Yes that is almost correct.
All the valve senders are marked with a different color. Once you put them all in your tires you run a test from the main unit which identifies which color you put and were. For example red front right, green front left e.t.c. Now if you want to replace your wheels for example from front to back you have to replace the valve senders too.
If you don’t replace the valves you will still getting readings from the tires but then you have o remember which color is were

that sounds about right, you also have to be careful when fitting the tyres too, always start and finish at the valve otherwise you end up crushing the sensor, and theyre not cheap to replace, renault ones are about £300 a piece and i think the lexus one are even more expensive, not that i have ever broken one

Maybe it was through my old police training, but I never drive without doing a once around the car.
It happened to a friend of mine. Lucky for him he was already inform the owner of the tire change garage that his car is equipped with this feature and the garage paid for the replacement of the sensor.

hes a narc!...but yes I actually have driven on a flat for about 100 miles before realizing that it was flat. I didnt really notice it because they were low profile rubbers and it wasnt as glaring as usual. Luckily it was replaced from my Tires Plus incident. But the inside sidewall was chewed up and actually started cracking significantly...scary to think that the tire could blow out at any moment...define "special" or would you have to kill me if you told me
