The numbers are the same? (look at use also).
I believe they do work.
My aftermarket search has resulted in one product for all 997.1 cars, OEM is beru.

As in 'use also' the valve !
Valve stays the same , TPMS sensor is different part number.
But of course they could work, I have no idea but from your link it seems they would.

There's a reason Suncoast asks for the VIN when ordering becasue the sensors do differ between model years.

Why would sensors be different in a 997.1 TT ('07-'09) ?

I have pretty much finalized a deal on a set of OEM TT wheels from an '09, so am I looking for an issue here with my '07 not recognizing the TPMS from an 09?

Did you see Nick's link, it's for aftermarket TPMS sensors and they list one part for all years. So although Porsche changed the sensor for some dark reason, the frequency should be the same. I would risk it seeing the info from Nick.
Worst case is exchanging the senors. I have done this several times with tires mounted. Not a big deal ! Good luck !!

For what it's worth. I bought wheels with TPMS from a 2010 turbo. Turns out they are not compatible with my 2009 C4S. Verified by the dealer, different part #.
Good luck.

It probably won't work 'coz you are going from 997.2 ('10) to 997.1 ('09) which surely could be different part numbers as they are different model years. I am talking 997.1 ('09) to 997.1 ('07).

I am sure as long as they are from the same model designations, they should be fine.

I have looked into aftermarket ones because I feared I had to change mine, and was looking to save some $. Nowhere in my research did I come across mention that the .1 model has different frequencies.
I will ask Skand, my favorite expert on the issue, who fixed the issue with my car, to chime in.
