tpm sensor replacement
i have a 2004 cl600 and want to replace the tpm sensor in the wheel. i've read a couple of posts, looked at the maintenance dvd and called the dealer. i have conflicting info. and would like feedback. the dealer and mercedes dvd say you have to program the id.# of the sensor and the specified tire pressure into the tpm control unit using star diagnostics.
i've also been told and read that all you have to do is replace the sensor and scroll through the menu to tire pressure and re-program it on the dash. do we really need the star diagnostic and will it work without it? i'm buying a beru sensor from tire rack.
can it be done properly without the star diagnostic?
thanks

one other question. the tpm warning light is white, not red and the dealer couldn't pull any codes.
anyone have any advice? car is a 2004 cl so i assume tpm wheel sensor batteries are weak, or bad, but no code. the front 2 wheel sensors were replaced earlier this year, but the rears were good.
