TPMS brands (aftermarket) that transmit temp info
Hi,
I was looking into new aftermarket TPMS sensors for my 2009 A8L, which also display individual tire temperatures. One distributor suggest Titan brands will not send temp info (I believe Mishar said he has used these, so he may have some info). The distributor suggested ORO-Tek brand. There are a few other brands I see, like EON. I'm not sure if Orange still sells the A8 tpms
Rarely do descriptions of the sensors explicitly state if temperature is transmitted too
So, I was just wondering what aftermarket TPMS sensors people have used that do indeed send tire temp info to the car. Thanks

Hi. I actually just had Titan sensors installed on my '07 S8 today. I can confirm that they transmit pressure and temperature.
This is what I bought:

Thanks, that website is a bit confusing, I click on a picture of the titan TPMS, and the little label on the pictured toms says OROTEK, and there are different sku and upc #'s for TPMS that should be the same. But thanks for the info, that's what i wanted to know.

Yeah, I think they mixed up the pictures. My Titan sensors did not look like those. They had more of a round edge. I would say choose the set of Titan sensors with 433 MHz and you should be good.
The web site has good customer service, by the way. I made a mistake with my shipping address and they responded and fixed it without any delay. When the sensors didn't fit on the wheels, they responded promptly, though there was no real solution other than going to another shop who did successfully install the sensors. Good luck.

The ones I got from oewheels.com showed temp and pressure. No issues. I think they were branded as orotek. Phone them up and speak to them. They are very helpful.

Bought them for my 4.2 and W12 and they worked just as OEM but at a way more attractive price. Only thing cheap on them are the valve stems. Discount tire provided me with OEM Audi ones at no charge to replace them.
Here: 433mhz is US TPMS
TPMS fits Audi A8 Quattro L Tire Pressure Sensors
Honestly, these work the exact same for quite a bit cheaper. Again 433 mhz

So Brozee, you got both of those sets and they both showed temperature?
Again, it seems like they are selling the same items for different prices... they all have pics of ORO-Tek items in the descriptions.
Thanks for the info.

These also have temp. Maybe a few dollars cheaper and free shipping with prime. Working great in my 2007 A8.
