Used TPMS on other Mini question

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but here goes...

I have a separate set of wheels for my mini that came without tpm sensors. My question is if I bought a used set of tpms for the same year model can I swap wheels on the car without having to go to the dealership to reprogram them to work?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can swap wheels and all you need to do is go hit the reset in the menus. Later years don't even seem to need that.

Update: Just as mentioned I installed the TPM sensors and reset them and drove around for about 7 mins. until they reset.
