Thanks happen to know the frequency for the 07 Tpms ?

Hey, I tried EVERYTHING to make it work with .2 hoping they fixed it.
Will go to end if earth again in 991 I suppose.

BTW anyone else ever has SC and TC re-activate based in the car figuring out you have a flat tire? NOT TPS based but via some other checksum.

PIWIS can do it along with seat belt lights and chimes. You just need a PIWIS able person to be willing to take liability so don't expect a dealer to do it invoiced.

Mine are safely tucked away, would be nice to disable to get rid of those red lights on the dash... But what the heck! As long as the rev limiter works, I'm happy!

Disable is 3 steps. Unplug the control unit near abs controller. Use piwis to code out the sensor. Then code out the display.

I've had no tpms for a year and no dash lights.

Unsure of the frequency

Thanks! Is RL good or what...

CosmosMpower

Thanks, may just do that. I check tire pressures all the time.

you can use a durametric pro as well

Now I just need to find someone in DFW that has a PIWIS or durametric pro. It appears OEwheels doesn't know which sensors my 07 needs.

if you decide to disable, these are the steps. I watched the PIWIS coding, it's pretty straight forward.

TPMS Disable:
1: First you must actually disconnect the TPMS control unit so that the CAN Controller does not continue to recognize it. The control unit is located in the front trunk next to brake fluid reservoir. Remove and unplug the dome light on the cowling plastic. Remove all of the screws that hold this entire plastic panel in. There are a good number on top by the seal and one on each side by the bottom.
2: Now unplug the control unit it is part number 997 618 103 06, Do not remove it. This way you can always just plug it back it and use it again.
3. Reassemble the front trunk again.
4. Hook up the PIWIS tester to the car via the OBD2 port and do a complete check of all the control units.
5. Select "Gateway" and then "Coding" then ""Required Control Units List". This will list all installed CAN units.
6. Now select "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" and change to " Not Installed" and code it, then exit to the main screen again.
The next steps will code your instrument cluster and to do so will require that you have your engine number, so have it handy, you will find out why.
7. Select "Instrument Cluster" and then "Coding" then "Vehicle Variants".
8. Now select your "Model Year" then "Model", "Roof Version", "Country" (02 is for USA, Puerto Rico). The next item will be "Versions" (553 is USA/Canada).
9. Select your "Individual and exclusive equipment" by highlighting each item that would apply such as: 454-Cruise, 023-Silver Colored Gauge faces etc. DO NOT select 423/483 TPM!!!! This is the TPMS for the cluster and must not be highlighted.
10. Move to the next screen and finish the "Audio and Communication " by highlighting what applies to your car.
11. Next will be the "Wheel Size" and finally it will ask about your engine number.
12. Proceed forward and then Code with F8.

I had Goldcrest disable my TPMS when it was in their shop last year for an alignment & corner balance.

Getting rid of that damn red light was the best $100 I ever spent on a Porsche.

Use your Vin# to determine what frequency ones your car has. Mine were 433mHz.

I know a lot of people have issues with TPMS, but other than the initial problems I had here, mine have been working without issue.

Looked it up on pelican and came up with 997-606-021-01. Looks like oewheels has a matching aftermarket part number so I may try those.

I used these on my 2007 Turbo as well. They were 433 MHz and came up in about 10 miles.

I know this is a common sentiment but I find them helpful on the track. Both of my track wheels have TPMS and I can tell if the tires are overheating (40+ psi) and not to go crazy until I bleed them. I can also see whether the pressures/temps have come up before hammering it down the track.

I had an incident a couple of years ago where I went agricultural at over 100 mph on the back straight at Mid-Ohio - a turbo had blown its coolant lines couple of cars in front of me. Scared the **** out of me but thankfully no crash. When I came back onto the track it felt like the tires had gone flat. But I was able to look at TPMS and see they were fine - tires feeling strange were due to the grass and dirt on the wheels as well as more coolant on the track.

So they can be helpful in certain situations as long as you can put up with the red "Flat Tyre!!" warnings until they heat up.
