Most of the issues you read about on this forum where people have to do some kind of programming (or think they need to) are just situations where they bought the wrong sensors.
On an ‘09, when you buy the right ones, your car will recognize them within a mile or so on your first drive.
Most of the confusion around TPMS on these cars comes from two issues:
1) Porsche changed sensors occasionally, sometimes there are two or three sensors in one generation of car.
2) Many of the vendor sites have confusing or sometimes just plain wrong application information. It’s easy to get steered to the wrong sensor.
I have an ‘09. I’ve ordered the wrong sensor before because the listing on a site was wrong. But at least in ‘09, once you get it right, the car doesn’t need any help picking them up.
Also, you don’t need to spend hundreds for these. I, and lots of people here, run discount aftermarket TPMS and have had no issues with them.
Bought 4 OEM sensors.
They are being installed today.
May be a day or two before I get the wheels back on the car to test.
Currently running the lovely plasti-dipped plum crazy wheels I typically use on my GT3.

UPDATE
I had 4 X HUF TPM txmitters installed. The most current revision per SSF, ~ $80 / each
It works!

I just bought a set of these for $109.80 for all 4 shipped to me for my 2009 C4S. Installed them yesterday with no issues, took about 5-10 miles before they registered. I can try and report back in a year or two if they are still working. But for less than 1 OEM sensors, it's hard to beat.

The site doesn't have a lot of details on them.
Who was the manufacturer, and what is the sensor part number?

Thanks.
Apologies, but I didn't write that down and they are now inside the car. They have a stamp for iM on them I know and they are part IM3502 which I ordered, but I did not write down the part number printed on what was sent.
At ~$110 for a set of 4 with no programming, that's a very good price.
Karl.
Correct. The website link I sent states the Vendor is IM and the part number is 3502. I thought you were asking if there were additional markings. So far so good for $110!
