    Hello I am new to the forum, but I am interested in gathering some opinions. As a Tacoma owner, a problem I have yet to solve is how to change the TPMS pressure for higher pressure off road tires. I believe the dealership can change this set point, but if I change back to stock tires, I have to go and pay them again. Discount Tire is able to change the sensors, but not the pressure limits.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I would like to develop a product to assist in solving this nuisance.

    What features do you want?
    Ability to change pressure limits?
    Storage of 10 sensor IDs to switch between summer and winter wheels?
    Read and activate TPMS sensors?
    Real time pressure readings?
    Multiple Vehicles?
    Other tuning features?

    What would this product be worth to you?

    Any feedback is welcome in this post or PM.

    Thanks!

    Welcome to TW! I believe the second gen Tacoma's have the ability to reset the pressure setting if the driver wants. There is a Reset button under the dash that you push, and hold, and it responds to the new pressure.

    You can set the air pressure limit or range of the TPMS yourself. The button is on the lower left side of the dash by the hood release. No need to go to he dealer for that one. Check your owners manual for the process.

    I agree that storing more sensors (10) would be nice. I have an extra set of wheels, I'd love to put them on without the TPMS light flashing.
