Is the VDO Redi-sensor a TPMS service breakthrough?

VDO REDI-Sensor is a TPMS service breakthrough based on the concept of having the sensor preprogrammed to work with multiple makes and models.

How many Redi sensor SKUs are needed for TPMS?

For auto parts retailers, five REDI-Sensor SKUs replace over 270 OE sensors, including banded, snap-in, and clamp-in types. Distributors can substantially reduce the number of SKUs needed for full TPMS coverage and deliver REDI-Sensor without worrying whether their customers have the programming tools, because REDI-Sensor comes pre-programmed.

Do you need a Redi sensor for tire service?

Tire dealers only need to carry a small supply of REDI-Sensors to handle practically any vehicle in for service. Auto service pros report that programming errors are one of the most time-consuming issues that trip them up on TPMS service. Sometimes their initial programming attempt is not successful and must be redone multiple times.
