It took 3 weeks of frustration and dealing with customer support to realize that the tool just wouldn't work even though it was supposed it. I have 2012 Subaru Impreza.
As noted in other reviews, the Quickset is definitely not for the casual user. I had to scour the internet to find tips from previous users, the instructions stink, and I had to download updated software from ATEQ even though my unit was manufactured three weeks before I purchased it. Why four stars instead of two then? Because nobody else produces anything like it, and if you have two sets of tires and wheels, both with TPMS, it's the only thing keeping you from wasting time and money going to the dealer twice a year if you own certain vehicles produced by Asian car companies. In my case it's a RAV 4.You have to be smart in how you use it, and make sure you write down all of your codes as a backup. After downloading the factory TPMS ID's, I loaded up my winter wheel ID's and still couldn't get the idiot light to go off. It turns out that when the onboard computer was loaded with the car's TPMS info at the Toyota factory the spare's ID code was listed as one of the drive wheels, while one of the drive wheels was listed as the spare. Fortunately, there was a bar-code on the spare wheel with a TPMS ID so I was able to figure it out quickly, otherwise it would have been trial and error with eventual success. Using the ATEQ software I then put in the correct code for the spare and all was good.
I can see why a major online tire/wheel retailer dropped this item though. If you are a logical, persistent type it will work for you. Others beware. On a side note, car manufacturers really need to become more user-friendly with TPMS. GM is the only company that gets it as far as I can tell. TPMS user-unfriendliness could easily be a deal-breaker in my next vehicle purchase.
