According to the first paragraph here, Porsche uses a central receiver: https://porschetpms.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/tpms-facts/
Scroll down a bit at this link to where the illo is and the is. Alex K's second paragraph claims Porsches have receivers near each wheel: https://forums.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/can-someone-explain-why-individual-tpms-reporting-wouldve-been-so-much-more-work (Not sure how Alex K arrived at this. Perhaps because each tire position is identified.)
Oh, well. At someone's next official servicing that dealer might be willing and able to answer authoritatively.
