There isn't a crossover, it was a change to do with the 2013 dash upgrades as each tire could be read individually and shown on the screen. If your Jeep came with single washer nozzle on the hood it's not a 2013.
315Mhz for the 07-12
433Mhz for the 12-17
Check the model number on your receipt and see what frequency it should be.

Think 4wheelparts is trying to hose me again, here's the situation.
4 weeks ago purchased a set of wheels and tires from them online for carry out. Added TPMS sensors (Orotek) to the package of 4 as I didn't want to tear down my old set of wheels and tires to move my sensors over. Picked up the package, installed the wheels myself, check TPM message comes on after driving around 15 miles. No problem I thought, from my reading after driving some it should pick up the new sensors.
3 weeks later the system still doesn't recognize the new sensors, just a dash on each wheel in the EVIC and a check TPM message whenever I start the Jeep. Headed back up to 4wheel today to have them figure it out, they said that they'll need to inspect it and there next availability is in a week (WTF?). I go ahead and schedule that.
Then the tech says that there's going to be a $115 inspection fee if it turns out the sensors aren't bad. He says they probably need to be reprogrammed, and if that's the case the fee will apply. I told him I'd talk to the manager when I bring it in for the appointment.
A couple things don't make sense to me - I'm under the impression that the sensors I bought are already set up for the JK (the tech confirmed the part number was right this afternoon) and I can't see why in the hell I should be responsible for paying for paying more out of pocket for a brand new set of wheels, tires, and sensors that never registered.
Anyone have thoughts?

I've yet to see my new 13' JKU, but this poses a question for me... does the dash show WHICH tire is low on air? If so, how does the computer sense which sensor is giving a low pressure reading?

Turns out the wrong sensors were installed. Went in earlier in the week to talk to the manager, who told me that it won't matter because all JK use the same sensor. I pointed out that was incorrect, and told him to look up the part numbers. He then came back and said that it looks like the ones I needed were on backorder, which is probably why they subbed the others, but he would switch them out for me on Saturday. Heading up there tomorrow and hopefully leaving sorted.
