tire pressure sensors - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I have been looking at replacing my tire pressure sensors on the 2008 boxster S. Got 1 bad one and the others can't be far behind.
As always, the dealer is twice as expensive as other suppliers for the oem beru ones and there are other brands that are a quarter of the price of the dealer beru.
Has anyone tried any other brands? If so, results?

mountainman, I have the same year/car and I ordered the Titan TPMS (433MH). I installed them and have had no trouble at all. The cost was about $160.

Good, I found those at the same price and the oem beru's from the same distributor are twice that and 4 times as much from the Porsche dealer. Was it a simple matter of installing them and then the standard learning procedure or was there any programing to be done?
