I have a 2003 SC430. I bought a cable and software from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-VCI-16...72.m2749.l2649
Here are my key takeaways: First, turn off your virus protection and firewall! Then, install the software and driver according to the instructional video on the DVD (or on Youtube). You can then connect to the vehicle and run your tests, etc. Never have the virus protection/firewall running at the same time as the software!
I use an old throwaway laptop running Windows XP Professional.

I learned my lesson and when one goes on my 2007, I will change them all at once!
the 2007 sensors don’t cost as much and are not color coded.

I guess I will find out when they get here but I just ordered all four of the 2006 TPMS sensors from mylparts.com and I did it over the phone. I asked the guy if there was anything else I needed to install them. He indicated I needed a kit of sorts that was about $7 each and I declined. These are the Toyota parts not the Denso. I guess I will find out Thursday or Friday if the kit I ordered comes with everything or the guy just didn't know what he was talking about.

I just got my four TPMS sensors. These are the ones that have color designations for an 06. They do in fact have everything that is necessary to mount them to the rim. No kit needed. Now the problem I do have. I went out to the car to check the Techstream software that I have used successfully in the past and it will not connect to the car. I have no idea why. Same computer same car.

You should look into the Autel dual frequency sensors they work on either 315MHZ or 433 Mhz
programming is either with their tool or tech stream the same as an OEM sensor. You can get 4 with metal or rubber stems for about $125 shipped. I use these every day in my shop and they work on all cars. The stems are quick release/ Just push a button and switch them over. I installed 4 in my 13 Rx and 4 in my sc as a tester before we started using them. Autel donated me a few dozens when they first came out so we could see how they work. A year later I will say they are great and have made a big cost acceptable.
Like everything they are on Amazon

The listing says you need the autel programmer to program them. Though I have an Autel code reader, I don't have the programming feature. Can you give us a brief overview on how you would do it in techstream?

Are these the ones you are talking about?
