These tools have been on the market for a while. It's worth the extra $$ to buy one that spans all brands and has bi-directional bluetooth so you can have the dongle plugged into the OBD port and the computer with you anywhere around the vehicle. I started with a Launch and moved to an Autel with TPMS capability. I will say that TPMS is a bit overkill but it's nice having a built in activator, I can read all 4 sensors to the device then upload the latest location configuration all in one shot after a tire rotation. My wife didn't understand value of this device until I rolled down a window from outside of the car!

However, considering that Toyota vehicles come with tire pressure sensors, this feature has been split into a separate retail component and needs to be paired with the 5011E Tire Pressure Device to use the TPMS Reset feature separately. We have sent the issue back to Product Operations and the new details will remove the TPMS reset feature.☺
