I think year specific. My 997.1 is 433 MHz. Part no. 997-606-021-00, sensor, 433MHz.

the OEM Mini sensors I just bought for my daughter's car are also 433 mHz. And yes, the battery is non-replaceable. I have all our car's tires done at a local Discount Tire place, they are exceedingly careful with my wheels and tires. Having a relationship with a tire place is as important as having a relationship with one's physician. It helps.

all the best...

Just ordered a set of 4 Huf (OE manufacturer) with valve stems for $335 from this place.

Any data to support opinion that HUF-Beru ($324/4) are better (last longer) than EON ($144/4) or ORO-TEK ($172/4)? [prices from here]

I would opt for the Huf Beru's over the EON's or Oro TEc's. Was told by a representative that they have had a few issues with the non OEM's on the Euro cars. They sync up then lose connection a month or so laterlater. In addition, the OEM's last longer and have a 3 year warranty.

I would hate to order the non oem tpms and have them go bad prematurely. It's just another cost to RR the tire even if the non oem ones have a warranty.

+1, my sensor batteries died plus I switch wheels back and forth and didn't want to deal with the stupid learning sequences, messages.

If you check your tire pressure frequently just code them out and be done with it all.

If you want to keep them there was a thread about an aftermarket company that makes sensors for much cheaper than OEM. I think they were $150 for a set of 4 then you'll have 40-80 in labor to break the beads and install the new sensors.
