If I buy a second set of wheels for my car, can the tpms on each wheel simply be moved on to the new wheels, and fit, car throws no errors?

If I buy a second set of tpms for the second set of wheels do they need coding to the car (I presume so), so that the car will accept both sets of wheels? I.e. so I can change the wheels over with tyres already fitted without getting errors?

Car is a MY14 DB9.

Yes but you have to remove the tyre (or push it back off the rim) because the TPMS sensors are fitted from the inside not the outside. Therefore expense and more risk of rim damage this way.

I assume this is same as MY2014 Vantage S with system that shows actual pressure in each tyre on dash screen. I think the car automatically recognises the new sensors so all you have to do is change wheels over and start car and all is well. This is the way I do it and it works fine.
