TPMS Trigger Tool, which one to get?
I posted this in the C6 Z06 section but i probably should have posted in the tech section:
I will have two sets of wheels for my 06 Z (as of tomorrow) and will switch back and forth every now and then depending on my mood.
My question is, is there any reason why i shoudn't buy this tool?:
http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...toring+Systems
For my purposes of simply swithcing wheels every so often i would assume this is a perfect tool at a great price.
Any reason why i shouldn't get the tool above and go for a different tool such as this:
http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...toring+Systems
Or is their any other tool you guys would recommend and why?
Any advice would be great.
Thank you

You want the orange Cub pro 101 for $19.99 from tire rack ($30 with shipping) if you have a C6 corvette. Not only will it monitor and trigger the TPMS's, but will allow you to clone them as well.
The glitch on the Cub (why its being sold so cheap), in order for it to work on 2010 to 2013 vetts, you have to use the 2009 HHR settting, and not the vet 2005 to 2009 setting. The 2009 HHR uses the same TPMS that on on the 2010 to 2013 vets (and the tool does not have a 2010 to 2013 select from the menu).
And yes, its a steel of a price, since it even includes the rechargeable batteries that alone would cost you $20 if you had to buy them.
And again, The only reason that it being blow out, there is not a way to update the select menu's on it through the manufacturer to have a Corvette 2010 to 2013 select in the menu, although it will program these TPMS using the HHR select instead.
Again, if you have a 2001 to 2004, there is a sub menu in the corvette setting for your car.
2005 to 2009 , sub menu in Corvette for your car as well
2010 to 2013 corvette, select Chevrolet, then HHR, and then 2008-09 and the Cub works for your car.
P.S. to install the batteries in the Cub, pull the orange cover off the tool, put the batteries in, put the cover back on, then charge the batteries before you use the tool.

No better deal out there for a TPMS tool. I bought mine on the rec of the TPMS guru, BEZ06.
