It should be possible to sniff/wiretap the communication between an Autel and a car, make an Arduino-based device to plug into the car and the laptop (<$50 budget) and send the same commands (with different sensor IDs) to reprogram the car.

Pros:
+ Much cheaper than Autel, especially for a one time thing
+ Can reuse the device for another project (e.g. data acquisition for RaceChrono)

Cons:
- Someone needs to reverse engineer it (I can do that, but don't see an incentive yet)
- Users will need basic programming/soldering skills
- You'll need to take a photo of the inside half of each sensor to record the IDs, vs Autel that can read IDs even if the sensor is already covered by the tire
