The guy promised me that his manager (who of course wasn't there yeasterday) knew everything there is to know and that he has successfully programed orange electronic sensors in the past. He recomended I bring it by another day and have them try to program them before going any further. They don't have a T30 tool but they do have their universal scaner tool that has worked in the past. I am pesimistic about it. They of course recomended that I trash the brand new orange electronic ones and buy their $70 each EZ sensors.
I wanted to remove them and install standard ones while I sent them to James for program but I can't even do that now.
From what I've read on this subject, it's a federally mandated system.. kinda like pulling the seat belts out for saving weight .. big no no.. You never did (that I can recall) verify you have the old ones for getting the ID from to program the new ones? If not the only place you will get them from is the cars system itself. All this has me looking at the complete system with the read out. Tells you individual tire pressures and temperatures.
Also found another "authorized" dealer.. DP-Accessories 800-594-3898
