Wanted TPMS's for my 09

It's fixed! I had booked the Mustang in at the Ford dealer here for this Friday to have the TPMS's put in that I got from joez ryde along with the new bands that I got from AM. As most of you know I had bought the valve stem replacements from AM and had them put into the 2014 rims I had bought by the Ford dealer. Ford could not get them to match the car. So back to the band style and hope that everything works out. My nextdoor neighbor Jim was over on Monday and I was telling him about my issues with the TPMS's. He works for Canadian Tire as a automotive service writer. He said that there is a young hot shot rookie working in the shop and that he could possibly fix it for me. I had my doubts. Jim called over and talked to him about my problem. The kid (maybe 20 years old) told Jim to have me bring it over with used TPMS's. Jim said to me stop by Tims and pick him up a coffee, so I did. I get there with coffee in hand and this young lad meets me with a smile. Takes my keys pulls it in and gets to work. He takes the old sensors to the counter and gets this handheld device and starts to read the sensors. He then goes to the Mustang puts the handheld up the tire valve stem and it goes beep, he did all four. when he finished that, he plugged the handheld into the cars computer. He turned the key on and off a few times hit the brake petal and the cars lights started to flash and the horn went off a few times. He turned the key back off, unplugged the handheld. Started the car and said he would be right back. He took the car for a drive came back and handed me the keys and said it's fixed. I asked how much and he said no charge. The AM valve stems took the programing. Why couldn't the Ford dealer have done that? I called back to the Ford Dealer and cancelled my appointment and told them that it was fixed. I gave Jim $20.00 to give to the young lad for his time. I'm a happy camper again, no more dash warning lights. Now I have the spare TPMS's and new bands on the shelf in the garage, just in case.
