Apex RCV and RPV Fast Deflators

[TeCKis300]

RPVs are still hanging tough in there. One of my favorite mods making airing down such quick work. So far so good. A couple of my wheels faces are quite thrashed. I'm sure one day I'll catch the wrong rock but the valves having been hanging tough in there.

This is also why I don't bother running hub caps as they would have been crushed like my last set.

That wheel shows evidence of reckless hooligan behavior

I approve

I got a new set of wheels, Apex RPV's and Schrader 33500's with the programmer. How do I make sure the 33500's are linked/communicating with my LX 570 before I take it to the tire shop to get the tires mounted? I'd hate to get the tires mounted and find out one or all of TPMS aren't talking to the vehicle.

It’s been a while since I did mine but I’m pretty sure if you’re just straight up copying the new ones from the old ones you won’t be able to tell until you move the old ones out of range. I was having all sorts of bizarre behavior from mine until I put the original TPMS in a far away place in my house.

All I did was copy each one to the new sensor and had them mounted. Even if you mess that up your programmer should be able to connect via OBD and you can just program them that way.

I carried my new wheels and my OEM wheels and tires to the shop in my minivan to have them all installed so idk what the TPMS would have read with 2 sets of the same sensors. However, the first couple days my air pressures would change to “0” when I pulled into the garage until I moved the original sensors because the Cruiser would pick them up when they were in range. I’ve had zero issues since.

Thanks Artie. I just wanted to make sure TPMS are functioning properly before I get the tires mounted. If it takes the LX a little while to learn them, I can live with that. My storage shed should be far enough away for the winter tires not to be picked up.

You’re good to go, especially since you have the program tool. One way or the other we’ll figure it out, this forum loves a collaborative project.

Pretty straightforward once I registered the programmer and updated the firmware. First setup the ez tpms for Lexus LX, then scan existing sensors, then make copies to the new sensors. Fingers crossed once I get tires mounted they all work
