I found out the hard way as I only bought the sensors (there was nothing in the ads about programming and nothing about what the pad was for). Had they fitted to freshly refurbed wheels, went through the initialising and setting processes numerous times and they wouldn't work. Checked the official Autel site out and found out why.
Thank you . Makes sense now as they were 'universal' and hence needed programming to the car.
