A TPMS, or Tire Pressure Management System, allows you to manage tire pressure and temperature on the go, from inside the cabin. This has long been a feature we wanted to add to the van, but it wasn't until we heard about this little solar powered TPMS going for around 50 bucks on Amazon that we decided to get one.
This is a really neat unit. It's display is charged from solar and the sensors themselves use little batteries, so the whole thing is wireless.
Installation is also super easy and the whole thing comes together in minutes. So well worth checking it out.
Here is the link for the one we got: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
And here is the link for the Hilux Expedition Channel, where we got the tip from: / hiluxexpedition
I hope you find this review useful!

I'll be curious to see how the sensors hold up with some off road use and how long the sensor batteries last.
Wishyouwerehere_rtw We will keep you guys posted! As soon as we have more info on their performance we will share it.
I believe they might loose accuracy with time too as dust will get in them... But only time will tell her
Let's wait and see!
@@OverlandWay What's the update?
@@OverlandWay any update?..
Zachary Schlecht His system failed and he’s now stuck in the outback with a puncture 😂
Any uodate about this battery??
I just got this now from the mail and just installed it... pretty straight forward installation. Your video helped me a lot. Thanks. Will also update how long this will last. I’m in Asia and weather here is a bit unforgiving. 😊
I bought solar powered tpms earlier this month on shopee. Simple installation indeed. Quiet practical for my k-car just about 18 bucks.
I'd never heard of those before...ordering one up. Nice review!
dorelse Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. We found it to be a great little unit. I hope you enjoy it too. Let us know your impressions later on!
Always Great to see one of your Videos.
The big advantage of a TPMS, is catching a deflating tire before you destroy it.
Especially those towing a boat or caravan.
Everyone I know that has these, still gets the odd flat Tyre, but none of them have destroyed a Tyre from driving on it whilst flat for a long duration.
So from that point of view, $50-$140 can save destroying a $300 BF Goodridge!
Great point, Hugh! You could also get an indication of any brake or bearing problems based on tire temperature. It's a pretty good deal for what it costs that's for sure. Let's just hope it lasts lol
tpms available in best price with www.vp1.in
I would like to put these on my dual axle dual tire trailer. Would one interfere with the others signal or would they work independently?
Great video!
I have the same one but I have different pressures on the rear tires and it is impossible to adjust the pressure of the front and rear tires differently.
Nice presentation Alex. sounds like you have some feathered friends keeping your company. I was looking one of these units on eBay but wanted to see what you thought about it first. I am sold.
Can you please us know how long the sensor batteries will last? Is it still working fine because its been almost 6 months though
Interesting gadget...Thinking about purchasing this one for my Delica.
Just wondering though, how do you see this for weekend 4WD trips on sand?
I would imagine the sensor will go off regularly everytime you bring the pressure down to 22-20 psi, since it`ll be way lower than the minimum threshold you would expect on pavement. Any thought on this?
Cheers
Changing the min pressure takes only a few seconds... So I guess you could either leave it low, change it every time you go sand or mute it once it started. It's pretty straight forward. The biggest hassle I see is taking the sensors off to drop and pump the tires :/
Aí simmmmmm !!!!! Adoro a forma que vocês demonstram os equipamentos!!!! E as edições!!!! Parabenssssss!!!! Vc vai curtir ! Eh muito legal ver o quanto varia a pressão em função da temperatura ... e o comportamento da temperatura na cidade e na estrada ! Ação do calor do cofre do motor e o resfriamento da temperatura rodando na estrada quando se equipara os 4 pneus em temperatura !!! Já conseguiram reparar esses detalhes !?
I bought one from ali Express. Jansite.
After installing the sensors the display is not showing any readings. It just stays ON with psi written on one side and °C on the other. Everything else is blank. I'm able to get into program mode and it works fine but the home screen is without any readings. Is my display device or sensor at fault or is the installation at fault?
so what's your followup review? how long does the sensor battery last?
Is still working accurately? And is the lcd light dimmeble to reduce light at night?
Nice review, I was looking at these on Lazada Thailand and wanted a real life review. It's quite sunny here in Thailand. Will solar power keep the unit charged all the time or will the USB cable be required? How about accuracy? Does the reading match what is actually in the tyre? Any air leaks from the sensors? BTW, being pedantic, but I thought the M in TPMS stood for monitoring.
I thought it stood for monitoring as well. I just got myself a unit and I'd say its accuracy is +/- 1 psi
Haven't tested it out in the sun yet
Great video! Can you use a mobile app instead of the solar monitor?
How can I change it from bar to psi?
Quick questions as we are driving in South America. Will we be able to get them in Mercado Libre as well and except the nuts is there any other way to lock them as the car stays by it self and someone can take them easy.
OVERLANDDIARIES Hi guys, AleExpress delivers pretty much anywhere but different countries have different importing rules... So you might wanna ask the local of packages from China usually make it through or get stuck. Amazon delivers to some countries too, so it might be something worth checking.
I can't think of any better way to lock the sensors right now but to be entirely honest, there is little someone can do with one single sensor.... So maybe the locking nut is enough?
Cheers
Do they come with any extra mechanism to lock on the valves ?I am afraid that they will attract attention as they look fancy.
OVERLANDDIARIES They come with the locking nuts I show on the video and that's it
OVERLANDDIARIES there is a lock
what if it gets very hot? will it not explode? because a battery is in there right?
After 2 years.. hows battery condition on monitoring unit? Leaked? Or can run with solar only?
Hi mate, it all runs fine still. The only negative is that we had one of the sensors taken in Brazil and we couldn't find a replacement. So ended up with 3 sensors working :(
How is this holding up now? Any issues?
how are the sensors connected to this unit? how to they send the data? Bluetooth? any battery source for the sensors?
TopTens these are connected via radio. Generally around the 433 MHz range. You just replace a small watch battery in the sensor, (CR1632 or similar). VERY CHEAP! you don’t have to replace the entire sensor.
Cool
Nice review, Alex. One question though... isn't 48psi too much? That's more than 3.3bar. Curious about wearing tyres at such high pressure.
Hi mate, no 48 psi isn't too much. We've been running between 45 and 55 for 108,000 km depending on how loaded we are. We are overloaded though lol
Atm I'm running 2.3bar (33psi) with no extra load added, just the usual weekend camping gear. Trying to figure out the best pressure for fuel economy and tyre wear (aggressive 31" MTs).
PS: Taco is getting bigger and bigger lol
how is it now?
I liked the review, but I'm not sure i like the locking nut principle. It will be quite annoying to untighten all 4 wheels every time you have to refill the tires, which happens a few times over a full year.
The nut is optional, but better to use for security.
@@joshrogers2082 or just screw them on when you want them i guess?
isnt 44 PSI too much? i thought 30 was the norm
Monitoring.
How long did your batteries last - a month i bet so thats 4 batteries per month x 12 = 48 batteries a year lol
Stuck in the outback with a flat tyre i bet lol
Gazzza!!!!!! i'll take your bet at odds of 100-1....so you owe me a s$tload of cash you nufty. Why would they only last a month? Had my system on the car for over a year and the batteries still working fine. Pay up knt.
$11 on ebay
M in TPMS is for MONITORING, not Managing. Already wrong from the start.
Thanks for the correction, Tom. :)
Or in this case: Tom's PMS.
:P
lol, chin up Tom you sadknt. You can get erectile dysfunction medication anonymously in the post now mate, no need for such gloom.
Thumbs down for not replying to comments.
only bla bla.. where are de adjustment, the alarm settings, the handling ... only a air bubble ...
