The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF... a professional quality product
As a DIYer, this is my review and first-use experience with the Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF. Successfully replaced two OEM TPMS sensors on a 2010 Toyota Highlander with Autel TPMS 1-Sensor 315MHz + 433MHz 2 in 1 Dual Frequency sensors. The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF worked flawlessly.DEVICE REGISTRATION. The registration of the TS508WF went very smoothly. I first created an account on ‘https://autel.com/us/ ‘ and registered the TS508WF online using my laptop computer. To register the TS508WF online, you will need the ‘Product Serial Number’ and ‘Register Password’ which can be found in the device under ‘My Device’ -- ‘About’.DEVICE UPDATE. Next, I updated the TS508WF using the wifi on the device to test this functionality on this model. Updating the device by wifi can be found in the device under ‘My Device’ -- ‘Update by Wi-Fi’. The download process was very slow (approximately 10 to 15 minutes to download the update) followed by the actual installation process of two modules which took another 1 to 1.25 hours in total to complete. Fortunately, I could monitor the update progress (%) which showed a slow but steady % increase until completion for each module update. After about 1.5 hours (from start to finish), the device completed the ‘Update by Wi-Fi’ without a hitch. I would highly suggest (and I believe it is recommended by Autel) to plug in the power supply during updates. As this was my very first device update, I don’t know if all updates will take this long. However, as long as the ‘Update by Wi-Fi’ is successful, I believe the device is working as intended.TPMS DIAGNOSE. The TS508WF was able to identify two sensors that needed replacing by using the ‘Advanced Mode’ -- ‘TPMS Diagnose’ procedure. One OEM sensor was completely dead and the another one registered with a low battery voltage.PROGRAMMING TPMS SENSOR. Programming the Autel MX Sensor-1 (Press-in, Metal Valve) with the TS508WF worked flawlessly. I programmed the Autel MX sensors before installing them into the tires. I used the ‘Advanced Mode’ – ‘Program Sensor’ – ‘Auto Create 1-16 Sensors’ procedure to program the Autel MX sensors. For those new to the Autel MX Sensor, this sensor is a blank sensor that needs to be programmed with ID(Hex) code, which can be accomplished with the TS508WF. The sensor can also be reprogrammed with a different ID(Hex) code, if needed. Just be aware, the device is defaulted to program the Autel MX sensors below pressures of 10 psi (out of the tire; or before inflating the tire the new sensor is installed into). However, the TPS program limit setting can be turned off under ‘My Device’ – ‘Setting’ – ‘TPS Prog Limit’ to program/reprogram the Autel MX sensors when the tire pressure is over 10 psi without having to deflate the tire.POSITION RELEARN. After programming the Autel MX Sensor, I replaced the defective OEM sensors with the newly programmed Autel MX sensors and applied the ‘Position Relearn’ procedure under ‘Advanced Mode’. Something to be aware of during the ‘Position Relearn’ process, the device may show a 30-second countdown while unlocking the ECU before writing the new TPMS sensor IDs to it. During the 30-second countdown, a number of my dash panel lights were randomly flashing during the ECU unlock process on my 2010 Toyota Highlander. After the ECU is unlocked, the dash lights will stop flashing, and the device will write the TPMS IDs to the ECU. At the end of the ‘Position Relearn’ process, the device directed me to turn off the ignition and to turn it back on, after which the TPMS warning light remained off. Note: Throughout the entire ‘Position Relearn’ process, when the unit instructed to turn the ignition on, I only turned the ignition to the ‘accessory mode’ position (no crank; engine not running). Although the device instructed to drive the vehicle for 10 minutes, the ‘Position Relearn’ procedure cleared the TPMS warning light for my particular vehicle without turning on (cranking) the engine. It was at this point, I turned off the car, removed the device from the OBD-II, started the car, and test drove my vehicle for at least 10 minutes to make sure the TPMS warning light remained off.I have since driven the vehicle over 500 miles since installing the new TPMS sensors. No problems so far. I have not perceived any wheel balance issues, and I did not have the wheels rebalanced. I used the BeadBuster XB-452 to break the tire bead. Before changing out the TPMS sensors, I weighed the Autel MX sensors out-of-the-box which were found to each be 24 grams (valve stem, lock nut, washer and sensor) vs the Toyota OEM sensors of 34 grams (valve stem, lock nut, washer and sensor).COPY BY OBD. In experimenting with the ‘Copy by OBD’ method of programming the Autel MX Sensor-1, this method also works flawlessly. However, I would