I'd suggest that you order the senders from TPMS so that you have them on hand. They ship pretty quickly. If Sullivan can program the senders already on your wheels, then return the extras.
Might save yourself a third trip to Sullivan Tire.
Just make sure that the senders are returnable if not mounted...shoot, you wouldn't even need to open the box if the programming worked...
Sullivan Tire presumably programmed them, but the car wasn’t there to make sure they were conversing with each other. Possible the program didn’t take, or they didn’t really program at all. If this rabbit hole goes any deeper, I will follow your advice and get my own TPMS units. If Sullivan can’t get theirs to work, they will have to install the new ones. Hoping I don’t have to pull the rubber off. I went out of my way to install the wheels myself to ensure no mishaps. Thanks, will report back to you.
I just installed my 18" wheels with Nokians and so far, my TPMS hasn't taken. Got the same error message, changed the wheel configuration twice, now trying another learning session. Hope it takes tomorrow on a longer drive.

Well that’s not good, sorry to hear. All above my pay grade, but hopefully it’s simply a matter of reprogramming. If Sullivan Tire hits a wall, I was hoping to pivot and use your TPMS units so please keep us posted.
No joy today. Thinks about it for a bit, then goes to error reporting...
Same here. No love at Sullivan Tire yesterday. They’re clearly struggling and we’re unsure what frequency I needed. I showed them a photo of the TPMS units from this thread, but they don’t trust the photos and want to see the actual TPMS unit on the 21” stock wheels. I’m heading back there on Tuesday to give this another try.
The good news is that if their TPMS units don’t work, they’re going to buy the units from Porsche and reinstall them on their dime.
When new sensors are fitted (and system reset in instrument cluster menu, by choosing correct tire size) , they should register after a short drive driving over 25 km/h. No coding needed.
Make sure you have exactly the correct part number!
Hi All - Anyone know if there are TPMS sensors that will work both on 958.1 and 958.2? I see dual band aftermarket sensors out there but I understand 958.1 and 958.2 are both 433Mhz but with totally different sensors. I am buying new sensors for my 20" RS Spyders and just thinking ahead a little - in case I want to sell them to a 958.2 owner.
Just a quick update on my 2014 GTS. Sullivan Tire spent about 45 minutes programming the new Dill TPMS units, and all is good! They peeled back the tire on one of my 21” wheels to verify the TPMS unit. The TPMS light was off, but as I drove out of the shop the TPMS light came on again. A quick learning session and the pressures were properly displayed within two minutes. All is good!

It’s possible that the Dill units that Sullivan Tire uses might work. They’re universal TPMS units that need to be programmed for each car. You’ll probably have to reprogram the units, but I suspect they will work with both models.

That's great news!
I need to drop off a wheel at my local Sullivan to have a new tire mounted (for son's A4, my old autocross sled) and will ask them about programming my TPMS. I'm starting to get tired of the error message in the cluster.
Searching TPMS threads I came across this one. I've got a busted off valve stem and having difficulty getting a tire shop to replace the stem without the sensor. Guy showed me what they wanted to use
for $99 plus mount/balance and it's a non removable stem to the sensor. I can get the mobile tire guys to come and they claim they can fix it for $50 flat but I have no idea what they'll actually come up with when the tech gets there. Porsche charges what, $25 for the stem alone. I'm not sure what to do unless I schedule the mobile and see what comes of it.
