New tpms'

Huh,
I have tried to search for the easy fix but could not find the thread so i got myself a new set of tires and wheels; i thought that once the tpmses are initialized/ reset they should be recognized automatically, but i keep on getting tpms error..

What year is the TPMS and what your is your car? Older TPMS doesnt work on the newer models, My TPMS from my 09 x5 throws the TPMS malfunction when I use them for my winter setup. If thats not the case then I'm not sure what the cause is

Had the same problem when I bought my winter 299M set up. If I remember right sensors before September 2011 won't work with the newer vehicles. I bought a set of sensors from Tire Rack and had them installed at a local tire shop.
Not a problem since.

Thats my thinking
Wheels came of 2013 bmw x5; i drive 2011 x5 (produced in early 2010)
The message says" tpms malfunction "after reset

Yes the Sensors changed the way they transmit and receive. They are not backwards compatible.

Looking through the web when I was trying to figure out why the sensors did not work I found BMW changed the sensors in 9/2010. Looking at a few of the part numbers it seemed until 10/2011 one part number worked and then the part changed again. I am not sure exactly which date is the cutoff.

When i put my winter tires on the sensors would never connect and communicate with the vehicle. As soon as I put the new sensors in and programmed it the light went out and haven't had a problem since. I think I spent 200 on the sensors and 60 on the install at Pep Boys.

I purchased mine from Tire Rack. I believe they were $200 delivered. I almost had Discount Tire order the sensors and put them in. They wanted $400 for the sensors and $20 a wheel to put them in.

When I called Tire Rack and ordered the sensors it took two days to arrive. Great service as usual from Tire Rack.
