I mounted a set of new wheels and tires to replace my oem, they came with new sensors that will connect but lose connection frequently. What sensors can I put in there to get rid of this constant connect disconnect relearning process?
Great luck here with these programmable made by the OE company HUF. If you have a 997.2 just make sure you select for those years. I just grabbed this link for the 997.1. https://www.tpmsbargains.com/Huf-Int...9-tur-hufm.htm
It is amazing to me how some folks are so **** and mechanically inclined about their beloved cars yet this reply comes up often. TPMS is no different than any other safety feature on a car. It really isn't a PITA if you spend just a little time to understand it, get educated on it and use the proper TPMS for the job. It is only a PITA when people try to cut corners with the system by trying to get cheap no name brand TPMS (usually from Ebay) or TPMS that are not for their year, make and model. It is literally a safety feature that can not only save your life but more important an innocent other driver that does take the time to ensure it is working properly. The good old fashioned tire gauge only works at the start of your drive (as I know this will be the reply to my post). It does nothing for you when you are speeding on down the road.

Soap box dismount.
Coulden't agree more. I monitor my tire pressures constantly because small changes have a big effect on handling.
And as a side benefit, a few years ago, I had a puncture that let air rapidly out of a tire while on the highway. I didn't feel the impact but the TPMS alerted me immediatly that pressure was dropping, and quickly. As I saw the numbers drop I was able to slow down and pull off before I was completely out of pressure and thus riding on (and damaging) my Fikse rims.

Same exact thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Without TPMS, I wouldnt have known I picked up a razor blade on the road and had air rushing out of the tire. I didnt feel or notice anything. I saw the message in my dash and was able to pull over before doing any damage.
In the past couple years I've had 2 flats in my 997 and 2 in my Tesla alone and totally agree TPMS is a nice safety alert feature as well as convenience in regularly monitoring pressures. (Y'll DO regularly check tire pressures, right? I set monthly to-do reminders for that.)
I just replaced the 997's sensors and controller to get the system working again after some aftermarket sensors from a tire shop had failed way prematurely (if they ever worked right.) Not sure what brand the bad ones were.

Anyone recently have their sensors replaced with OEM? I received a quote today from the dealer $600 per tire! What the actual (fill in the blank)!?! Ill be shopping around for sure but curious to know what others have recently paid.
I was ordering the HUF RDE001 sensors (exactly the same as OEM) for my 997.1 Turbo when I got a message from the shop. They advised me to use the newer generation HUF UVS4050 sensors (433 MHz in Europe) which are multiprotocol, have a longer battery life expectancy, are rated at 300 km/h and at € 37,- p. piece much cheaper. Unlike de OEM/RDE001 sensors they need to be programmed for a specific car type, which the shop did for free based on my VIN number before sending them to me. They can be programmed for any 997. They work fine without any issue.
When I bought the car TPMS was disabled because the battery's of the original sensors died and the owner didn't want to pay the Porsche dealer. After mounting the news sensors with the new tires I reconnected the TPMS module, and I was surprised I automatically got a message in the display that the system was learning........ although the TPMS module, gateway module and display module where still coded out! When the learning was finished, no light, no messages, nothing. As it was before. But I was able to see the ID's of all 4 sensors memorized in the TPMS module with a OBD tool. So the sensors where recognized and learned correctly.
Then the TPMS module, gateway and display module where coded in. This was the first time I could see TPMS function in the menu, the TPMS warning light on together with the message "TPMS Inactive". After driving for I few miles a could read the actual pressure in the display. Great.
I don't want to drive without TPMS. It's a guardian angle, especially on high speeds on the German Autobahn.

I agree, I dont want to drive without the TPMS especially after having picked up a broken razor blade in my right rear tire several months back. The TPMS alerted me right away of rapidly dropping air pressure and I was able to quickly pull over before doing any damage. Thanks for the sensor suggestion, Ill certainly look into it.
