My tpmas battery needs replacement. What aftermarket tpms for a 997 turbo do you recommend?

In my experience with aftermarket sensors they suck, unless you can get redi sensors for your car. any of those multi fit sensors are just a waste.

I have been surprised at some sensors from the dealer are cheaper than the aftermarket ones. I would get the dealer a call and see what the price is.

I can probably get you a discount on some oem sensors, shoot me your vin in a pm and I will give the dealer I deal with a call tomorrow

I bought some aftermarket sensors and about 1-3x a week my car says "wheel change?" And i have to "reset" the sensors. If i had to do it again i would buy oem (unfortunately).

I know BERU works with ferraris, I may look at it if I cant a cheaper OEM TPMS. Thanks for the link.

Tire rack versions work great.

I recently bought new wheels and got new Huf sensors, they synchronized quickly and no problems for some months now. Huf is the Porsche OEM supplier. Someone around here suggested battery life might be lower for non-OEM although I find that hard to believe from the OEM supplier.

I have installed two sets of these on my 997.2 with absolutely no issues.

I used Tirerack ones too and they warranty them and were if I recall much cheaper than what the dealer wanted.

I got the ITM Tpms, asked park place how much for installation only, $350. That's $80 a wheel.

I'll just bring it to Discount tires.

Gotta pay the Porsche tax.

And there's a turbo tax on top of the standard Porsche tax, it seems..

damn, thats crazy. $25-$30 max imo.

depending on the machine might not even have to take the tire off.

Ditto - the Huf sensors are OEM, just not with the "Porsche" name on them. Porsche adds their markup just for their name on them.

I double and triple checked with tire rack and you just plug and play. No problems after 2,500 miles on my car.
