hi, i need a 315mhz tpms for a 2004 cl class. anyone know the cheapest place to get these? are aftermarket 315 mhz generic workable?

You should be able to clone an aftermarket one fairly easily.

are you saying that any 315mhz tpms sensor will work on my 315mhz system if it fits? will our system code it, or do we need a shop to code the sensor? btw, i researched and researched and found multiple sensors that say they will work. prices range from $22 dorman, $46 orotek, $50 itm, $80 vdo and $98 beru. this has been educational. i went with the dorman 974-001. the website listed it for chrysler pacifica. after extensive research i found out it was also listed for many chrysler products including the 300's. after more research i found out it was 315mhz and finally i checked multiple web sites for my car and finally found 2 that listed the dorman 974-001 for 2001-2006 mercedes cl class. multiple other websites listed the dorman as well, but they either didn't show a model #, or used their own part# which of course didn't match dorman's. this has been exhausting and i hope i'm right about the dorman 974-001. for $22 it's worth a shot. any feedback is appreciated. i hope i'm right and that this thread can save some people money.

I cant speak from experience on the CL but I own an auto repair shop and usually we find it easier to clone the sensor and not have to worry about reprogramming. NAPA sells cloneable sensors for $40 and the cloner is $75 though you may be able to loan it with a deposit. I hope this helps you. So far there has not been a car we have not been able to clone over the years.
