Mine from OE Wheels are not working right. Regretting not getting Porsche OEM.

Do you have to use Titan specific stems or can you use others suitable for OEM TPMS?

Curious to know how they're not working right, and which model you went with.

I just went through this myself, for my 2007 C2S. After a lot of research, I was able to find out the following (hopefully helpful) pieces of information:

If you are unclear of what TPMS sensor to buy online, you can ask the dealership to look up the OE part # for the TMPS part by giving them your VIN number. Once you have your OE part number, many of the websites online, including OE Wheels, will identify part compatibility between the OE part and the aftermarket part.

When I was doing this research, I was told by Porsche of Tyson's Corner (Va) that the reason for multiple frequencies on the TPMS sensors is for cars sold in the USA vs outside of the USA. American 997s all use 433 mHz. Not sure if this is true or not, but I thought I'd add this dealership service department feedback to the thread just as an FYI or not. Note: I can't guarantee if this is accurate or not, but my TPMS are 433 mHz.

One final point of clarification: my car's OE TPMS part # was 99760602101. The OE Wheels TPMS product that (hopefully) works for me is UPC #9478792. Cost was $136 (not including S&H). I just placed the order, and will report back once I get them installed. Hope this helps!

for 997-1 OEM TPMS antenna is part # 997 606 101 00 -- 433 MHz which uses sensor OEM part # 997 606 021 01 along with valve OEM part # 955 361 053 00. So 433MHz sensors should work fine on 997-1 cars.

Thanks. Found the OE part number before ordering and confirmed that my car is also 433 (in NZ but car is from the UK).

Parts should be here soon. Looking forward to the error message going away!

My Canadian 07 TT is also 433, per dealer checking the VIN. Will find out on Thursday if the OE sensors will work.

I've had my OEWheel TPMS sensor on for ~11 months now. Only issue has been on a few cold temp days... It took the sensors 5 minutes to register when outside temps are below 20*F. Good thing I live in TX. So far I'm very satisfied with them. I purchased the $170 set.

Put on OE Wheels TPMS on my Canadian 07TT, no issue at all; had dealer install them when swapping tires.

Made by Titan.

Took a couple of weeks for them to ship to Canada though, good thing no duty, for what's worth.

Porsche wanted $1100, I bought them from Tire Rack for about $380 and had the installed locally for about $160, work perfectly

I went the OE Wheels route, too. ~$140 for the sensors, plus $60 from my local tire store to install. Worked great-

I had the Titan sensors (part #9478791) from OEWheels installed on my 2006 C4 at my local tire shop yesterday. The dash warning disappeared after 1.4 miles and the pressures registered at 2.0 miles.

When I ordered, I called and Steve was very helpful. He sent it out with aluminum valve stems instead of the chrome for the same price ($136+$5 shipping). So far I'm very satisfied with the product and the service provided.

I read on Pelican parts that the 997.1 will read 315mhz and 433 mhz. I purchased the huff 315mhz because this is what my VIN indicated according to the Porsche dealership. I also read that all four need to be the same frequency, do not mix frequencies if you are only replacing one. Hope this helps

Allow myself to quote....myself! As a promised follow-up to the above, I just wanted to report back to everyone and let folks know that I installed the above aftermarket Titan (brand) www.oewheelsllc.com TPMS, and they work flawlessly. ~$140 for the TPMS, $360 for the install; I'm happy with an all-in price of $500, especially when compared to the $1300 that the dealership wanted. Two thumbs up to OE Wheels!

I just ordered the 433mhz for my 2006 C2S and they registered within a few miles - did them while I was swapping new tires for the track so no extra charge! I think it was $141 delivered by US Mail so you can't beat the savings.

I had an issue when I tried Titan TPMS. I recently replaced by 07 Porsche Sensors with Titan TPMS and the Sensors randomly show 4-5 psi low in one of the tires. I did re-learn the system multiple times (Old sensor not being there and under inflating and over inflating the tires etc..) and nothing worked. Gonna wait for 1 more week and then planning to return Titan and get Beru OEM sensors. (But I saw other threads wherein Titan TPMS worked for other customers as good as OEM. May be my bad.)

(If anyone encountered the above issue, please share the details for trouble-shooting the same)
