Default New TPMS Programming

Hi,
I've got a 2001 Base Convertible C5. When I bought it 5 months ago, it has chrome C6 Wheels on it. They have TPMS sensors, but my car doesn't recognize them.
I've ordered (4) AC/DELCO part# 25773946 from Amazon. The question is, will they have to be programmed to my C5 before mounting them, or will the internal Tire Learn program mode handle everything with a magnet or tool?

I'd go through the learning process in your garage before taking them to the shop that mounts them to the wheels

So, I could go through the internal Tire Learn in the car with one beside each tire without any pressure?

Yes. It would help to mark which one was programmed to which corner so the tire shop knows where to put each sensor. Of course, you could also just program them again after tire install.

Thank you for the help. I wasn't aware they would program without pressure.
