I'm getting different answers when I do searches on the Internet. Some say it takes computer reprogramming if you're gonna upgrade to the newer style RFA. Others say it plugs right into the older style and you just reprogram your key fob. Also, the TPMS works just fine, which makes me question the whole thing.
The post that I have seen say the TPMS part of the system was not changed at all through the whole C5 generation. I have read that they will work just fine. Another reason, I'm posting here, hoping to get some expertise.

Try searching this forum again. There are multiple members who have updated their 97 to 00’s with the 01 and up system and with details of how to do it.
The TPMS sensors and the Fobs are not interchangeable between the two designs.
I have a 2000 car myself . 97-00 FOB/TMPS are not interchangable with 01-04 . You have to change the RFA module if you want use 01-04 fob/tmps sensors .

Absolutely untrue. I have read a lot of misinformation online about C5s over the years. Can you direct me to where you read that?
Forum member Oelarse has posted a great link. Read it all.

THAT is TOTALLY incorrect. '01-up WILL NOT WORK on the '97-'00, guaranteed-Unless you change other components, too. If you're using the info from this site for other tech info, I'd suggest ignoring anything else they have online. Their TPMS info is absolutely incorrect.....

The Fob's and the TMPS sensors communicate with this RFA receiver.The receiver is connect to the serial bus an the BCM.
I have a Autel TMPS device. I can activate fob buttons and the Autel receive/register the signal from the fob
Buttons just like my Maxi TMPS shows below.
Maybe you can check this at a wheel shop like I do?
Also check the soldering on your fob prior to this check