caution against using this method if replacing TPMS sensors that are still functioning even with low battery. The ‘Copy by OBD’ method of programming assigns the same ID(Hex) code from the OEM sensor to the Autel MX sensor and can cause the vehicle’s TPMS warning light to either flash intermittently or to stay on, if the old TPMS sensors are still emitting a signal within 100 meters (328 feet) of the vehicle. Autel recommends that when programming the Autel MX-sensor by the ‘Copy by OBD’ method, “the old sensor should be thrown 100 meters away or put inside a sealed metal box to prevent the old sensor from interfering with the signal.” If the TPMS sensors that are being replaced are completely dead, the ‘Copy by OBD’ method shouldn’t be a problem. Although I am not entirely sure, I believe the advantage of the ‘Copy by OBD’ method is that it may avoid having to perform the ‘Position Relearn’ procedure if all the sensors are already in the correct positions. Personally, I think the ‘Auto Create 1-16 Sensors’ programming method for Autel MX sensors followed by the ‘Position Relearn’ procedure is fool-proof.CUSTOMER SERVICE. I purchased mine from the Autel Store. I had an issue with a temporary price drop just days after purchasing my unit. Although Amazon policy does not allow Amazon customer service to refund the difference in price without placing another order at the lower price and returning the original order purchased at the higher price, the Amazon seller was very helpful. The response time after messaging this Amazon seller was excellent. I was, subsequently, directed to email after-the-sale customer service ([email protected]) for further assistance. Customer support was very responsive. Excellent communication. Prompt resolution.The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF seems like a professional quality product. Well designed. The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF comes in a nice protective plastic case with plenty of room for the unit and the included accessories (OBD-II cable, charging brick, USB A to Mini-B cable). It doesn’t come with a lot of written instructions on how to use it. Procedures are available within the device. And there are videos on its use that can be found on the internet. The only flaw I have found with the device so far is that my unit does not power down when the power supply is plugged in. The USB connection symbol appears at the top of the screen when the USB cable is plugged into the device. The screen stays on continuously and the power button is unresponsive to shut down (that is, the unit will not power down even with a long press of the power button). While this may be a practical feature when the unit is performing lengthy software updates, the screen staying on when the unit is just charging seems counterproductive, and frankly, annoying. Perhaps a software update can resolve this. While lifetime device updates are definitely a plus, I cannot comment regarding the longevity of this device or the battery life.Overall, I am pleased with the The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF and have no reservations recommending this product to others.

Dispositivo completo y soporte extraordinario
Llevaba un tiempo con la luz TPMS encendida en mi Toyota Yaris HSD de 2015, ya que había entrado en un estado conocido como "loop mode".Los sensores funcionan correctamente, incluso podía ver los valores correctos con la aplicación "Tire Assistant" en Android, pero el coche seguía con la luz encendida en el salpicadero.Adquirí el dispositivo TS508WF y en un par de minutos ya había escaneado los 4 sensores, mostrando sus valores y que la batería de estos era correcta. Conecté por ODB y fue allí donde aparecieron los errores DTC. Pulsé en el botón resetear códigos de error y la luz se apagó del salpicadero. En menos de 10 minutos tenía el problema resuelto.El dispositivo lo usé sin problemas en inglés, sin embargo hice lo que se indicaba en la descripción del producto, mandar un email con el número de serie solicitando la activación del idioma Español, y para mi sorpresa, en menos de 4h ya tenía respuesta haciendome saber que ya podía realizar la actualización para recibir el idioma Español, y eso que mandé el correo muy tarde.Pronto mi vehículo tendrá más de 10 años y los sensores TPMS empezarán a fallar por la batería, por lo que podré adquirir los sensores de Autel e instalarlos yo mismo, ahorrándome los importes que suelen pedir en el servicio oficial.Por tanto, recomiendo 100% este producto.

These guys were great they kept in touch throughout the whole order process and even contacted me to ask how I was getting on with the new equipment and if I needed any help. Product was very reasonably priced and arrived in the stated time and the free gift was a definite bonus compared with other suppliers. Highly recommended this company, I shall definitely be using them for all my Autel needs in the future.
