Prema is proud to announce the launch of an own-branded TPMS programming app for its U-Pro Hybrid NFC sensor on the App Store.* APP BENEFITS - Rapid Programming Program the sensor in one tap - as quickly as making a contactless payment. - Zero Interference Do not worry about disturbing other sensors while programming. NFC works over ultra-short distances. - Two Ways to Program Program the sensor to a specific vehicle protocol or enter an existing OE sensor ID. The Manual ID option enables users to skip the relearn process as the ID (in the ECU) is unchanged. NEW FEATURES - Relearn Type Discover the type of relearn procedure a vehicle uses (auto relearn, OBD, etc.) and what it involves. - Favorites Add vehicles you program most often to your favorites and access them quicker than selecting the make and model each time. - Automatic Updates Always have the latest coverage at your fingertips. The vehicle database automatically updates whenever you open the app.** - Offline Usage No internet? No problem! The app runs smoothly even without a connection. In this instance, it will draw on the last database downloaded. * Available for the iPhone 7 or newer with a minimum of iOS 15. ** Mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection is required.
