I've searched other threads, you tube etc.. but can't find a definitive answer.
Long story short, I purchased a set of winter wheels/tires from a Canadian big box store and with a relative's discount saved nearly $1000 over what the dealership was charging.
Problem is, he wasn't able to get the Napa Echlin sensors to sync up (outdated scanner software) which meant they weren't being detected which I was fine with. No lights no warning, just empty slots on the TPMS screen. But a week later, the "Check TPMS" screen comes on along with 3 warning lights.
As I start to learn more about the TPMS sensors, I start to wonder, am I going to have to have the original hyundai sensors reprogrammed when the tires are swapped again in the spring or will they sync up automatically and assuming we can get the Napas to sync up, will they have to be reprogrammed each fall or will the computer recognize both sets of codes after they've initialized once?
Because I would like to change my own tires fall/summer, I'm considering purchasing the Ateq quickset TPMS tool if I'm going to have to reprogram each season.
If anyone can shed some light on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated
