My Tyre Pressure Monitors are unable to be programmed despite using magnets? Could this be a software problem?
Any suggestions please. Have used magnets.

Not all of them can be programmed with magnets. There are many different sensors, which ones do you have?
Best practice is program them before you install them, while they are still outside the tire and you can iron out any issues without having to dismount the tire and wheel.

What tire pressure sensors? Existing stock? If so did they work previously? New? If new, what brand and part number.

Assuming you have the right ones (Freq I mean), if the Magnet won't trip them (wouldn't for me), I use the good ole 10 dollar tool from Amazon and it works perfectly. There are quite a few to choose from, all 8-10 bucks
