be product.
Great info and it really takes expert to distinguish between fake and real anymore.
Also as FYI...looks like Pacific superceded the PMV-107J with the new PMV-C11A in case anyone is confused. Not sure if they just standardized across the 315Mhz line to make one SKU or what changed.

I registered the IDs, put them in an airtight container with a valve stem, pressurized it and they all popped up in techstream. The codes cleared, I cycled power on the car and they still showed up in techstream. problem solved.
I've attached comparison pictures, the biggest difference is the QR code and the other symbol in the middle. If you didn't know to look for separated individual dots on the QR code it would be very hard to tell without them side by side
Yes sir, just did that. I've noticed they take a long time to register any tire pressure change, or not at all while driving around. I also noticed with my old sensors once techstream detects them it clears the C2111-C2114 codes automatically. When the new sensors show data the codes will not clear. I ordered another set from summit who is listed as an authorized denso retailer so we'll find out if its user error or the sensors soon
I know your issue was having counterfeit sensors, but reading this helped me figure out how to fix my issue on my vehicle. Thank you! Here's the quick video of my resolution.
