Compatibility between TPMS Clone/Programmers and blank sensors?

[gregsagandauto]

Looking at getting a TPMS programmer that has cloning capabilities. Kinda leaning towards the Pilot 220 simply because is what my major supplier carries for "cheap" ($300) cloning programmer, and I kind of like the things I read about the Pilot sensors; specifically that they are rated up to 130psi. I know only enough about them to be dangerous...
So question one: Anyone have the Pilot 220 and like/dislike things about it?
Question two: what are the chances that the Pilot (or any brand for that fact) will work between other brands of blank sensors.
Any other comments or points for a TPMS programmer newbie?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, From what I know of the Pilot product they are the same as ITM (rebranded) with the same programming tool. I believe that the tool only programs their sensors as they have to be physically connected to do the programming, where EZ Sensor and others are done thru RF. The Bartec and Ateq tools both program all the blank sensors including EZ, Alligator, Dorman, Echlin, and Orange.
