Filler plate and TPMS sensors installed
Finally got around to putting some TPMS sensor on the W12. If you did not know, when I bought the car, it had some hideous chrome hooptie wheels with incorrect sized tires. They did not have any TPMS sensors either. I turned the system off by VCDS until I decided if I wanted the system active.
I finally got off my **** and bought some sensors. We sell the Alligator Sensit at our shop so I bought 5 of them and installed them. They are German company but I'n sure where they are made. The do have all synthetic seals and they are programed to operate like OE. They are very small in size, about 1/2 the size. I just programed them, installed them on each wheel, and used the MMI "change wheel" and boom.
I also installed the license delete filler that I got from Brozee and it looks so much better. I think I do need to paint the park sensors because they are flat grey and not gloss black like the filler. Can I just use regular matching paint for my car to paint the sensors?
And after all that, getting her washed.

Thanks for the compliment. The W12 was one Audi I coveted.
We sell the sensors at $89.00 but these are not the cheap Chinese sensors. If people want to buy some I can see what I can do for AudiWorld members. When I bought the car, there were no TPMS sensors at all on the car. I wanted to drive the car and cloning sensors were difficult without the OE sensors, so I just turned the system off. Then we I found out about these Alligator Sensit sensors and I can program them without the old sensors.
Yes I used VCDS to adapt the TMPS on or off. In coding, the third digit is 0 for off and 3 for 433mhz USA.

+1 "How did you program those to the car?" quote from 2k4blacka8..plust Would you be able to ship overseas? (i.e. Seoul, South Korea)

Yes, we have a program that comes with the product. I can program either a 433mhz or 315mhz sensors to almost any car with the program. It tells the sensors the parameters of the OE sensors, like frequency per minute.
Yes I just broke the front bead. I am a managing partner in a group of four brick and mortar tires stores in ATL. I work in a 8 bay service facility so I have access to state of the art tire changer and alignment machine. If you are interested I work at the Atlanta Ponce location at www.midtowntire.com
We are not set up to do a ecommerce yet but I would ship to you cooljustin since you are a member. If you are interested, I would have to investigate the cost of shipping to you.
I will let you guys know what a group buy type of pricing would be.
