I just ordered a set of these, also off eBay for $60 a set. Got them installed when I replaced the rear tires. Never had TPMS since I've owned the car, so I wasn't sure it would work, but a few miles down the road all 4 registered, and I'm in business.

Thanks Derek!

Nice!

This was a great deal. Success!

When I had the Conti DWS06 installed last week, I had the Orotek TPMS sensors installed at the same time. Like everyone else said, took a few miles of driving then they started reporting. Good thing too since the installers didn't put enough air in the rears! Promptly got flat tire warnings due to low psi in the rear. I think it was 8 psi low and that was enough to trigger the ****-me-off light.

Just checking...is this the sensor?

50 miles later mine still aren't registering, although it's been mostly shorter trips (longest about 8 miles). I have awful luck with these gambles.

May take a few more.

I purchased an after market set for my S6 TPMS back a few months ago - finally synced up and haven't had issues. Took about 100 miles IIRC.

I bought these based on the advice in this thread. $60. Just had all 4 installed in my 06 CTTS when I swapped of winter tires for new all-seasons. The Discount Tire dude said he had never heard of these so cheap. He also said they come from the box unactivated so the batteries don't run down. They activate by filling the tires, then letting the air out. Then, when you reinflate, they should be activated. Discount verified they were activated with their handheld device. My Porsche started reading them about 10 miles later, them they went off, then appeared again a few miles into my next trip later that day. Working consistently now.

you might try jacking up your truck, letting the air out, then inflating. Maybe yours weren't activated by following this procedure.
