A basic TPMS should be simple. If one tire has low psi, the dash light comes on. That's all the system has to do. I don't even see the need for 4 different codes? Some cars will give you a psi reading for each individual tire on the car, but this system is not that complicated. All the system needs to do is record four working sensors & give a warning for low psi in any given tire.

It's nice to know a better system is out there. The Mirage system appears to be pretty lame. My hope is that when my sensors start to die, I will be able to replace all four sensors with ones that can be cloned or come with a matching set of sensors. Until that day comes, I will just drive with the dash light on when using my snow tires. Like mentioned already, you can think of the dash light as telling you that you are in snow tire driving mode!

We've used the sensors on GM's, Ford's, Toyota's, pretty much everything except euro stuff so far. I dont see why they would not work though given the tool has the ability to deal with them. You do need the Autel tool to program the Autel sensors. Pretty much most if not all aftermarket sensors are that way, as I understand it.

GM vehicles are easy to relearn and it's fairly simple, the MX808 appears to be a full out scan too,l so that may be the why for the 20$ tool (more handy/portable).
