Default TPMS tool

Does anyone know if a TPMS sensor can still be reset w/ a magnet ala the C5 system, or does it require a specialized tool?

On page 10-60 of the owner's manual it states: TPMS Sensor Matching
Process — Auto Learn Function
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel position after rotating the tires or replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. When a tire is
installed, the vehicle must be stationary for about 20 minutes before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes, driving at a minimum speed of 19 km/h (12 mph). A dash (-) or pressure value will display in the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-26 and Tire Messages on page 5-43. A warning message displays in the DIC if a problem occurs during the relearn process.

C7 automatically recalibrates TPMS. How cool is that?

This is not unusal. My 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Edition does the same as the C7 TPMS recalibration method.

I have a hand held re-programming tool... It is convenient to be able to read the tire temp. and pressure when adjusting air pressures, and to manually re-set the sensors.

we just took wheels off of my car and put them on another vette, by the time we had all 4 mounted, the tpms was already calibrated with the engine off, doing nothing....the part # for this TPMS "no mess" GM part is 19119416
