Spot on - I got these put on the parts list. The mis-information appearing in this thread is scary! HUF/BERU is the OEM manufacturer and these just work, no coding required. Aerial in each wheel arch is how it's done...

So fellas would it be a case of just ordering off page and getting an Indie to install?

No issues with clearing the warning light right once installed???

That's some bloody saving!

Better than that. Order, take to a decent local tyre fitter, get them to remove tyre, fit sensor, refit tyre and balance. Press the calibrate button before you drive home. Job done.

Will give it a shot.

We have to work under Maserati's protocol and the new sensors have a identification number that has to be changed for the one that has died for it to communicate with the control unit.
How these aftermarket ones do it without the Diagnosi I don't know but happy to be educated.

For the Ghibli, I supplied the chassis number and they sent them out preprogrammed somehow. Worked straight out of the box, no calibration, no buttons, no messing. Perfect.

Probably because they are not aftermarket, but OEM parts identical to factory parts apart from logos. I've just double-checked my downloaded copy of the QP shop manual and there is nothing in there about doing anything on the SD3. Just detailed instructions on how to fit the sensors, followed by calibration. It must be that it's possible, but not necessary, to go in there and change the ID. Maybe you have a different system for the NZ market. It's definitely not necessary on a UK 2007 QP. Give it a go next time you have this job.

Here's a list of the equivalent manufacturer part#s to the RDE001:
Alfa Romeo 185189 224549, Audi/VW 4D0907275 4D0907275C, Bentley 4D0907275 4D0907275C, Ferrari 185189 224549, Maserati 185189 224549, Mercedes-Benz A0008223306 A0055422318 A0009055705 , Porsche 99760602100 99760602101 99760602102, Schrader 65735-67, Schrader USA 20077. Huf/Beru part number 0532207001

So it's clearly an off-the-shelf system fitted by various manufacturers.

This is interesting but I'm sure the system is the same as we have many Uk cars here too.
We have to Capt from the TPMS ecu the serial numbers of the failed sensors and then input the new serial numbers or we won't clear the stored fault in the ecu.
Guessing if you guys had your cars scanned on the Diagnosi faults would come up even though they are working.
Spent the whole day yesterday on a 2015 Granturismo sorting out the AC control panel not doing anything after some clown had fitted a reverse parking camera into the display and hacking into the wiring harness.
A nice Dealer bill for him and now his warranty is shafted only bought the car at Christmas.
Be careful guys and girls.

Interesting. Mine's well out of warranty so no issues there.

At the same time, don't want to buy non-OEM parts and then find out the warning light stays on.

Decisions, decisions.

I think what Phil's saying is the system works, there's no warning lights but there is a fault stored in the ECU.

That would not bother me *personally*

Correct, no warning lights - confirmed by my experience.

For anyone unfamiliar, error codes are stored for diagnostic purposes and are usually cleared by the technician when the fault causing them is fixed. You'd need an SD3 to know they're there. One that says a TPMS battery ran out can be left until the next service, except in cases of very severe OCD :)

What Phil is also saying is they can't clear the codes without following the Maserati schedule and using approved parts. Again, would not bother me. I can very much imagine it might bother some people.

Yes, in the same boat.

As long as there's no warning light on the dash and the TPMS system works with a NON-OEM part, wouldn't bother me either.

Just had confirmation the correct TPMS part for the GT is: Huf RDE001

Just to be clear - I did say these are OEM; huf/Beru is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and these are not just compatible parts, the are essentially the same parts as supplied to Maserati/Ferrari/Audi/Bentley/etc. http://www.products.intellisens.com/FAQ

Sorry to bang on about this, but I want to make sure people coming to this thread get accurate information so that they can save their hard-earned cash.

Just an Update on this.

Ordered the OEM parts from Germany.

Had them installed at a Major independent tyre specialist in Sydney.

System working again and TPMS warning light gone.

Think I saved myself around A$1200 just by knowing the part to purchase. No Stealership job thank you very much.

Thanks again to those who offered advice on this forum.
