Autel MX-Sensor 2 in 1 (315MHz + 433MHz)(Screw-in) 100% Cloneable TPMS Programmable Sensors for Tire Pressure Monitoring System(Metal Valves,Set of 4 Pieces)
i used this to read my old ones and program the new ones, only works with Autel MX-SensorsAutel MaxiTPMS PAD Sensor Programming Handheld Accessory Device to Diagnose OE TPMS Sensors, Exclusively Program MX-Sensor with Easy Using Steps, Plug & Play
I have not had to actually replace them yet, so I can't guarantee this. Probably someone smarter than me can confirm, 180 ?
Issue Autel uses to sway buyers to use their sensors. Their scanner tools will do the cloning of existing sensors, but requires user to install only Autel MX-Sensors (as you reported in your posting). But if you have the DRB3 Emulator, DRB scanner or Starscan equipment, you can use sensors from any source (that align with the model year & model of your Crossfire) & program the TPMS to read & store the new sensor information. I have the Autel TS501 scanner tool. I have mixed sensors on my car (DS - OEM sensors; PS - VDO REDI-Sensors) and there were no issues "triggering" the sensors with the Autel TS501 and the DRB3 Emulator storing the data in the TPMS module. And no magnet was required - Autel scanner tool provides the RF signal to the sensor to "trigger" it.
