I have the one, it works on my Equinox, I swap snows for the winter, but it doesn't work on the 2022 C8. Ciocca's service dept said the frequency was changed for the 2022s.

Here is one Tire Rack says will work ATEQ ATEQ VT37 TPMS Tool (tirerack.com) At $210.00

You dont really need a tool. Drive to any local tire shop and they will program the sensors for you. Takes 5 min.

Default Or buy the correct TPMS
Buy the correct Next Gen Sensor and they relearn as described in the owners manual.

I bought my TPM from GM parts desk at a high-volume Corvette dealership, but before I had a VIN. Had dealer try last week but no luck, they are blaming my aftermarket rims. Bought a Chevy 2022 Tool Friday, programs my Equinox OK but nothing out of the C8. It's not the wheels, I'm thinking I've got the wrong TPMs. Will check with a local dealer now ai have a VIN. I tried online but VIN to new and GM Parts doesn't recognize it. What a SNAFU

You all understand you cannot pair an Un programmed tpms sensor right “ many come in multi frequency but still need to be programmed to the cars frequency. Your $5 Amazon tool will do nothing in this situation.

Don't have a $5 Amazon tool, and my tool does both frequencies. The Dealer's tool wouldn't work, they blamed my aftermarket wheels. I think I have the wrong TPMs for a 2022 C8

I have two cars I swap snow tires on and off so having a tool is handy. And my mechanic will do mine for free too, but getting there and back takes 45 minutes, doing it myself takes 5 minutes. Two cars twice a year. But a Chevy Dealer doing it for free too couldn't relearn my C8 TPMs. I've aftermarket wheels, MRRs, and the dealer service guy blamed the position of the Air Valve.
