I have a Cx30 which hasn’t TPMS, my versión didn’t came with this function and I’m looking for integrate this feature natively. If I buy any of the mentioned solutions, do I have to buy something else in order to incorporate to my Mazda’s computer system?

That is very odd. It is a required safety feature here in the U.S. but I guess that isn't the case everywhere.

I have some ideas as to how this might be able to be done, but since all of our vehicles are already equipped with the system there isn't a need to know. The TPMS system would have supporting software in more than just one module. At the minimum the ABS, Body Computer, and the Instrument Cluster would need to know that the vehicle is equipped with TPMS. When modules are programmed there is a process to put in the "As Built Data". This data is published by the manufacturer and available to shops for servicing the vehicles when a module needs to be replaced. The normal process has the scan tool pull the as built information from the original module (as long as it is in the car and can communicate) and it automatically loads it into the replacement. When that fails the system can usually find the information on the flash programming site and either have the scan tool load it automatically or it can be entered manually. The as built data would be what tells the modules software what options the vehicle is built with. To add this to the vehicle you would have to come up with the appropriate as built information for every module that is part of the TPMS system.

If Mazda sells an add on kit it would include instructions for how to go about doing everything I just mentioned, otherwise a technician would have to figure this all out on the fly.

Like I said it would be possible, but it certainly would not be easy.

A better option might be to add a stand-alone TPMS system to your vehicle, not one that is integrated into the vehicle. Stand alone systems would have a receiver/display that would be put into the vehicle and sensors installed into the wheels. Here is just one example, there are many more.

any luck how to activate the TPMS? Same here indonesia mazda 3 come without TPMS. I already buy TPMS SENSOR, but still dont know how activate the TPMS . Need MDARS? Or any else??
 
Does anyone here have any experience with (Mazda) TPMS sensors, specifically what would I look for in a sensor to work with the CX-30. Are all 315 Mhz sensors the same? With two sets of sensors, will the system need reprogramed each time I change wheels?
I intend to buy new summer wheels and tires. I will use my OE wheels to mount dedicated snow tires. The new wheels will require new sensors, the OE's will retain what they have.
2024 CX30
I bought set of winter tires on a new wheels with sensors installed and pre programmed. I put new set on and after short drive it gave me TPMS failure, have a dealer inspect the car. I contacted the place where I bought new wheels and they sent me a machine to clone the OEM sensors to a new ones.
I did it following instructions, and everything went well. It cloned factory sensors IDs to a new ones.I waited 19+minutes, drove for half an hour and still have malfunction message on my dash display. New sensors are Max 5th generation and are said to be compatible with CX 30. Max programing tool they rented me out has option to select CX30. I don't know what could be wrong here?
On my Honda I have no issues at all with swapping between two sets of wheels.

I don't recall the thread that post was from ( surprise, it was this thread :) ), but I had posted following it, that I installed new sensors in the new wheels and the vehicle paired itself, no programming.
My OE set is used in the winter and it pairs with those when reinstalled each year.

I have a 2024 CX-50 and found this thread on google, I have the exact same problem. Max sensor gen 5. I also got the tool, did the cloning which said it was successful but did not work. The online place I bought from had me go to a local tire shop who is an authorized Max sensor dealer. The tire shop said the newer Mazdas often don't work with aftermarket sensors and recommend I switch to OEM. The website I ordered from is allowing me to send the Max sensors back for refund and also covering the cost of the extra mounting and balancing since they recommended something that isn't compatible. Try talking to the place you bought them and see if they can help you out.

My local shop Installed Autel sensors on my CX 30 winter wheels and they used OBD to program them in the vehicle. It works 100% Max gen 5 I installed at the first place didn't work. Mazda dealership asked a fortune to instal OEM so I passed.

Finally I installed Autel sensors in my local shop, and they work like a charm. The place I bought Max gen 5 reimbursed me for the sensors and installation of the new ones at the local tire shop. Now I have to wait till spring to se if OEM sensors on original Mazda wheels will work without need to reprogram.

Your Mazda will recognize the sensor change without the need to reprogram or clone. My summer wheels have Orange Electric sensors that the vehicle recognized from the initial install and the vehicle recognizes my OE sensors when I swap back for the winter.
