Wouldn’t this also depend on the model year? Read the owner manual for more info.
Our 2021 Mazda CX5 TPMS seems to be fundamentally different than our 2014 TPMS head unit.
Our 2021 will learn the new location/identities in 10-15 minutes and/or 10 minutes of driving, not unlike my 2006 Acura.
That being said, for cars with less sophisticated TPMS and only 4 TPMS memories such as my 2019 WRX, I use the ATEQ quick change unit which has memory for both winter and summer tire TPMS units plus a spare, and can do this for up to 4 different vehicles.
You plug unit into the OBD port and upload the TPMS identities with push of a button.
Otherwise everything else is manual. You have to drag and drop individual TPMS locations to the desired location every time you rotate Part worn Tyres Keighley…I do this on my Windows computer through the ATEQ app which you can tell has its in the 2000’s but still works on Windows 11.
You also have to get the individual TPMS identities for each of your winter wheels, but since I bought everything from Tire Rack, that info was provided. But any mechanic should be able to do the same with a TPMS interrogator.
i have used this ATEQ Quick Change unit for years, and i think ATEQ has since come out with an upgraded model.

I would point out that not all TPMS sensors will work with all vehicle systems.
In fact, some brand sensors are flat out not compatible with certain vehicle brands.
I have found a few shops in the past few years where not all of their parts personnel/technicians were aware of this.
