TPMS programming tool?

XKxRome0ox · 04-21-2017, 12:06 PM

has anyone replaced the TPMS sensors for a 2014+ f30 f3x car?

i bought a second set of wheels and purchased a set of HUF TPMS
looking through the instructions and it says i need a TPMS programming tool to make these work
-_-

i hope the tire shop has one

you should only need to go into the idrive and reset the TPMS. start driving and they will sync up.

IF this is not working for you then you bought the wrong TPMS sensors for your MY F30. They changed for '14+ from what the 12-13 F30s have

i read through a lot of forum posts and articles about the TPMS and part numbers
these sensors are the right part number
36106856209
i hope they just sync up with the TMPS reset then

Who did you buy the sensors from? Can you ask them to program them for you?

there is no programming needed. BMW idrive has the reset for TPM

It worked
HUF TPMS works after just resetting through I drive

Guys, can somebody give a short technical explanation how does this reset happens and how does the car knows the location of each sensor?

I saw a video in Youtube where a Chrysler vehicle got its sensors changed and the guys was walking around with a magnet. I would assume that the system is somehow check the tires itself, but how exactly?

I believe each wheel well has it's own tpms receiver so it only reads whatever the sensor sends.
That's why you can swap / rotate wheels without changing / coding anything

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead. How did you get pressure and temp to show for each wheel?

This is done through coding using esys or bimmercode.

Setting RDC_SAFETY to activ is what i did.

I bought m4 wheels for my 13' F30 and a reset won't work, is there a way to code these new typ of sensors or do I have to buy new ones?
