I reused mine when I did all 4 brakes on both of my Boxsters in January. What my gripe with this system is: it wastes alot of pad thickness. Why can't Porsche just use a steel tab to rub on the rotors when they are worn thin ? Keep it simple.

the sensor is just a loop of wire. the wire leave the plug, travels through one pad, though the other, and back to the plug. when all is good the wire is continuous and current flows. when a pad gets low it rubs through the wire, breaks the circuit, current stops flowing and the light comes on. unplug the sensor and all the computer sees is a broken circuit - light comes on.

snip the sensor wires near the plug and twist them together and the current flows - no light, no sensors to worry about, no bother.
