Understanding TIVOLI XLV TPMS Compatibility
The TIVOLI XLV, produced by SsangYong (now KG Mobility), shares its TPMS platform with a surprising range of vehicles. This is because the sensor system used—typically the BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) 433MHz unit—is an OEM supplier for multiple automakers. The TIVOLI XLV model, launched in 2016, uses a direct TPMS system where each wheel has a sensor transmitting pressure and temperature data to the vehicle’s ECU.
Key Compatibility Factors
Before buying any TPMS sensor for your TIVOLI XLV, focus on three things:
- Frequency: The TIVOLI XLV uses 433MHz. Most aftermarket sensors are multi-frequency, but verify this.
- OE Number Cross-Reference: The most common OE numbers for TIVOLI XLV are 2N0907275A and 5Q0907275B. These also fit Audi A3, BMW 3 Series, and Bentley Continental models—meaning the sensor is physically identical but programmed differently.
- Programming Protocol: TIVOLI XLV sensors are programmable via tools like Autel or Bartec. They are not “clone” sensors; they need to be programmed to match the vehicle’s ID.
TIVOLI XLV TPMS Sensor Fitment Table
| Model Year Range | OE Number(s) | Compatible Sensor Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016–2018 | 2N0907275A, 5Q0907275B | 433MHz | Metal valve stem; standard TPMS |
| 2019–2020 | 5Q0907275F, 314818 | 433MHz | Updated valve stem design; same frequency |
| 2021–2023 | 36106798872, 4199035000 | 433MHz | Newer protocol; check compatibility with your scanner |
Note: Some 2021+ models may use a different TPMS protocol. Always verify with a diagnostic tool.
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
Step 1: Check Your Current Sensor’s OE Number
Remove the wheel and look at the sensor body. The OE number is laser-etched on the side. If you see “2N0907275A” or “5Q0907275B,” you’re safe with the RDE047V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Audi, BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini & 8 More | OE# 2N0907275A, 314818, 36106798872. If the number is different, search it against the OE list: 2N0907275A, 314818, 36106798872, 4199035000, 5Q0907275, 5Q0907275B, 5Q0907275F, 777770, 9A790727502, 9J1907275, F11001648001, F110016480.
Step 2: Confirm the Sensor Frequency
Most TIVOLI XLV sensors are 433MHz, but a few early 2016 models used 315MHz. Look at the sensor label or use a TPMS trigger tool to read the frequency. If you’re buying online, filter by 433MHz.
Step 3: Verify Valve Stem Type
TIVOLI XLV sensors come with either a rubber snap-in valve stem or a metal clamp-in valve stem. The 2016–2018 models use metal stems; later models may use rubber. If your sensor has a metal stem, ensure the replacement also has metal. Rubber stems on metal-stem wheels can leak.
Step 4: Use a TPMS Tool to Read the Vehicle
If you have access to an Autel TS508 or similar tool, connect it to your TIVOLI XLV’s OBD-II port. The tool will show the current sensor IDs and confirm if the replacement sensor is compatible. This is the most reliable method.
Common TIVOLI XLV TPMS Issues
- Sensor Battery Life: BH-Sens sensors typically last 5–7 years. If your TIVOLI XLV is a 2016 model, expect the sensors to fail soon.
- Relearn Procedure: After replacing a sensor, you must perform a TPMS relearn. Some TIVOLI XLV models require a manual relearn (driving at 50 km/h for 10 minutes), while others need a scan tool.
- Cross-Contamination: Do not mix sensors from different OE batches. Using a 5Q0907275B sensor on a 2021 TIVOLI XLV may cause intermittent warnings.
Recommended Part
For TIVOLI XLV owners needing a reliable replacement, the RDE047V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Audi, BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini & 8 More | OE# 2N0907275A, 314818, 36106798872 covers the 2016–2020 range and is pre-programmable. It uses the same BH-Sens internals as the OEM sensor, so you get direct fitment without adapters.
FAQ
Can I use a BMW TPMS sensor on my TIVOLI XLV?
Yes, but only if the sensor is the same physical design (433MHz, same OE number like 2N0907275A). BMW and TIVOLI XLV share the same TPMS platform from Baolong. However, the sensor must be programmed with your TIVOLI XLV’s vehicle ID—it won’t work straight out of the box.
How do I know if my TIVOLI XLV needs a 433MHz or 315MHz sensor?
Check the production date on your driver’s door jamb sticker. If your TIVOLI XLV was built before March 2016, there’s a small chance it uses 315MHz. Use a TPMS trigger tool or read the existing sensor’s label. Almost all units after 2016 are 433MHz.
What is the lifespan of a BH-Sens TPMS sensor?
The internal battery lasts 5–7 years under normal driving conditions. Heat and extreme cold can shorten this. If your TIVOLI XLV is from 2017 or earlier and the TPMS light is intermittent, replace all four sensors together.
Do I need to reprogram the sensor after installation?
Yes. The new sensor must be programmed with the vehicle’s original sensor ID or learned via a TPMS tool. Without programming, the vehicle will not recognize the sensor, and the warning light will stay on. Most tire shops can do this in under 10 minutes.
