TPMS recommendation

Hi David
I am sure this is not always the case, but I just did the same thing with new wheels and tyres, the tyre depo said they had ones that would work for £300 so they programed them to be the same but they did not work, I spent 2 nights driving around trying to get them to be accepted by the car, I ended up buying ones from Ferrari for £406 so not too much difference, 1/2 a mile down the road and they were working.
Try to get OEM ones would be my advise, ask for best discount price they can do. I think they gave me 25% off.

 

I bought 4 sensors a year ago from Amazon for $80. mine were failing I think because of age, new ones paired up with no problem.
Copied from my invoice:
1 of: MOBILETRON 4-Pack 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System Sensors (Clamp-in) Pre-Programmed for Audi/BMW/Mini/Porsche | OE Replacement | TX-S003-4
Sold by: MORE SENSOR

 

It is worth noting that US cars use a 315 mhz sensor.

These,work with both 315 and 433 mhz systems, so should work no problem. More often than not, sensors simply fail to connect because they are not frequency matched.

TP.S sensors are really simple devices and Ferrari OE sensors are nothing special - just overpriced.

OEM sensors cheap!

There are several companies like this....

 

Stupid quesstion on this thread...bought a 2010 cali that does not have TPMS on it. If I just get the sensors can a mechanic get it up and running to show on the display or you had to have ordered the TPMS option originally?

 

The TPMS system requires the Ferrari TPMS ECU. It send the signals via CANBUS to the display which then interprets the signals. So in the bare minimum you would need to get the ferrari TPMS ecu to integrate. You may need to also update the speedometer can bus interpreter too. So if you want it on the ferrari display, have the dealer do it. The tire sensors are the cheap and easy part.

 

Got it and thanks. Checked with the dealer and seems sadly that part to do this on the display is not for sale anymore so looks like a 3rd party device for me now is only option.

 

you may be able to source the parts on eBay. There are plenty of wrecked californias. so you need the TPMS Sensor ECU with Bracket,the TPMS receiver sensors, the tire sensors, or aftermarket tire sensors, and to be safe buy a speedometer and speedometer can bus decoder. Even if you dont need the last 2, buying from eBay will still be cheaper.

Then go to a ferrari mechanic and have him install

 

Assuming even if I get all the parts in the image below it still would NOT work to show on the display as still need to get the speedometer/can bus decoder which has the TPMS UI installed in it right?

If the speedometer canbus decoder is the same part number with and without the TPMS, then it has it in it already, same goes for speedometer. Ferrari has a small production line and they often make changes along the line as the models develop. Research on scuderia autoparts should have the part numbers, and may even have the parts you need.

 

Amazing and thank you so much!
