Afraid so. Per my hardware guys,

"The QUICKSET is not compatible with the 2010 model. New tire sensors must be initialized at the vehicle's dealership."

 

About how much (ballpark) is the reprogramming fee?

 

Every dealer is a little different, but I paid $100 for 1/2 hr labor for my IS350 sensors. I've heard anything from $50 - $150 for a reprogram.

 

Oh ok, thats not too bad then. As long as its not $50 per wheel LOL

 

I'd move on to another dealer if that was the case hehe

 

Hahaha... right?

Just called my dealer. $13 per tire. Not bad at all.

 

Stupid Lexus...

 

Wow. Glad I went with Infiniti (I looked at the Lexus IS350) and glad I did it in 2009 and not 2010! Seems like DIY'ers are being squeezed by "the man".

 

take it to the dealer and have them reprogram it

 

I've read somewhere that swapping tpms is a two step process.
1. trigger the car to be in learning mode (short two pins on OBD or something)
2. initialize each TPMS wirelessly

From what I'm reading it appears that Quickset rewrites the car's memory where TPMS s/n are stored so it never goes through the motion of resetting and learning.

The other tool ATEQ V10 seems to be a wireless tool to initialize a TPMS.

Neal, can you clarify more?
