TPMS Reset Tool

Has anyone tried the EL50448 TPMS reset tool available on Amazon on a 2020 model? If not this one - then a different model thats proven?
Thanks

Disco, I might be totally wrong, but I don't think the 2020 models use direct pressure sensors in the wheels. I'm pretty sure the TPMS is an "indirect" system that has the BCM monitoring the rotation rate of the wheels and if one is significantly different than the other three, it reports it as being under/overinflated. If I'm right, this tool would be useless. And, you reset the system by simply accessing a setting in the vehicle information system once you have corrected the tire's pressure. Look in your owner's manual for the procedure.

Yea, went through the manual and it’s a rather convoluted process which in part reflects what others have had to do. Hit the 4xways three times, then start with front left and release air until you get a beep to indicate it’s been detected, then repeat for the others.
