Default Can C6 tpms be programmed to a c5?

Just as the title says... will c6 tire pressure sensors work or be programmed for a c5? I wanna know this cause I have someone interested in buying a complete set of chrome c6z06 rims mounted on bfg kdw2 tires and tire pressure sensors... Any help on this would be appreciated

C6 TPMS sensors are not compatible with C5 electronics.

Put C6 Z06 wheels on my 98 vert a couple of weeks ago. I ordered new sensors from tirerack, they were 64 a piece plus shipping. They are cheaper for the 2001 - 2004 Corvettes.
