Just finished soldering together my TPMS kit...
Plugged it in, and it found the device, and installed fine...
Ran TPMS Doctor, and it says device status online, but with the sensors sitting in a box, are they dormant?
Do they need a pressure/temp change for it to work?
It's showing raw data when I plug it in though...

Hope I didn't bugger it with my soldering!!

Thanks

No, they are still in the box (the stems)...
Do you mean they have to be taught before I cut up the IC board?
I hope I can "learn" them after soldering the board together (CF plugin?)!

The sensors are sleeping when there is not great pressure on them. They wont transmit so you wont see them on the pc. When you mount them on your tires, you can start learning them by decreasing or increasing pressure, following the instructions of the software of course.

Does the TPMS Doctor have the learning feature, or do I have to use the CF plugin?

I've read and followed this thread from nearly the beginning...
I've only now got the hardware, and this thread is now 34 pages long!!
To try and look something up by going thru all the pages again seems like quite the undertaking, wouldn't you agree?
It took me 20 minutes just to find the download link for TPMS Dr.!
But hey, thanks for your help anyway...

The CF Plugin comes with a manual that Wolfgang compiled, so it will have most/all of the info you need.

Let us know if you have any problems, and we will gladly assist.

I don't think the latest plugin works with RC1 does it?

It does, after a small registry fix.....see Post #61 and download and apply the registry fix.

Once that is done, you need to manually assign the TPMS button inside CF setup.

Then all works as in previous version - use Aura skin.....

I know this is maybe a dumb question, but on the board is jumper 3 supposed to be together? Like soder wise? I noticed in Robby's picture of the board its together.... and the one I recieved from Jueve is also together...... Is this correct? Also what is the easiest way to sepearte what I need from the third eye kit? Aslo when sodering jumper 1, do I have to remove that tiny diode or soder with it on there?

PS: Thanks LYHTSPD, I got the 3rd eye kit in the mail today!!!!!!!!!!
