NoVa - Anyone have a TPMS reset tool I can use?
I have a 4 post lift if you want to change your oil...or I can get you a case of beer or something.
Only take 5 min of your time if you have the tool...
I got new rims and need to reset the Tire sensors since they are new and still hold the values from the old ones.
Let me know. rjgraham@gmail.com
Thanks.

1. Hop in the car
2. Drive to your nearest pawn shop
3. Ask to borrow a 6 inch mid-range speaker (5 minutes tops)
4. Go back to car and get into TPMS training mode
5. Place magnet on the valve stem of each tire in the order the DIC says
6. Turn car off and go back into pawn shop
7. Return speaker and head back to your car.
Seriously though, I have been using a house speaker magnet to reset my TPMS when needed. I don't think it is any different on a C6.
BTW: I prefer Presidente (Dominican beer), but will take Heineken.

Ahh, but Ryan has a C6 which uses an RF based TPMS system rather than the outdated magnetic system found on antiquated C5s such as yours.
For this reason, he needs to have access to a specialized tool such as the one I possess.
Ryan, I sent you a PM.
