I don't think you need to program with PIWIS, had mine installed at Indy shop. If you try without be sure to write down all the numbers on them so you can get it fixed later if it doesn't work.

Did the same for my 2009 C2 about a year ago when I purchased new tires. Although my car only had ~25K miles on the odometer, I figured that because of age it seemed like the right thing do.
I bought mine from these folks and they easily synchronized after driving just a few miles. Also, at $132 for a full set, it was hard to pass up. BTW, they're made by HUF which Porsche resells with their logo at almost 4X the price.
Here's the link should anyone be interested: https://www.tpmsdirect.com/Porsche_9...008-05-uvs.htm

Thanks for the link, but I noticed the sensors that are are $32 each are for the 997.2 turbo. The Non-turbo are listed for $70 each. Do the Turbo work on the non-turbo?
Discount Tire was quoting me $60 each, but I would rather get the HUF brand.

I don’t have TMPS in my 06, but I wish I did. I might pick up a set of the Huf’s if it doesn’t require a dealer visit to get them going. Could it be done with a Foxwell or something?

You also need the receiver on the car. Since you dont have TPMS, I doubt you have the receiver and associated wiring.

On 997.2... with the correct sensors no need to do anything.

I just went through this exercise. From what I can figure, the IntelliSens sensors are universal parts that get programmed by the vendor (or end user). The other sensors are programmed at the factory. The IntelliSens units allow tire stores, repair shops, etc. to stock one part that then gets programmed to its application. I purchased the IntelliSens units and TPMSdirect programmed them for my application. Caveat - I haven't installed them yet but I expect them to work fine.

For the 997.2 you need not program anything! Just install, drive away and within a couple of miles they will automatically synchronize with the car's TPMS.
How do I know? Because that's what I did with mine on the advice of some forum member. These should work just fine on a 997.2 NON-TURBO https://www.tpmsbargains.com/Huf-Int...m-0912-911.htm
BTW, your so called "factory units" are not since Porsche does not make these sensors. The only thing Porsche does at the factory is install them and that's even questionable since I'm sure that the wheels and tires are supplied by an outside source and Huf seems to be their vendor/supplier for the sensors.
