Hello guys,
Do you have any idea about the TPMS kits that are being sold on Aliexpress? Are there any good or there is a big chance that I end up buying a fake OEM module?
I am thinking of retrofitting this on to my Skoda Karoq 2019.

Thank you!

I got mine from AliExpress 6+ yrs ago - no issues n still going strong.

Most of the TPMS kits will b fine provided u get the right version, i.e. 5Q0907273B

Make sure u get one that includes the 4x sensors as they would come pre-paired with the module.

Skoda uses the same ones for VW.

Do not get the TPMS designed for Audi as they r different and also do temperature readings.

@JR RS can I add another set of sensors afterwards because I have 4 wheels for summer and another 4 wheels for the winter??

Sadly no.

From memory, the module can only have a max of 5 (maybe 6??) sensors paired.

The TPMS sensors need to b paired to the TPMS module using suppa rare specialist TPMS programming tools.

Even adding one tyre, say a spare tyre, will require the additional sensor to b purchased first and then paired, via the specialist tool, to the module.

If u have another set of 4 tyres, u either need to get the sensors moved between the rims.....or

....have another TPMS module with its own set of 4x sensors. This way u simply unplug the module associate to ur summer tyres, and plug the module associated to the winter tyres.

My TPMS module is accessible from underneath, inside the rear bumper.

But I don't require summer/winter tyres.

But when the battery dies in my sensors, I can easily replace it with another TPMS kit.

Are you sure about that?

I thought the orange sensors needed programming but the black ones were self-learning.

Certainly when I added TPMS to my MK2 Octavia the sensors were able to self-learn as I bought them from 2-3 sellers separately to the module.

The mk2 Octavia is PQ35 platform, which uses different TPMS modules to that used with the mk3 MQB platform.

Yes, new sensors will be automatically detected after half kilometer.

But if it is genuine VAG antenna.

Btw it’s possible to manually put sensors ids via diagnostics tools

For fake antenna you can’t upload dataset with tire pressure settings.

My AliExpress was OEM

Mine too

Any links? Pic of module?

well i've been happy for 6+ yrs now with my "fake" TPMS kit.

it does the job as intended.

it behaves, integrates and operates like OEM.

no CANBUS issues.

no pressure reading issues.

when the batteries in my TPMS sensors run out, given they can't be replaced and have a life expectancy of 6 to 8 yrs, i'll buy another "fake" TPMS kit from AliExpress, swap out the sensors in the tyres and replace the module behind the bumper.

i won't require any coding or adaptation changes.
i'll b good for another 6-8 yrs again.

I’ll share my personal experience.

Fake on top, original on the bottom.

1. The QR code on the Chinese ones looks identical (if you compare it with the photos a few posts above).

2. The font of the part number is different (not noticeable in this photo).

3. The Cyrillic text is poorly done. "ЗроблеНо в НiмеЧЧИНi" - fake. "Зроблено в Німеччині" - original

4. There is no Huff / BHSens logo. - fixed in new fake antennas

5. You can't upload dataset

6. If the antenna is already installed, you will see this menu in the Tire Type settings.

   

Of course, they’re not standing still and keep improving the fake antennas.

Basically, it doesn't matter at all if it works?

So yours might actually be original. From my experience, fake antennas started flooding AliExpress about 2.5 years ago, but it seems there are still some sellers offering originals. What was wrong with my AliExpress kit:

• Periodic U012700 error in the gateway, indicating no communication with antenna

• no automatic wheel position detection

• front left sensor had poor reception

• one sensor always showed 2.2

• Not sure what will happen if I change sensors

Maybe a reason

@Cairus do you have pic of module you bought?

Once I've installed it in the trunk, I can do one.

This is the module and sensor I got from AliExpress 6+ yrs ago....looks "original".

woOot

Yes, everything with Hut/BHsens logo should be OEM! Just got refund for my set since it's fake ( maybe working like a charm, but fake ). The seller has BHsens logo module on advertising pictures, in reality you got module like I post previously... Will try to find genuine module

For examble

Is there an OEM place for anntena bracket on estate version of superb mk3 besides rear bumper? Someone told something around fuel tank but cannot find the post...
