Hamaton Inc developed a free of charge app to configure and program Hamaton’s universal Hybrid NFC sensors with NFC technology (Near-Field-Communication). NFC programming is a fast and user-friendly alternative to TPMS diagnostic tools, avoiding the possibility of any user errors due to interference. Hamaton’s app can program the NFC sensors with any protocol to cover the chosen vehicle. New vehicles will automatically be added to the app whilst connected to the internet. Follow these simple steps to get started: 1. Ensure NFC is enabled on your device. 2. Open the app and choose Make, Model and Year of the chosen vehicle. 3. Tap on ‘Scan Sensor’ and position the phone on top of the NFC target on the packaging or alternatively on the sensor housing.
