I just put a set on my spare wheels/tires. The Titans come with chrome, but from OE you can order black stems. They don't cost much.

cool flash

Installing these should not cost more than 0,5 hr of labour extra (for all 4 together!).

I used to run a tire shop some twenty years back (when these tpms didnt exist) and based on my tire mounting knowledge and a video from autogem (manufacturer of isensors) it's a quick and easy install.

Dont let these shops fool you and overpay!

Hey guys,

I just received my TMPS form OEWheels (the cheapest ones, EON) and noticed they are not marked Front-Left-Right and Rear-Left-Right.
Will the system automatically recognize their positions?
(997.1 Turbo)

Yes it will.

Get this. Ordered a set of the Huff from Oewheels. Take a rather long time to arrive, tracking says they were in one place for 6 days. Finally show up, the package is wrapped in the post office "We're Sorry we damaged your mail" plastic and only two sensors are in the package.
Call O.E.W. they tell me not their problem and to make a claim with the USPS. Go to post office guy at counter tells me there is no insurance on the package so no claim can be made. He gives me a number to call that is to the lost mail center, they ask for a description of what is lost and say there is a remote possibility that they will turn up.
Call O.E.W. back, next guy I talk to says its not their fault the post office damaged the package and maybe they can sell me two more at cost. What utter bull****. Still waiting to hear back from a manager, but I can promise I'm never doing business with them again.

The local indy up here wants $800 for aftermarket TMPS. From what I see Titan is the seller not the brand. For those of you that had success can you tell us what brand they were? (Huf Beru, EON, etc.) Thanks

Had similar issue on my 07 C2. Finally resolved TPMS randomly losing sensor signal and resetting due the Service Due light being on. Once the Service interval was reset by local indi shop for the 60,000 mile service recently done in my garage, the problem solved.

I bought the Huf TPMS from OE Wheels for my 997.2S. They arrived quickly and worked first time. When I change wheels, they synch within a mile. Great product.

Beru was the original TPM supplier to Porsche when the 997 left the factory - wheel sensor, antenna and control unit. Huf bought out Beru a few years ago and continues to supply Porsche TPM components under their new corporate name.

Huf announcing the acquisition of Beru: http://www.huf-group.com/companies/h...onics-bretten/

Original TPM Control unit made by Beru, located near the brake booster in the frunk:


Original TPM Antenna made by Beru (one in each wheel well behind the plastic liner):


Latest Huf built TPM sensor located inside each wheel. There are no Porsche numbers on this version, just the Huf logo and the Huf part number RDE001 for the US market. The Porsche part numbered version sold as original equipment also has this same Huf part number on it RDE001.


So what's the most reliable and least expensive solution? Buy Huf brand wheel sensors, part number RDE001, instead of the Porsche part numbered stamped versions. They are exactly the same as the Porsche original equipment version without the Porsche part number for the 997.1. You should be able to find them for about $80 each or so online. I haven't checked Huf part numbers for the 997.2 but they should be the same.

Companies like Titan, Eon, and others make compatible TPM sensors to the original Beru/Huf ones. They are much cheaper than Huf, and extremely cheap compared to Porsche. If you go this route buy and have them installed locally so that your local tire store will fix it if you have a problem.

getting ready to install Huf TPM sensors on my new wheels. How does the car know which wheel is which? Separate antenna for each corner?

semicycler

Yes. There are four antennas total, one attached in each wheel well behind the plastic wheel well liner. It reads the signal sent from the TPM transmitter inside the wheel attached at that same corner. Total tranmission distance is measure in inches as the mounting locations allow for the TPM transmitter to pass underneath the antenna as the wheel rotates.

I am looking for a set of TPMS, looking at OE wheels, for those who bought the EON brand TPMS, how are they holding up?

tom030

I bought a set of the EON-3502 for my 2009 about a year ago. I installed them on a second set of wheels when I bought some dedicated a/x---track tires. I had some problems until I went through the setup protocol and followed the instruction that said get them at least 100 feet away from the original set of tire sensors. I also designated them as snow tires. Zero probems since.

I use alligator sensit brand - they are german. $249/set shipped with 3 options on the metal high speed stems - silver, black or gunmetal grey.

Anyone knows which 315MHz aftermarket TPMS sensors (ITM, Eon, etc.) will work as replacement sensors for a 2006 Porsche 997 Turbo (which currently uses Porsche original sensor part numbers 99760602301 or 99760602302)? Or only replacement sensor that will work are the Huf Beru RDE004 (which are the identical OEM sensors as the 99760602301 and 99760602302)?

Any experience or thoughts will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
