Anybody have any they like for regular use? Starting a tire service company and need to get a computer to reset TPMS when swapping customer wheels. Looking at the Baratec Tech300 Pro but wondering if there is something else I should look at.

I don't even bother with tape on my I own cars. But people are weiners and I think it might be a law.

We use an older Bartec, it works well. I'd like to say the 400 model. (Looks completely different from the model range on their website) It does programming/cloning a hell of a lot better and easier than the Alligator setup we also bought.

I would actually like one of those programmer things, since I have winter wheels and tires for the Sienna, so it spends nearly half the year with the light on. And it started a month early this year, because one of the stupid run-flat tires went flat and got driven flat long enough (more than a mile, but less than 10) that I don't trust the sidewalls any more even if I did get it patched.

Pushing the amazingly well-hidden TPMS reset button doesn't make it go into learning mode?

(I'll admit to being unfamiliar with direct-reading Toyotas. Most of the ones I see are indirect, and they are extremely sensitive to rolling radius)

Well I just found a used 400 model for under $300 shipped so I will give that one a shot! Thanks!
