No programming required before installation - follow OE relearn procedure after installation.
All VDO brand TPMS parts are OE validated for fit, performance and reliability. VDO/Continental is a pioneer in TPMS and tires, with over a century of tradition and expertise leading the automotive market with state of the art technology and innovations.
Adjustable/Pivoting valve stem fits into more OE and Aftermarket rims
Includes all component parts for ease of installation
Waterproof sensor body prevents failure and damage from tire air moisture
Metal Valve (Clamp-In) style TPMS Sensors have higher speed ratings (typically up to 155 mph) than Rubber Valve (Snap-In) styles (typically up to 115 mph).
Metal (Clamp-In) Installation: The valve piece is attached to the sensor body, and the valve core is secured with a nut and rubber grommet.
Program vs. Clone vs. Relearn
Don't confuse TPMS Sensor Relearning, Programming and Cloning! Some processes require a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Programming Tool to complete, but not all processes are required (or available) for every application.
PROGRAM
Required onlyfor Universal (Programmable) Sensors, in addition to TPMS Sensor Relearning. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Program the specific Year/Make/Model protocol for the vehicle into the sensor
Create or Clone a sensor ID onto the sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
CLONE
Ideal for drivers who frequently swap wheels/tires, such as during the winter season. A relearn procedure is not required when sensors are cloned. A TPMS Tool is required to:
Copy/Clone the unique ID from the original TPMS Sensor to the replacement sensor
BEFORE INSTALLATION
RELEARN
Required when a new (not cloned) sensor ID is introduced or when the tires are rotated. A TPMS Tool may be required to:
Write the unique sensor IDs to the vehicle's computer
Assign the IDs to the correct wheel position (for vehicles that display pressure by location)
Metal Valve (Clamp-In) style TPMS Sensors have higher speed ratings (typically up to 155 mph) than Rubber Valve (Snap-In) styles (typically up to 115 mph).
