One another note for anyone getting any of the Autel TPMS tools, post some feedback about what tool you purchased and what you think about it overall.

Seems the TM601 is actually cheaper than the TM501. I like the option for keyfob testing in the 501/601 if it actually works.
I got the TS401 and like it so far. Tire pressure checks on the X5 take less than a minute and I don't even have to touch the vehicle. The TS401 does check key fob output.

Yes. For all, I can confirm that the TS401 works perfectly fine with the pressure sensors of an 8/2011 X5 xDrive35d.
