Does this sensor require a handheld device to program location or can you set the position like the factory by using remote and a strong magnet?

I bought these for my Vett when I changed tires. All you need is a magnet. One with a hole in the center works best as you then can put the sensor stem up thru the magnet. For my car I had to go into the message center and find the spot that resets your monitors. Google your car and you may find a video of someone actually doing it. Once I had the message center at the right spot it then started at I believe the drivers side front wheel and when around the car clockwise. When the wheel was selected it gave me a certain amount of time to sety it. To set it I had to go to the wheel and move the magnet around the sensor stem until the car horn sounded once. Then you move to the next wheel selected and do the same thing. Sometimes it took a fair amount of moving the magnet around the stem before it sounded the horn.

Hi, I replaced 4 TPMS on 2 corvetets a couple were defective but Dorman did an immediate no questions replacemenmts. But yes all that you nee is a good strong magnet that you can place on the Valve stem, most importantly yo must adhere o the sequence of setting them proscribed by mfg. Good luck

These sensors are programed with a magnet. Depending on which model car you have there are different ways to start program mode, then you start with left front, when the horn beeps you move to right front, horn beep right rear, horn beep left rear, horn will beep twice then turn off key to exit programing mode.

These work with the magnet. You don't need to an external programming tool. I bought the magnet tool, but if you have a strong magnet around, they say it will work. Magnetized parts trays are supposed to work, for example.

You can when you are using manual activation and no when you are using motion sensor,but, you really dont need to. At least we have not. We just love it!

Yes the product has a sensor and magnet and can be programed to various wheel sizes.

Hello. The sensor unit has to connect to a wheel that spins.. The magnet has to attach to a sopke and the sensor sits on side so when magnet goes arond the sensor picks it up.. Most spin bikes that I have been on don't have that spoke / wheel option... I don't see that happening.

You need a zWave hub of some sort. I started with a wink hub and changed to a SmartThings hub. Also note that this spotter does not detect motion like a PIR motion sensor. It detects when the device moved or is shaken.

The magnet is used to "wake up" the TPMS Sensors, I place the hole of the magnet around the Valve and leave it for 10 minutes, understanding the the sensor is already installed in the wheel, after that I use the "TECH400SD" from Bartec for programing the Sensors.

if you use this model you will need to instal the sensor + the magnet, i would recomend you to use the new garmin sensor http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-010-12102-00-Bike-Cadence-Sensor/dp/B00JLMRXCQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1404416677&sr=8-4&keywords=cadence+sensor+garmin cause it doesnt need the magnet (its a gyroscope)

there is no external sensor. Speed can be had IF you have the GPS option. Just don't bother trying to contact tech no-support. I would rather set my hair on fire and have someone put it out with a sledge hammer than try that again!

I do not believe so - it is not a sensor button. It requires the user to press the button.

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.

It's a mechanical motion sensor. As long as you have it turned on, it will works when you move it.

You may have to shim the alarm out to meet the magnet. The alarm unit and the magnet unit must be in fairly close proximity.

Hello, the Mobile GDO uses magnetic sensors to indicate the position of your garage door. The Mobile GDO supports both a 1 sensor setup and a 2 sensor setup, which ever you prefer to use. The magnets sensors can be installed in various ways, please visit www.TekDevices.com and view our video install guides for sensor placement suggestions.

you could do this but you should take into consiseration that eventually the velcro will start to sag causing gap between the magnet and the switch to increase, giving false alarms. the second thing that you need to take into consideration is that each sensor's location is programed into the base station and the base station wil only recognize that sesor for that location, you cannot mix the senors or else or else the base station will indicate a wrong breach location.

Did u calibrate it to the propper wheel size? Is the magnet within one CM of the sensor? Does the digital display sit above the sensor with its back facing the sensor? Did you check the battery in both units?

Not very far. The remote can be sensative to other devices and makes noise when there is no movement. We used the sensor by itself because the bell is loud enough to hear in the next room.

Either in conjunction with a GPS unit, or by programming, or, if you're fortunate enough to live in one of the relatively few areas that are already programmed in, you're good to go. I have not programmed mine yet, and I don't live in one of the favored areas. In order to program it, you have to have either a lot of information and patience, or specialized software, such as that available from ScannerMaster.com (for a price) augmented with data from RadioReference.com (for a subscription fee), which will be my choice when I get the time and money to go that route.
