No programming required before installation - follow OE relearn procedure after installation.
The VDO REDI-Sensor brings simplicity and ease of installation to TPMS service. REDI-Sensor is a technological breakthrough based on the concept of having one TPMS sensor preprogrammed to work with multiple makes and models.
Features
Pre-programmed but a TPMS tool is needed to do the "re-learn"
Works with all major TPMS tools
Valve core, stem and hex nut treated against corrosion
Valve cap seal minimizes air loss
Pivoting valve stem makes installation easier and accommodates a wide range of wheel rim profiles
Metal Valve (Clamp-In) style TPMS Sensors have higher speed ratings (typically up to 155 mph) than Rubber Valve (Snap-In) styles (typically up to 115 mph).
Metal (Clamp-In) Installation: The valve piece is attached to the sensor body, and the valve core is secured with a nut and rubber grommet.
Program vs. Clone vs. Relearn
Don't confuse TPMS Sensor Relearning, Programming and Cloning! Some processes require a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Programming Tool to complete, but not all processes are required (or available) for every application.
PROGRAM
Required onlyfor Universal (Programmable) Sensors, in addition to TPMS Sensor Relearning. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Program the specific Year/Make/Model protocol for the vehicle into the sensor
Create or Clone a sensor ID onto the sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
CLONE
Ideal for drivers who frequently swap wheels/tires, such as during the winter season. A relearn procedure is not required when sensors are cloned. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Copy/Clone the unique ID from the original TPMS Sensor to the replacement sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
RELEARN
Required when a new (not cloned) sensor ID is introduced or when the tires are rotated. A TPMS Tool may be required to:
Write the unique sensor IDs to the vehicle's computer
Assign the IDs to the correct wheel position (for vehicles that display pressure by location)
AFTER INSTALLATION

Verifying TPMS Sensor Frequencies
Attention EU customers: TPMS Sensors transmit at 433 MHz in the European Union - this sensor transmits at 315 MHz and will not work on vehicles operating within the EU. Select a '433 MHz' replacement under your vehicle, or check for universal replacements under Tools & Universal Parts > Wheel > Tire > Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor.
Metal Valve (Clamp-In) style TPMS Sensors have higher speed ratings (typically up to 155 mph) than Rubber Valve (Snap-In) styles (typically up to 115 mph).
