Default Anyone DYI TPMS sensor programming

Curious if anyone has bought and used the TPMS sensor programmers that are sold to the general public? Is there one that works for Lexus?

The ones I have seen aren't that expensive and would be more convenient that having to drive 30-60 minutes to a Lexus dealership to have them reprogram them (I assume they charge you as well).

Carista stated they were developing TPMS programming capability but this was many months back and I am starting to lose faith in their delivery of this feature:

And yes, Lexus will charge you for the programming every time.

Lexus will, but a good tire retailer like Discount Tire won't.

hmmmm...looks like my new Denso TPMS sensors are pre-programmed and possibly self learning so they should theoretically sync up properly on their own once wheels are installed on the car. Hope this is the case so it saves me a some time and money...we'll see

DENSO First Time Fit TPMS sensor. Unlike one-size-fits-all sensors, DENSO has developed sensors that never need to be programmed or cloned before installation – they’re built to the specified vehicle right out of the box. With DENSO, installation is a snap — our TPMS Sensors relearn just like an OE part, restoring the vehicle to its original condition.
