Bentley Continental GT UK March 2005 - Not recognising new TPMS's

[sophielsie]

Hi - can anyone help - I live in the UK and I have a MARCH 2005 continental GT reg V12 LCC and am having real problems replacing TPMS. Bentley have told me the infotaintment systems needs upgrading at a cost of £1500 (c$3000); this is because they say they changed the transmitter in 2005 - I have installed http://www.titantpms.com/tpms/bentley-continental-gt-2003-2005/oro-tek-tire-pressure-sensor-set-433-mhz-chrome-9455066
and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPMS-OE-REPLACEMENT-TIRE-SENSOR-Audi-BMW-VW-Bentley-Rolls-Royce-By-EMS-8-/171026429107?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre _Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item27d1f834b3

and neither work - I bought them from the USA and understand their maybe some compatability issues - it is costing me $160 a time to try new TPMS's plus the cost of actaully buying them - so this is very frustrating. I have told the infotaintment that I have new tyre pressures - but it tries to learn - and does nothing then - when I switch the car on again it says there is an error in the TPMS - any ideas ?

Hello and Welcome,

The 09/2003-05/2005 Bentley should use a Huf/BERU RDE001 433MHz OEM # 4D0-907-275C and the 06/2005+ should use an RDE011 433 MHz OEM #4F0-907-275B or D.

Now that being said there are also versions that came with a 315MHz which you can only get form the dealer. I would check first to see the build date on your cars placard to see if you have the right version, then call the dealership with your VIN number and ask them for the OEM part number for your vehicles TPMS and compare.

Thanks
Albert
