TPMS Retrofit Possible Issues G20

HI all,

Unfortunately, most AU cars don't come with the TPMS RDC, but with the simpler RPA.

For my old F31 330i, I simply bought the wheel senders, had them fitted, recoded my car (thanks to others having done the same) and all was good, pressure and temp at all 4 wheels.

Got a brand new G20 M340i and same setup again, no real TPMS.

Bought some senders from eBay, cheaper instead of genuine though.
The part# didn't match realOEM, but the vendor said they were compatible.... with Fxx and G20...

This time had to VO code the 2VB (And code every ECU), as couldn't find the individual codes, or affected ECU list anywhere.

Unfortunately, all I get is RDC failure, so I'm hoping its the sender units not compatible, and not something else (additional hardware maybe) needed for the car.

Anyway, I've ordered some more of the more genuine type, and will have to pay again to get them fitted, to see if this solves the issue.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas to assist it would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, I'll try to compare the CAF's from before and after to narrow down the effected ECU list so can better share the how-tos for those who follow.
