ATEQ Launches New Function to Read Tesla BLE Sensors

ATEQ has announced its VT67 will be able to read data from Tesla BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) sensors, such as tire pressure and temperature.* This function will come in handy to technicians, who are encouraged to check the TPMS before working on a vehicle.
We are delighted to confirm that our BLE sensor is compatible with the new function. In fact, the U-Pro Hybrid BLE was the first aftermarket solution to be verified by ATEQ. Being part of the verification process meant we could film a demonstration before its official release. Please see below.
The Tesla vehicles that employ BLE sensors are Model 3 (Oct 2020+), Model S (June 2021+), Model X (Oct 2022+) and Model Y (Oct 2020+).
With almost 1.9 million Tesla vehicles on the road, ATEQ felt it necessary to adapt rapidly to the innovation (as Hamaton did with its BLE sensor).** According to ATEQ, it is the first TPMS tool manufacturer to integrate the technology into its tools.

The U-Pro Hybrid BLE is a direct replacement for the OE sensor manufactured by Sysgration Ltd. Our aftermarket solution, which also employs BLE, is pre-programmed for the above Tesla vehicles. As a result, technicians can save time by skipping the programming step. Furthermore, customers can choose between two metal Clamp-In valves (black or graphite) designed to complement the alloy wheel finish.
*Users can expect the official release to occur by Q1 2023. Subsequently, users must update their tool to obtain the new function.
