One of my "new" sensors crapped at early at year 3 on my 2011 128i. So I have a new one and ready to install, but wanted to know if the new unit needs to be "registered" like those on my BMW motorcycle, or do I just install and drive?

It's supposed to be the correct part number for my VIN, and I do have a "wake up" tool.
