Has anyone ever used these mx sensors in their Lexus vehicles and if so how long did they last ??

Striker223

No idea, they seem to make good products though so might be worth a try?

Gerf

I'm going to order some today and give it a shot, I bought the tool just to chk out the wurth sensors the dealer put in my winter tire setup that never worked...they were cloned I was told. according to the tool 2 are ok 1 is a copy and the other 2 don't respond.

The 1 that is a copy is the spare and it's never been mounted as far as I can see, haven't got a clue what they did.

I am not sure, I have their TMPS tool and it works quite well so I assume the sensors they sell are similarly good. I opted for OEM on my car though just because I was uncertain

I have couple of those on my winter set. 0.2psi discrepancy otherwise decent product. But unneeded really cos ali 'oem' sensor sets for beans.

Gerf

Sorry man but my English english is lacking, are you taking the **** or something?

If that means oem are cheap that aint true here, bout $100 each with stem kit.

Boykie

ali... Ali... ALI

"You can be a honky, but still be hung like a donkey". No, really, aliex sets, love em. 50us for 4 oem-looking working things. Can't beat that (and I tried with autel mx. pad is useful in shop, sensors are ok but annoying measurement discrepancy)

Gerf

ya, I don't care if they aren't accurate as long as the light and the blank display lines --------- go away.

Striker223

Oh if that's all you want then yes, Aliexpress for the win

Boykie

Oh yea lines will go. Take care when assembling stem to sensor body, had leak once, had to redo wheel.

Is there a way to make it only sense 4 wheels instead of 5? Coz I use directional tires, there’s no point to put a spare in the trunk unless someone has a solution for that what spare to get for Michelin cross climate.

Gerf

Yes, you can just skip the spare by manually moving the highlighted wheel to the left rear. It automatically starts at the left front/ right front/right rear/ spare(skip) move selection to left rear and your done.
I'm not sure if your car needs to see a spare for the system to work properly though, haven't tried that yet. You could just use your original spare I suppose because the tool doesnt know or care if it's a directional tire or not.

Striker223

You can't avoid having 5, you can however equip the spare with something non-directional so you can put it on in place of any of the main tires if needed.
