Perci Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If you have a Porsche with the Tire Pressure Monitor System and the car hasn't had it's sensors replaced in 5+ years, you might want to think about what you will do when one or more of the have their battery expire. The dealer parts will run you about $200 each plus installation labour. There are alternative suppliers for compatible sensors at significantly less money, but unless you have a tire shop in your garage, you will need somebody to install them. And there is always black tape to cover the warning light. I just replaced the last of the original sensors in my car.

JT997TT Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Timely post. Both of my driver's side sensors are not registering and Dealer mentioned it is probably because the batteries are done at 5+ years. To me that sounded like a pretty cheap fix, but maybe not!

Perci Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) You should start your research here http://www.titantpms.com/tpms/porsche-tire-pressure-sensors This is where I got mine. Additional info in this Thread at the Cayman Registry http://caymanregister.org/showthread.php?t=28948 Kevin tells me that the next newsletter will have my article about my battles with TPMS. In mailboxes soon, and online shortly thereafter.

Keith Adams Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm sure it's preaching to the choir, but TPMS has got to be the biggest pain in the ass system ever installed on automobiles in the past 20 years. I'm on the "black tape to cover the warning light" program. Quote Link to comment
