    I want to install a used stock set of wheel/tires onto my gen 2 prius. What tool(s) do i need to read the old tpms sensor ids and then program them to their new car? Its ok if it costs a couple hundred bucks. I have a couple of friends with Prius's that often swap their wheels.

    Thanks!

    There are various and sundry TPMS tools that can read your sensors but most of the time with the Toyota sensors you will manually enter them thenumbers into a software program . They're not auto programming capable . Unless you replace with that type. 28 dollars vs 100 a piece . Or similar type costs . Then you need that mfgrs tool

    Pretty sure If they are stock wheels then the existing TPMS in them are already compatible and they will work automatically as long as the batteries in the sensors still have a charge.

    They will work but they have to be entered in to new vehicle with ap 200 or some software. They just won't be recognized being installed on the car
