Are '07 Mazda 3 TPMS Sensor same as '09 Mazda 6?

[tommyz23]

I have a friend with an extra set of 2007 Mazda 3 TPMS sensors. Does anyone know if these are the same sensors in our 2009 Mazda 6 tires? Are they compatible?
I'm thinking about getting winter tires and these would save me some extra expense.

Don't know, but I recall that if you select "wheel package" on tirerack, it will give you the option for TPMS . . . that'll tell you the frequency.

If the frequency is the same for the 07 and 09, it's probably talking the same protocol.

Thanks for your help. I didn't realize that information was there. They both say 315 MHz.

Cool looks like a match.

Make sure your buddy'll take it back if it happens to be wrong, but I can't imagine they'd be different.
