Here is how that specific scenario would play out:
  1. Download current sensor ids via OBDII into the ATEQ tool
  2. Mount the used set of wheels to the vehicle and have the new set of sensors programmed at the dealer
  3. Download this new set of sensors via OBDII into the tool

Once the above is completed, you can swap the two sets of wheels back and forth whenever you like.

Yes, I totally understand that is the way to do it; the point I was trying to make clear for everyone here was that a person with that particular, yet common, scenario will initially require additional equipment from a dealer or tire shop to establish the IDs. The thought it to make it understood that, in that scenario, a person cannot do it all simply by buying this product alone. That is all.
