ATEQ VT37 TPMS Sensor Activation and Programming Tool

Great little machine. I had the first generation of a TPMS monitor device and this one totally outshines it. At first I was angry that I was forced to upgrade but got over it quickly. I love how I do not have to check air pressure by hand, just a quick walk around. I was able to easily program some universal NAPA TPMS sensors that I bought that were not fully programmed, and they were already in the tires on my Jeep Wrangler. It also programs some Key Fobs (I did not verify this as I do not have a FOB key) and keeps the recent data after checking all 5 tires. It has a rechargeable battery that lasts a good amount of time and is slow to lose charge when not in use. The only thing that I don’t care for is the subscription model for the TPMS database and firmware but the database is top notch. If you keep and maintain the same vehicles it is not a big deal, but a new car purchase would likely require a new subscription or a work around. This machine does virtually almost every make and type of TPMS, except perhaps Autel, an TPMS aftermarket solution for weekend warriors. This is a great product at a good price point because it pays for itself quickly if you have more than one vehicle with TPMS that you want to maintain yourself.

i’ve had it for 2 years now and it’s worked flawlessly for me… many many tpms have been programmed along the way without any issues…. remember you’ve got to be smarter than the tool!!!!!

Bought the VT37 to fix a programming error by Canadian Tire, who programmed all sensors with the same id. It took a few attempts but after putting in a call to ATEQ support I discovered it was positioning the antenna correctly on the tire. All sensors programmed no issue. But was not able to do self-learn as my Chevrolet vehicle does not have a menu option. Will have to get them relearned using OBDII PROGRAMMING. The reprogramming of the TPMS sensors was flawless. This tool does most of the work for you including instructions. Well worth theMoney.

i gave 5 stars because it did its job and because of customer service. i am not a pro just a DIY guy.The new sensors from vdo/continental redi-sensor require a setup to tell them what vehicle they are going in. The autel unit I had been using for years to activate and read sensors when swapping rims would not read the new redi-sensors. The autel reads them after the ATEQ unit set them up. So am going to sell the Autel and use the ATEQ going forward. This ATEQ will do programming and cloning of various manufacturer sensors.Also i was actually able to talk to a customer service rep who knew his product. Big plus there.

On first activation of VT-37 some 8 months after purchasing this unit (because I now needed it for the upcoming snow season) I found out that the licence had expired some 4 months ago. You're supposed to get two years of free updates with the VT-37. I then phoned ATEQ's support line, left a message and had a call back one hour later. After giving my unit's serial number ATEQ's support apologized and gave me two years of free updates from my unit's original expiry date. I'm very happy with the support I got. Thank you ATEQ.
