best place to buy 315mhz tpms sensor
where is the cheapest place to buy a tpms sensor that is 315mhz. i assume that any 315mhz tpms sensor will work, or does it have to be mercedes specific?

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.

got an orotek made specifically for a 2003-2006 mercedes cl class. had it installed, played with it for 1 week and couldn't get it to register. cost of sensor $33. gave up and got a beru from tire rack $96.00. got it installed and after two resets it's working properly. my two cents after this experience. go with the beru. it's 3X's the price, but it works.
