Change of TPMS sensor attachment type and place for 2006-2010 from rim to nipple

[EDST777]

Change of TPMS sensor attachment type and place for 2006-2010 from rim to nipple. It's possible? someone did it, partly on one wheel or all four wheels at once. The nipple-mounted sensors feel more practical and reliable to me. Thank you, any thoughts you may have.

I was also interested in clarifying whether the TPMS 315 Mhz 2011-2014 sensors are suitable for 2006-2010 cars, because there is also a similar frequency of 315 MHz, but only they differ in location or there are other differences?

there are universal sensors such as from Schrader that you can use for the conversion. i think they are the same frequency 2007-2014, but not 100% sure.

 

the band style sensors on our 2007 are still original, and 3 out of 4 are functional. so 16+ years is a good haul. i think they are more active in later generations leading to quicker decline.

Thank you for your help, yes, I really noticed that the original sensors work properly for a very long time, while the same sensors "not original" can leave work earlier. In my question, I would like to clarify whether the sensors are suitable from 2011-14 (1.5) to 2006-10 (1.0), because there may be differences in receiver and frequency? As far as I know the attachment points in 1.0 and 1.5 of the TPMS sensors are different and the idea was to use the 1.5 sensor on the 1.0 car.

from what i have seen, the TPMS system is very particular about the sensors it uses. so most likely, sensors from 2011-2014 will not work although specifications may seem compatible.

 

hence why i suggested universal sensors like these
