Tyre monitor system valve replacement 997 - Page 1 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

Has anyone purchased TMS for their 997 from the tirerack in the US I sent a email asking for information and got this reply : Hello and thank you for your message. The doubt that we have, on this question, is that the european approved frequency may be different than those used in the USA. For this 2006 PORSCHE 997, Turbo, Porsche USA uses a HUF/BERU 433MHZ sensor. It may be advisable for you to check if this is the correct frequency. After a bit of googling it seems the sensor is the 433MHZ , any advice on best place to buy these , Cheers Edited by Lordglenmorangie on Friday 13th December 22:47

Confused by your question a bit - UK uses 433mhz sensors, US use 315mhz - if they supply 433 then you'll be OK

I bought the Beru 433Mhz ones from Tirerack, been in use now for around a year with no issues.

Agreed, bought mine from TPMS.com S0077K TPMS S0077K Kit [Colored Valve Stem:Silver Finish Huf Valve Stems] 1 $334.57 $334.57 Subtotal: $334.57 Tax: $0.00 Shipping Cost: $59.95 Grand Total: $394.52 In today's exchange rate that's £243 !!!! Had them fitted to my spare wheels, (that are permanently on the car ) when they were being refurbed, Also think I paid about £30 import duty, still a bargain compared to buying in uk and they work perfectly.

Not sure if this is of any use to you http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331075498467?ssPageName=...

Wow, cheers to you all, PH Can be brilliant at times !

Check with the seller re the battery life of those eBsy jobbies, the non-Huf/Beru ones have a life of 1-4 years IIRC.

Got mine from here http://www.bavarianx.com/Porsche_911_Turbo_997_TPM... They just worked after 4 miles of driving
