The new ALCAR Plug&Drive sensor generation

The new ALCAR Sensor Plug&Drive is already pre-programmed and ready for immediate use. This saves car and tyre workshops additional programming. With only six variations, the sensor type known by its abbreviation P&D offers 96% car coverage* in the European market and requires neither programming nor configuration. This sensor’s slogan is simple: Plug and drive. However, the ALCAR P&D sensor is also freely programmable, and together with the ALCAR Universal Sensor features amongst the currently fastest freely programmable sensors on the market.

*Relates to all car models starting in 2018

All new ALCAR sensors feature strongly improved battery life by means of smart battery management and high-speed approvals (Vmax) for clamp-in models of up to 300 km/h. The new ALCAR SENSOR generation guarantees OE quality. Tested and certified by the TÜV SÜD under very high requirements and tough conditions.

More flexibility for your business

The new “ALCAR Sensor Universal” in return offers maximum flexibility through highest car coverage close to 99 percent*. The Universal sensor is amongst the currently fastest freely programmable sensors on the market. It has the additional advantage that programming can be conducted using many independent TPMS workshop tools. The Universal sensor is available in four different types of valves: clamp-in silver, clamp-in black, clamp-in grey as well as snap-in black.

ALCAR SENSOR BLE FOR ALL TESLA VEHICLES

The new ALCAR SENSOR BLE works 100 percent identically to the Tesla OE sensor, requiring no programming. Just like with the OE sensor, the system relearns the sensors within the first minutes of driving. Hence, there is no need for a TPMS device for programming or relearning in order to activate the sensors. The ALCAR SENSOR BLE for TESLA is available in the article number S6A108 with a silver valve, article number S6A108B with a black valve and article number S6A108G with a grey valve.

The ALCAR SENSOR BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy technology) communicates via Bluetooth with the control electronics of the respective Tesla car and can be used for all Tesla models.

The cost-efficient OE replacement sensor

The new “ALCAR Sensor Single” is a pre-programmed OE replacement sensor. Absolutely identical to OE sensors, 100 percent reliable and ready for immediate use. Easy to fit for the most common car models in Europe, the Single sensor is a cost-efficient alternative for all car workshops. The fitted units and volume business of workshops is intended to be the main area of application.

Extensive OE sensor range

ALCAR rounds off its sensor product range with the most common and important OE sensors. In our webshops you will find a wide range of OE sensors featuring the brands Schrader, Continental/VDO, HUF/BH-Sens and Pacific.

The THREE basic relearn procedures for TPMS sensors

Auto Learn – The vehicle can learn new IDs automatically. This requires only driving the car in order to relearn the sensors. In some cases (e.g. BMW) an initialization via the board computer is required. It is still important to determine the condition of the sensors with a TPMS tool beforehand.

Tip: Leave the vehicle locked for about 20 minutes so that the system can re-calibrate. This can be very important! The vehicle possibly may not search for new sensors if the changing of the wheels took place too fast. The relearn procedure can take between 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the car model) during which we advise you to drive at a minimum speed of 20 km/h.

OBDII – A TPMS tool with an OBD adapter is necessary to program new sensor IDs into the vehicle's electronic control unit. New IDs can be programmed without driving the vehicle.

Trouble-shooting tips: Transfer the new sensor IDs via OBD and switch ignition to OFF and then to ON (engine off) and wait for 5 minutes. In the meantime, scan the sensors again using your TPMS tool. After that, drive your car for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Stationary – Use a TPMS tool with the vehicle in relearn mode. New IDs can be stored in the vehicle's electronic control unit without driving the vehicle. Set the vehicle in relearn mode and scan the sensors with your TPMS tool.

This relearn method is very common among U.S. models, and can also be found in Europe, e.g. at Opel (Chevrolet) or Ford.

Tip: Set the vehicle in relearn mode via the car menu or, if applicable, by simultaneously pressing the key’s lock/unlock button in relearn mode. Prior to this, pull the handbrake.

TPMS

Bien que le groupe ALCAR soit encore souvent considéré comme un spécialiste des jantes, le groupe de produits TPMS est tout aussi important pour nous. Depuis, nous sommes devenus un acteur important sur le marché européen du TPMS, en partie grâce aux partenariats solides avec les fabricants d'équipement d'origine et les principaux fabricants tels que BARTEC. Sur la base de notre expertise, nous vous proposons le support et les produits avec lesquels vous réussissez sur le marché. 4 éléments sont au cœur de cela:

Simplicité
Le TPMS peut être assez compliqué. Chez ALCAR, nous garantissons la simplicité et la rapidité des processus dans l'atelier. Choisissez le capteur ALCAR librement programmable et vous pouvez exploiter 99% du parc avec 1 type de capteur. Nous fournissons immédiatement la procédure d'apprentissage correcte, mais vous la trouverez bien sûr également dans l'atelier via l'unité de programmation ALCAR TECH600 (fabriquée par Bartec). Si vous vous concentrez sur l'efficacité, les variantes Plug & Drive du capteur ALCAR sont le bon choix, vous n'avez plus besoin de les programmer.

Qualité
Vous voulez vendre de bons produits et aucun problème avec votre client et dans l'atelier. Les problèmes TPMS sont synonymes de coûts élevés et d'irritation. Chez ALCAR, nous comprenons parfaitement cela et nous ne prenons aucun risque. Nos ALCAR Sensor sont de qualité OE (notre partenaire est un fabricant OE européen) et sont testés TÜV.

Abordabilité
Le marché du TPMS est un marché très concurrentiel. Dans le cadre du niveau de qualité susmentionné avec la certification TÜV, nous garantissons le meilleur prix possible. Là où nous voyons également des opportunités de vous offrir une remise supplémentaire, nous saisissons cette opportunité; pensez à nos offres graduées.

Compatibilité
L'un des principaux arguments de vente du capteur ALCAR est qu'il peut gérer presque tous les appareils de programmation courants. Peut-être avez-vous des unités de programmation de différentes marques au sein de votre organisation / réseau, alors il est important que les capteurs soient compatibles avec tous ces appareils. Si vous avez des sociétés de leasing ou des gestionnaires de flotte parmis votre clientèle, la compatibilité est essentielle; En cas d'urgence, le conducteur peut se rendre partout en Belgique avec ses capteurs TPMS pour le service et l'entretien.
