Default Euro TPMS Update

Finally got my sensors sorted for my 2001 Euro spec C5, tiurns out Euro cars run different years so my sensors are only for 00-01 cars, but strangely the sensors removed were the old style large type whereas the new ones are the smaller later type, but they work so great.
A big thanks to Dee Gee and GM Partshouse for their help, for reference Euro 00-01 TPMS sensors # 20807214.

Just one querie,the new sensors still give a reading whilst the car is sitting in the garage whereas the originals only worked when the wheels were turning, is this normal with fresh sensors? I believe the C6 works like this as well?

Seemed to have answered my own question, now the car has been used a couple of times the sensors are no longer registering a reading after being left for a while, so I guess perhaps a sticky switch mechanism in the sensor until being used? anyway all OK now.
