Default How to read TPMS values on a 2007 RX350?

Hi, I hope all is well.
Very stupid question: Is there any bluetooth OBD2 scanner that is capable of reading the PSI from each tire? I just bought a OBDLink MX+, I see the option for the TPMS network but it doesn't read the individual tire values. I even bought a different app (Car Scanner Pro) and also can't get the PSI values.

I haven't been able to identify what I am doing wrong, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

My Bluedriver won't display TPMS for this generation of RX, either.
Techstream would be my suggestion, but it can be difficult to find an OBD/USB cord that actually works. Lots of fakes out there.

Thank you so much for the help! I think this application is Windows only but will definitely give it a try. Thanks!!

btw, Techstream will show the PSI for each TPMS, but it won't tell which wheel it is. You'll have to get creative and figure out which PSI reading is which wheel.

I think Autel makes TPMS sensors that you could read by holding the separate Autel device near each wheel, if you want to spend a few hundred $$.

There really is no way of doing it easily, as in you get in your car every day and just want to read the values.

As others have said, you can find a dongle you can go from obd ii to laptop running techstream and get the values. but at that point just measuring pressure on each tire is easier IMO.

Yup. Agreed.
I am almost considering getting those weird USB external TPMS sensors and plug into my head unit. Might be the easier this way.

Thank you!
