Help with TMPS tool in Detroit Area!

I just put new wheel & tires on my car and have an AutoX tomorrow. Anyone in the Farmington / Livonia area have a TPMS tool that could hook me up in the morning?

I bought my Bartec TPMS tool from Wright tools in Troy, MI.

You can also buy a small cheap stereo 40W+ speaker and pull the magnet off the back to reset the TPMS if you need a quick fix.

That does not work on the newer cars.

Nope!!! Magnet won't work on C6 sensors.

Looking at the OP's profile he has a C6. For the C6 sensors you need a tool that transmits a radio frequency to trigger the sensors during the relearn procedure.

Cheapest tool available is an ATEQ VT10 from Tire Rack for $105. Well worth it if you'll be swapping wheels/tires/sensors regularly for track events.

Bought the Tirerack tool. Worked great. Just ran with active handling on on Monday...

Thanks for all the help.
