Anyone have experience with eBay / Aliexpress TPMS sensors?

Kooner23 · 03-04-2021, 07:20 PM

In the market to get some new TPMS sensors for my 2014 335i with a 10/13 build date. Saw some posts with people using aliexpress / eBay no name preprogrammed sensors for about $50-$80 for all 4, but never updated as to how they are working. Anyone using these?

I got TPMS from eBay for my 2017 F36 for $45. First time reset took a long time and it failed. The next day the reset worked quickly. In 7 months to date ive had couple TPMS malfunction lights on dash but a quick reset got them recognized again. Worth it IMO.

You never know, what you get. They can be perfectly fine, they can even come from the same factory as the reputable ones. On the other hand, you can find certain issues during the time - poor materials (the cheapest ones), inaccuracy, occasional fails, short battery life.

Imo not worth the hassle, as the very first issue will most likely make it more expensive than buying the reputable ones (as VDO, Autel, etc.).

Anyways, be sure to get them pre-programmed for your car (model and production date) - high chances those you have posted will not work.
