Reliable Signal Transmission
Features:
• Optimized RF antenna design
• Stable wireless communication
• Transmission power: 5-8 dBm
Durable Rubber Valve Design
The rubber valve structure provides:
• Better sealing performance
• Reduced air leakage risk
• Strong durability for daily driving conditions
3. What Vehicles Does It Support?
LAUNCH TSENSOR-05S supports passenger vehicles equipped with 315MHz or 433MHz TPMS systems.
Compatible vehicle brands may include:
• Audi
• BMW
• Mercedes-Benz
• Volkswagen
• Toyota
• Honda
• Ford
• Chevrolet
• Nissan
• Hyundai
• Kia
• Lexus
• Mazda
• Subaru
• Volvo
• Jeep
• Other passenger vehicles using compatible TPMS systems
Supported System:
• Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Vehicle Year Coverage:
The actual supported vehicle years depend on the vehicle model, TPMS configuration, and LAUNCH TPMS tool software database.
Compatible LAUNCH Devices:
• LAUNCH Creader TPMS 5011 V2
• Other compatible LAUNCH TPMS programming tools
Note:
For Creader TPMS 5011 V2, TPMS software needs to be upgraded to V10.54 and CRT5011E client needs to be upgraded to V1.50.
- Not compatible with indirect TPMS systems (estimates pressure via wheel‑speed signal without physical in‑wheel sensors)
- Not intended for heavy‑duty trucks, coaches, construction machinery, motorcycles or ATVs
- Cannot replace special Bluetooth TPMS sensors for Tesla (requires TSENSOR‑B Bluetooth‑type sensor)
- Not applicable for external aftermarket stick‑on TPMS kits
- Performance degrades or fails under sustained temperature above 125℃, heavy impact or deep water immersion
- Works only with official LAUNCH TPMS programming tools; incompatible with third‑party brands such as Autel and Xhorse
- Mandatory separate‑purchase hardware: LAUNCH Creader TPMS 5011 V2 / CRT5011E TPMS programming device
- Mandatory software‑version requirements:
- For Creader TPMS 5011 V2: TPMS software must be upgraded to V10.54 or higher
- For CRT5011E: Client APP must be upgraded to V1.50 or higher to enable 4‑sensor simultaneous‑programming function
- No sensor activation code, hardware lock or annual license fee; unlimited reprogramming available out‑of‑box
- Rubber‑valve version fits standard wheel rims directly; no extra adapters required for regular installation
- The TPMS sensor is passive RF hardware without on‑board firmware. All programming logic runs inside the matched LAUNCH TPMS tool software.
- Tool‑software supported platforms: Windows PC and Android‑based LAUNCH service devices.
- Only official LAUNCH TPMS application is supported; third‑party TPMS software cannot communicate with this sensor.
- Built‑in 2nd‑generation SENASIC SNP739D81CLE chip with optimized LF communication protocol.
- No upgradable firmware stored inside the physical sensor; zero sensor‑related update cost.
- Vehicle‑model database and protocol updates for CRT5011 / CRT5011E tools are permanently free. No annual‑subscription or expiry limits for official database upgrades.
- Standard manufacturer hardware warranty: 12 months counted from original purchase date.
- Warranty covers factory defects of internal circuitry, RF antenna and built‑in battery under normal working conditions.
- Warranty excludes damage caused by tire impact, violent disassembly, water ingress, high‑temperature exposure, unauthorized teardown and natural battery depletion.
- 30‑day return service (buyer bears return shipping for non‑quality issues); lifetime text‑based online technical support.
