For this price with this accuracy is consider acceptable i guess. China brand and made in china. Hope it can last over 1 year happy liao 🤭 I thought this requires calibration of the pressure? I bought a similar one for around $24. The little sticky pad does not stick to any plastic surface on my dashboard at all. I don't like loose items on my dashboard for safety reason so I have not installed it yet. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small sticky pad provided i use it for covering the sliver button, to avoid reflection on windscreen. Use rubber mat instead to secure on dashboard, so far ok even during turning or u turn movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sheltered park both at work and home. Thus having it wireless doesn’t work for me. in the end, I bought a cig lighter version. As I didn’t like it on my dash and with the wires. Actually all that is needEd is for it to alarm that you have a flat. Or maybe just a quick glance every 2-3 days to make sure you don’t need top top up the air.

awhtc 6th Gear January 14, 2020 Share January 14, 2020 I am using an external TPMS display now. The pros are very bright and large displays with pressure and temperature information just right in front of you. The con is it draws battery power quite fast. If it does not get full sunlight for the whole day for 3-4 days, I have to recharge it manually using USB cable from my laptop. The pressure in the tires really follows gas laws as higher temperature can push up the tire pressure by 0.1 bar for an approximately 10 degC rise. The temperature display also shows that the engine area can really heat up a lot if the engine idles for more than 30 min. So it is not a good idea to keep engine running while the car is stationary for more than 10 min. Even a hard braking can raise the tire temperature by 1-2 degC easily.

Thanks in advance http://steelmate.com.sg/index.php/tpms/ Just sharing. I got the TP72 and its running okie after 3yrs. Fuss free. U just plug into the cigarette lighter and replace the tyre caps with the TPMS caps. Probably the only drawback is if the cigarette lighter port is in the compartment at armrest there, then gotto open up to see. Lol. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipp June 18, 2020 Share June 18, 2020 Maybe it's better to use cars with pre-installed TPMS? 😏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafansu Turbocharged June 18, 2020 Share June 18, 2020 (edited) I'm using this type of external one, can easily get for about $25 from places like shopee, aliexpress. Cheap and useful, if faulty just get another new set. https://shopee.sg/product/238363918/6536160279 Edited June 18, 2020 by Dafansu ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
