Great presentation; lots of knowledge and easy to understand. However, you don't need distracting background music... or not this soundtrack and not so loud.
If you have a Mitsubishi Mirage and it 5+ year old buy a tool and clone the TPMS sensors in the car. Have them on the shelf ready to go when one OEM ones go. If you end up with a dead one then you may end up at the dealer or a shop and paying like $100+ to get the car programed. IT's a PIA and the Mirage forum has a post on how much it is a PIA.
Question. I have '15 Mustang tires/wheels on my '14 Mustang. The '15 has a variable signal and shows actual pressure on the dash. My '14 only shows a warning light at low pressure. Will this tool be able to make the '15 sensor compatible with the '14? Does it have the capability to re-program with the sensor in the tires? Great review!
Good question! I do know you can reprogram with them in the tire. Out of the tire you can program up to 16 at one time. As for making one compatible with the other, I’m not completely sure. The variable may be if it can be read as a stand alone and not have interference via the OBD port. If you go this route, let me know what you found out.
Are you 100% sure the 508 can actually reprogram (modify the code) on non-MX sensors? I've read reviews that it cannot, and I know the slightly older 408 cannot.
Agree with the background music. It was a trail and error and mostly error. Functionally of the tool is pretty simple. Most that work in tire shops understand pretty easily. Thanks for watching!
Hi. I asked local NAPA Canby, IN and they knew nothing about the promotion. How does it work? Is this a rebate type program where you purchase sensors and tool and are then reimbursed?
It’s a national program, the store employee must not have been aware of. We have several things going so things often get lost between the cracks at times. The plan is, buy 20, 30, or 125 sensors and get a free tool. 20 gets you a TS508, 30 is the TS508WF, and 125 is the TS608 which does more than just TPMS. There is a form to fill out from the store (District Managers have these forms) and the tool will come to you for free after the purchase of the sensors.
Hi Scott I was talking with my local Napa in Riverhead, NY 11901 and they were only aware of the tool kit with 8 sensors. Can you help me out I am looking I’m for the 25 sensors and the 508WF. Thank you!
Have the store to come tact their tool rep (District Sales Manager) I’m not sure who that is there but can find out. The details are still good through the end of the year. Buy 20 1SENSOR and get the tool free. Buy 30 and get the WiFi version of the tool for free. The tool has to be ordered via a special form with Autel and ship within a week or so after the tpms purchase
I have one more question before i order the too,only one oem sensor is bad on my car,can i but 1 autel sensor and program it to the car even i leave the other 3 oem sensors?thanks
That’s odd, the district manager there is leading our region is sales. You found a lazy employee or one uneducated in the program. Contact the store and tell them to reach out to Tom Smith, the Tools and Equipment district manager and he can get them and you set up today. I’m reaching out to him now to give him a heads up.
You will need to contact your local NAPA. If they don’t know the details, ask for the number of their district tools and equipment manager and they can fill you in.
NAPA? WHAT A JOKE, they won't stand behind their belt warranty, or anything else they sell probably. No napa, never!, EVER AGAIN!! That belt cost them thousands from my shop!
It will work on any car. Keep in mind if you’re looking to program new sensors it will only work on OE and Autel MX sensors. But as far as reading it will read any sensor pending the sensor is still good
This is a great tool for small to large independent shop owners that want to have a "value add" to their shop.
You are absolutely correct!
Thanks Scott, but could you drop the volume a tad on the elevator music.
have a great day and a prosperous new year thank you for the video
Thank you!! I hope you do as well
Great presentation; lots of knowledge and easy to understand. However, you don't need distracting background music... or not this soundtrack and not so loud.
Thanks you for the compliment and advise. It was my first time trying a back track. Wasn’t a fan overall myself.
Great video and we'll explained, but the only minus side is that the background music us really annoying I couldn't concentrate.
It’s the second video I did that with and I completely agree with you. Thank you for watching and commenting. More to come!
Great info, but drop the annoying background "noise".

But It can read OEM IDs and then clone XM sensors though, right?
That’s correct.

No it will not. Only MX sensors. It can read and relearn OE senosors and placement
They don't mention this at all. Good to know
But it can read and then clone MX sensors to the original OEM ones though?
hey there is there any offers like that still going on?
I’m not sure I have no ties to that company any longer
Will this TS508WF activate "pre-programmed" Schrader TPMS new sensors on a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze?
That’s a great question! My answer would lean towards no though that is an educated guess at this point.
Back ground music is very annoying. Very little information as to what the different functions do. More of an advertisement than anything.

Had a conference call this morning. Call Mike Sauer at 317-833-2732. He’s the District Manager for that area and can help you at the store there.

Will this program other aftermarket tpms sensors as well or only the autel brand?
It will not. It will read them, just not program them.
So if i were to replace all 4 oem tpms with aftermarket ones,i can use ts508wf to program aftermarket tpms to my vehicle ?thanks
As long as you use Autel you can. It won’t program Schrader, Echlin, etc.
@@TheKOreport thank you!
I have one more question before i order the too,only one oem sensor is bad on my car,can i but 1 autel sensor and program it to the car even i leave the other 3 oem sensors?thanks
@@eacalways you can
@@TheKOreport thanks
Any more promotion now in April 2022 in Canada Ontario in Napa stores?
I’m not sure with Canada, I’m sorry.
How can I change the tire pressure thresholds for bigger tires ?
You may need a different scan tool for this setting. I’m sure there’s a way to do it but can’t say I’ve ever done it.
no napa near me has the mx1senor what to do now after i bought the tool west tn
They can get it, ask your store to contact Kent Wadley. He can assist the store in getting inventory. Otherwise, Advance Auto may have them in stock.
Hi did foxwell good or thes
HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO BUY, BUT HAVING A PROBLEM IN FINDING A NAPA STORE THAT SELLS AUTE IN MY AREA!
!
It’s a nationwide program. Where are you located? Maybe I know someone who can help.
@@TheKOreport THANK FOR GETTING BACK WITH ME SO FAST I'M IN WASHINGTON DC

Great program great information could you please send me link how to get this tool free thank you

How do you read aftermarket tpms sensors installed already? Tia.
All TPMS tools will read the sensors, it just can’t reprogram them.
@@TheKOreport will a autel 508 read them and program them, aftermarkets.?
It will read any sensor. Program only OEM and Autel.
Great video, but for the extremely irritating background music. Beyond distracting.
Yeah, it was the first and last time I tried it. Sorry!
Where I can buy the MX1SENSOR
Most Advance Auto and NAPA have them. If not I know the NAPA can get them from their DC
Hi Where are you located ?
North Carolina
How much or free how I’m have
That did not translate well, I’m not sure what you’re asking
NAPA? WHAT A JOKE, they won't stand behind their belt warranty, or anything else they sell probably. No napa, never!, EVER AGAIN!! That belt cost them thousands from my shop!
They made me mad too!
Hi, will it works with any car or only few models?
It will work on any car. Keep in mind if you’re looking to program new sensors it will only work on OE and Autel MX sensors. But as far as reading it will read any sensor pending the sensor is still good
