Understanding LAMORE TPMS Compatibility
LAMORE vehicles share TPMS architecture with their parent GM platforms. Most LAMORE models—particularly sedans and SUVs produced after 2008—use 433MHz clamp-in sensors. Before ordering, locate the original sensor’s OE number. Common numbers include 13530661, 13533166, 13538565, and 13538566. If your sensor shows any of these, the BL-ST-097 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Nevo | OE# 13530661, 13533166, 13538565 is a direct replacement.
Important: Some early LAMORE models (pre-2008) may use 315MHz sensors. Always check the frequency printed on the sensor body or in your owner’s manual. Using the wrong frequency will cause the TPMS light to stay on and prevent signal reception.
What to Check Before Ordering a Sensor
1. Sensor Frequency
- 433MHz – Standard for most LAMORE 2008+
- 315MHz – Older models (rare, but verify)
- Programmable sensors exist but require a tool; pre-programmed units save time.
2. Valve Type
LAMORE vehicles exclusively use clamp-in sensors. There are no snap-in replacements for this brand. Verify the valve stem length—standard is 32mm, but some SUV models use 42mm stems for alloy wheels with deep recesses.
3. OE Number Cross-Reference
If the OE number on your old sensor is illegible, check the vehicle’s service history or use a TPMS scan tool to read the sensor ID. The table below shows the most common LAMORE-compatible OE numbers:
| OE Number | Compatible LAMORE Models | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 13530661 | LAMORE 2009-2013 Sedan | Original equipment for most |
| 13533166 | LAMORE 2014-2018 SUV | Slightly different internal programming |
| 13538565 | LAMORE 2019+ | Updated chipset, backward compatible |
| 13549707 | LAMORE 2020-2023 | Requires 8-digit ID registration |
B2B Bulk Buying Notes for LAMORE TPMS Sensors
When purchasing TPMS sensors in bulk for a workshop or resale, consider these points:
Pre-Programmed vs. Programmable
- Pre-programmed (like BL-ST-097): Ready to install. No programming tool needed. Ideal for shops servicing multiple LAMORE models because the sensor auto-learns to the vehicle after a relearn procedure.
- Programmable: Requires a TPMS programming tool (e.g., Autel, Bartec). Useful if you stock one SKU and program on-site, but adds tool cost and labor time.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
Direct China suppliers often require MOQs of 50-100 units for custom packaging. If you need smaller batches, check if the supplier offers mixed assortments (e.g., 10 units of BL-ST-097 + 10 of other frequencies). The BL-ST-097 covers Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and LAMORE—so one part number serves multiple GM brands.
Packaging and Labeling
- Request bulk packaging (plain boxes or bags) to reduce cost if you relabel.
- Ensure each sensor has the OE number listed on the packaging or barcode for easy stock management.
Relearn Procedure
After installing new sensors, LAMORE vehicles require a TPMS relearn. This is done via:
- Magnet method (older models): Hold a magnet near the valve stem while the vehicle is in learn mode.
- TPMS tool (2014+): Use an activation tool to trigger each sensor in order (LF, RF, RR, LR).
Factor in tool cost if you’re B2B supplying to shops that don’t own one.
Is the BL-ST-097 Right for Your LAMORE?
The BH-Sens BL-ST-097 is a factory-equivalent clamp-in sensor pre-programmed to 433MHz. It fits LAMORE models using OE numbers 13530661, 13533166, 13538565, and 13538566. BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) is an OE supplier for GM, so this sensor matches the original in build quality and signal strength.
If your LAMORE falls within the 2009-2023 range and uses any of the OE numbers listed above, this sensor will work without additional programming. For B2B buyers, stocking the BL-ST-097 reduces inventory complexity because it covers multiple GM brands, not just LAMORE.
Recommended Part
For a direct replacement that fits most LAMORE models from 2009 onward, use the BL-ST-097 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Nevo | OE# 13530661, 13533166, 13538565. Confirm your OE number first—if it matches 13530661, 13533166, 13538565, or 13538566, you’re good to go.
FAQ
How do I know if my LAMORE uses 433MHz or 315MHz sensors?
Check the original sensor body for a frequency stamp (usually near the OE number). If the sensor is missing, look up your LAMORE’s model year in the owner’s manual or contact a dealer. Most LAMORE vehicles from 2008 onward use 433MHz.
Can I install a BL-ST-097 sensor myself, or do I need a shop?
You can install it yourself if you have a tire machine and torque wrench. After installation, you’ll need to perform a TPMS relearn using a magnet (older models) or a TPMS tool (2014+). If you don’t have a relearn tool, a tire shop will do it for a small fee.
What’s the difference between pre-programmed and programmable sensors?
Pre-programmed sensors (like BL-ST-097) come with a fixed frequency and OE profile—just install and relearn. Programmable sensors require a tool to set the frequency and OE number before installation. For LAMORE, pre-programmed is simpler and more reliable if you match the correct OE number.
How many BL-ST-097 sensors should I order for a fleet of 20 LAMORE vehicles?
Order 84 sensors (4 per vehicle + 4 spares). Bulk discounts typically start at 50 units. Since the BL-ST-097 also fits Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet, you can use the same part across mixed fleets—just verify the OE numbers match.
