These are not aftermarket ( OEM is aftermarket it means Original Equipment Manufacturer- a version manufactured to be equivalent to the manufacture specs NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT) OE is original if you bought at the dealer.

The VDO are what Jaguar puts in your car but it has a label that says jaguar.

 

So you're saying the sensor on rockauto and the sensor sold at jaguar are the same sensor? If so, would you buy the refurb jag sensor for $40 or the rockauto sensor for $25?

 

is that $25 for a set of 4? If not, you can grab a set of 4 from ebay for $40 USD (new). I cant tell if they're fake, but they worked for me and have all the branding and label that OE* Jaguar Tpms do.

 

thats $25 for 1 and $40 for 1 on eBay I found. Can you send me a direct link for the one you said, $40 for a set of 4?

 

if you've got a Jaguar I would be careful in just finding the cheapest aftermarket ones, those might neeed to be OEM and coded afterwards by a dealership or mechanic shop. I would go through all these forums and do a lot of research first as to what you really need

 

So are you saying you'd go with the refurbs Jag brand sensors?

 

To each their own, if you have a Jaguar (or any other luxury vehicle), does not mean you should spend absent mindedly. If there is a cheaper option available, why not utilize that to your own benefit? If you want your outsourced parts with little Jaguar logo on it for piece of mind and a large price tag, then by all means, spend away. I'd do some research to find alternate solution or parts that will do the job just as well if not better

Please NOTE, I have no affiliation with the seller or the manufacturer. I bought a set similar to these and they're working for me. If you want to be extra cautious, make sure they can be detected by w/e scan tool your shop is using before taking your wheels and tires apart. If they are being read by a tool, I see no reason why your vehicle won't pick up on it. Alternatively you can go to a dealership and pay w/e they're charging for a set or buy aftermarket ones. I'm merely sharing what I purchased.

Hope it helps!

 

There seems to be great debate whether Oem or aftermarket Tpms will work even if a scanner tool can read them at most simple tire shops. To get dash board Tpm error lights off some say drive over 15mph for 12 minutes, others say must go to dealership and have each one coded, programmed and mated to the car, total pain..I can't even trust the dealership in asking because they just want your money and will tell you the worst case scenario. I'm still in the middle of trying to get these lights off, guess it's gonna be trial and error, I'll report findings when and if I get it figured out.

 

Please keep in mind that these are 433 MHZ* frequency ones, not 315 suited to your Jaguar XJ. So these are not the correct ones.

 

Yes I believe those are the 433Mhz. Only 315Mhz will work in all cars North America. 433 is for Europe

 

No no no no no...I've heard that from multiple sources, but it's not true (I don't think). 315 MHZ is for Modern Jaguars manufactured up untill 2015 (Pre Face lift XJ, XK, Maybe F-type, XF x250). 433 MHZ is for all models starting late 2015-2016 onwards (F-pace, E-Pace, X260 XF, Facelift XJ, F type etc).

This is the case in Canada, and I doubt US is any different. The frequency is NOT dependent on country, rather model year.

I used the 315 MHZ version of TPMS I linked (They look identical)

Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude if my tone is coming accross as such.

 

Not at all, I know I made a pretty much general blanket statement that I made for all cars, I think in general I just meant to say that most cars in the U.S do Run on 315 While most European cars in Europe made out there run on 433 I'm pretty much 75-90% sure of that, but of course there's probably some odds and end newer vehicles that might require a 433 out here but I can tell you it's on the very rare side.

 

Agreed. That's my understanding as well. From 2014 onward the Jags you mention broadcast the 433mhz RF. Prior to that, 433 was primarily relegated to Europe and the most of the rest of the world used 315mhz band.

A note about using "refurbished" sensors. The battery is not replaceable. I suspect they are refurbishing the stem? Sensors have a typical 7 year expected battery life cycle. Since the battery can't replaced the age of the sensor is relevant. Buyer beware.

 

Reburbishing TPMS refers to cahnging the alumnium stem and ring, there are kits you can buy on ebay for that. The sensor itself is sealed with a silicon base and not designed to be taken apart. I'm not even sure if it takes conventional button batteries/cell, but if someone does decide to change them, it probably wont hold up for very long after the fact since it won't be water proof and moisture will eventually render it useless.

Also, from what I've heard, TPMS sensors have a life of ~5 years.

 

TPMS from dealership are extremely expensive, I got quoted for $666.76 CAD+Tax. I've memorized the amount since it was laughable and shocking. If you DO NOT trust cheap ebay sensors like the one linked above, then you can get FOMOCO (Ford Motor company) branded ones froma ford dealership for about $200 to $250 CAD + tax. Not sure if Ford switched to 433 MHZ, but 315 is common.

 

right, I responded to Bri in a separate thread and confirmed the 2011 here in the U.S. is 315 mhz.

 

Hi, Finally problem solved:
I mailed several friends and partners with my problem and from a wheel-exporter I have received a box of sensors.
Now in my XJ all 4 are original JLR / FoMoCo and system runs correctly ( auto-recognition works... as it should )

As I have more sensors than I need I can sell the rest... If there is interest...
New sensors, never used in vehicle.
Removed from new JLR wheels because wheels were exported to Europe (the frequency is 433MHz in Europe).
Both TGB1B and TGB1C sets are for sale: US standard 315MHz. AH521A159CA, 6G921A159AB, 4H231A159CB and BH521A159CA
Mail me if you are interested in...

 

What frequency does the I-Pace need? I'm buying a 2nd pair of wheels for winter tires and need TPMS modules. Would 415/435Mhz work?

 

It's a modern Jaguar model so I'd assume its 433 MHZ just like any other jaguar Land Rover product in production currently.

 

I believe in some of the much newer ones it's the 433 but in my 11 xjl is the 315.
