Default 07 Blue TPMS Programming

I got a set of take offs (Same truck as mine) with 3k on tires. I am trying to reprogram the TPMS and I can get it to start the programming, but I can figure why it isn't seeing the sensors. In a posting someone stated something about a magnet. Any idea what that is?

Thanks All

I was told on some vehicles you need a programmer tool that cost 400 bux. Most tire shops and your dealer will have it and will train your sensors for you for a small fee. I need to buy them for my rims still but for now I'll just have to ignore the light on my dash.

Tried everything, I am going to order one of the programmers. I stopped by the dealer, they want $120 to reprogram it. I am going to buy one used. I guess I could always resell it after I am done with it... Thanks for all the help.!.!. You guys are awesome!

Go to a tire shop like kal-tire or fountain tire. They should be way cheaper. Dealerships will always charge more.
