Why Roewe TPMS Fitment Matters
Roewe vehicles, particularly the Roewe 350, 550, 750, and RX5, use a 433MHz TPMS system that is functionally identical to the system found in some Jaguar and Land Rover models. This is because SAIC Motor (Roewe’s parent company) sources TPMS components from the same tier-1 suppliers—primarily Baolong Technology (BH-Sens). The result: a sensor like the RDE229V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Jaguar, Land Rover | OE# C2D21599, C2D47173, LR021935 can directly replace your original Roewe sensor without reprogramming, if the part numbers match.
How to Verify Fitment for Your Roewe
Step 1: Check the Frequency
All Roewe models from 2008 to present use 433MHz TPMS sensors. If you have a 315MHz system (rare, but possible on some early imports), the RDE229V21 will not work.
Step 2: Identify Your Sensor’s OE Number
Remove the sensor from your wheel (or check service records). Look for one of these numbers on the sensor body:
- C2D21599
- C2D47173
- LR021935
- LR066378
- LR070840
- LR156918
If your sensor has any of these numbers, the BH-Sens RDE229V21 is a direct fit.
Step 3: Confirm Valve Stem Type
All Roewe models use clamp-in (metal stem) sensors. If you have a rubber snap-in valve, you need a different sensor.
Step 4: Use a TPMS Scan Tool
If you’re unsure, a professional TPMS tool (like an Autel or Bartec) can read the sensor ID and frequency. This is the most reliable method.
Fitment Table: Roewe Models Compatible with RDE229V21
| Roewe Model | Years Covered | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roewe 350 | 2010–2020 | All trims; 433MHz clamp-in |
| Roewe 550 | 2008–2016 | Pre-2010 models may need reprogramming |
| Roewe 750 | 2006–2016 | Verify OE number on original sensor |
| Roewe RX5 | 2016–2024 | Direct fit; same sensor as Land Rover Evoque |
| Roewe RX8 | 2018–2023 | Confirmed compatible |
| Roewe i6 | 2017–2023 | Same as RX5 system |
| Roewe Marvel X | 2018–2021 | Uses 433MHz; check stem type |
Note: This table covers the most common models. For niche models like the Roewe W5 or Roewe E50, check your original sensor’s part number.
What If the Sensor Doesn’t Fit?
The RDE229V21 is pre-programmed to match the frequencies and protocols of the listed OE numbers. If your Roewe uses a different protocol (e.g., 315MHz or a non-Baolong brand sensor), you have three options:
- Return the sensor and order the correct one.
- Relearn the sensor using a TPMS tool (if your vehicle supports auto-relearn).
- Replace all four sensors with the same model to ensure system consistency.
Recommended Part
For most Roewe owners, the RDE229V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Jaguar, Land Rover | OE# C2D21599, C2D47173, LR021935 is the most reliable drop-in option. It’s a Baolong-manufactured sensor with the same internal components as the original Roewe part, at a fraction of the dealer price. Always buy a set of four to avoid mixing old and new sensors.
FAQ
Can I use a Jaguar TPMS sensor in my Roewe?
Yes, if the sensor has an OE number from the list above. Roewe and Jaguar/Land Rover use the same Baolong-manufactured 433MHz sensors. The physical design and programming are identical.
Do I need to reprogram the RDE229V21 after installation?
No. This sensor is pre-programmed and will auto-learn on most Roewe models after driving a few miles at speeds above 25 mph. If your vehicle requires manual relearning, consult your owner’s manual or a TPMS tool.
How do I know if my Roewe uses 433MHz or 315MHz?
Check the original sensor’s label, or use a TPMS scan tool. 433MHz is standard for all Roewe models sold in China and Europe. 315MHz is only found on some North American imports.
What torque should I use when installing the sensor?
Tighten the clamp nut to the manufacturer’s specification—typically between 35–40 in-lbs (4–4.5 Nm). Over-tightening can crack the sensor housing. Always use a new seal kit (valve core, cap, and grommet) when replacing the sensor.
