Kopites Supersonic November 13, 2020 Share November 13, 2020 (edited) A quick question. When pumping of Tyre pressure do yours tpms need to unscrew the safety nut? Can I do away with the nut? Will it function as per normal? Edited November 13, 2020 by Kopites Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly are using CR1632, some use CR1225. The receiver have cigarette type or those with built-in battery with Solar + USB charging type. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not everytime u need to unsecure it to pump air. It's just a antitheft form of hook, doesn't affect its operation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah lor, if people really want to steal, only reason is to replace their own spoilt external sensors, and so they would have the small spanner anyway! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. $15 just bin it. Lasting 2years is not a problem. $7.50 for a year is really cheap insurance knowing you can always catch a puncture before it’s too late.
