Are the tire sensors specific to one location? Meaning, when I rotate the tires will it be able to relearn their new position on the car?

I have only used this system for a very short time, but from what I have seen so far, they are specific to one location only.

It depends on your vehicle. If you have a vehicle which can be put into relearn mode, this will trigger the sensors to send signal and do the relearn. GM cars are an example of this type. There are vehicles that require the ID of the sensors to be sent to the vehicle via the OBDII connector and this tool won't do that.

Good Afternoon No, the weight of the sensor is not enough to affect tire/wheel balance. But do to the length I do not recommend the Flow-Through sensors for towed vehicles or trailer. The rims are narrower and you risk damaging them on a curb.

Not 100% sure but I think all of the sensors are the same. I looked at the ones on the car and they all look the same.

The way you set the device is to attach it to the wall, then position your vehicle exactly where you want it in the final parking spot. Then you press the button on the unit which sets and remembers this spot. Only one issue that could cause you a bit of a problem. I have a Mazda RX9 with a very pointed front end. I find that if I move a few inches to the left or right, that the sensor doesn't see the car until the part of the nose moves to the spot where I originally set it up. Not a big deal, but I was at an exact spot as you want, and the difference made me touch a refrigerator set to the right corner of garage.

Sorry, I don't fully understand the question, but in order for that sensor to work it needs to be program to the car, and the car has to be equip with tpms system.

maybe put a fresh battery in the sensor clip. if you hold the magnet next to the sensor and move it with the device turned on you should see the wheel icons in the upper left moving. On my tires the magnet that clips to the spoke is about 1/16th of an inch away from the bottom of the sensor when it passes, has to be close.

These that I bought are for the front wheels and do come with the sensor.If you can I would recommend buying the more expensive bearings with Tempkin bearing for more reliable service. Search automotive section for compatibility for your car up where it says all,go to automotive and input your car.

It depends on your dash configuration..mine slopes down and forward so I have to place it back on the dash so that the detector is not pointing toward the hood but down the road.

Had the tire shop install mine when I had new tires installed. They will have to program it to your vehicle. Most places have the device to get your vehicle to recognize the sensors. Some vehicles allow you to self-program by deflating/inflating the individual tires. Search the Internet for your vehicle.

The sensors will not work. I have them on a 2012 cc and they are the wrong frequency.

I think you are misreading the part of the description where it states "Smart Mercedes Benz OEM Tire Pressure Sensor Fortwo..." the "fortwo" reference is describing the "Smart fortwo" Car brand which this sensor would work for. (Smart Fortwo cars are made by Mercedes Benz and are typically sold by some of its dealers).

Sorry for the delay in answering. My car does not have a TPMS. This is usually a module that is part of the wheel, not the tire. I see no reason why this tire would not work on a TPMS-equipped vehicle.

Yes, you can actually install these sensors anywhere. The only reason people use this for back up sensors is because it's convenient to install on the bumper and to activate it you just tie it to the reverse light. I have installed these on cars for side sensors and activated them with blinkers... Very easy to install. I have a set installed on my car front and back because I am lucky enough to have a camera that activates on the front of my car that turns on automatically when I'm moving under 7 MPH and when in reverse.!

Goodyear Service Center did it for free since we bought tires there at same time. We changed them all (sensors). They mentioned that the batteries start failing at 5 yrs, so going forward I'll plan sensor replacements around tire purchases, preventive maintenance.

No its not permanent. You can always reprogram it back to stock. You shouldn't have to adjust the speedometer unless you changed gears in your rearend or different size tires.

yeah, it won't recognize it. The tool lets you easily reset the learning mode of the receiver/computer by grounding the proper wire in a series of code signal. I never did get my infiniti M-35 to recognize the new tpms in all four tires (supposedly the correct ones) so...$145 later I bought a good pressure gauge and threw it in the glove box and manually check tire pressures.
