Spot on. No bullshit. Straight to the point. No listening to 3 minutes of how his dog is doing or what he ate for dinner.
I have had mine for over 12 months and works fine apart from tolerance of -1psi, through experience of using these devices for a number of years it is ESSENTIAL you smear some grease on the locking nut and tyre valve stem because if they are left on for a few months epeially during the winter without taking them off they can (and will) fuse to the tyre valve stem and you will have a hell of a job removing them..... Just for your info, but a great device which always remains charged, I have never had to manually charge the unit even in poor sunlight....
I think mine have fused on only after about a month..
Happened to my son, hence my post above, we learnt the really hard way😮
I have the same device. It reads consistently 2 psi high at all corners compared with two digital tire pressure gauges of different manufacture, but it's not exactly higher math to do the subtraction. Overall, a useful gauge.
Update: This may be peculiar to the one I have or generally applicable to the product: The LCD display does not appear to tolerate cold well. After an overnight of temperatures in the teens, the brightness of the display is now approximately 25% of its original brightness. About one week has passed and the LCDs are still at that dim output.
Any chance on another update? Is the device still working? Thank you!
@@tomq1804 It still reads the same, however after being parked outside in freezing temps, the LCD display dimmed and never returned to its original brightness.
The sensors are not always paired. Press right button for 3 bleeps press again for full pairing. Remove sensors so no air is leaking and start from pairing from fl/fr/br/ bl in that order
. After each sensor it screwed back in to gain tyre pressure the monitor will beep to state that it is paired
My Sensor pairs,but no beep, and it gives incorrect readings on all four by -2 psi 👎 Not a good device.
Watched multiple videos to get a clarity, but none explained in detail. You clearly showed the menu operations as well as most videos which I watched doesn't showed. Overall, a simple, clear video in just 4+ mins. Good review !! (I am waiting for my order to reach me in few days).
Glad it was helpful!
Being in SEAsia, these type of TPMS are cheap and it works... it may not last beyond 2 to 3 years in some cases but for USD 15-20 , replacing it every 1 or 2 yrs is still acceptable. My last unit lasted me 3 & half years.
Thanks for the good review.
What happens when a sensor gets damaged or lost?
Can it be replaced individually?
So I assume each sensor has it's own battery, are they replaceable, or would a new kit need to be purchased when the battery goes flat?
You just change the battery in each sensor, simple process..
Last week I got a flat tire and ended up driving a good 3 or 4 miles before I found out one of the year tires had gone flat - I was hearing a strange noise, but it seemed to be coming from the front tire, which I checked and it was ok.
I've been looking for a remote TPMS ever since and this one might do the trick. As an added bonus, it costs much less than the US$ 100 one I found.
Nice . To add air to tire- do you have to unscrew the tpms unit only easily? Or do you have to unscrew the little silver nut too which is a mission to do?
The weight of the senders can in time cause the valve stems to leak due to the weight of them, just like trick valve caps do, the skull/dice/pool ball ones etc., also galvanic corrosion between the lock nut and stem can make removing them impossible, so keep an eye on the valve stems for cracking and splitting also when you fit the lock nuts use some grease to stop water from entering, some kits have a rubber seal that fits over the lock nuts, fill it with grease before you fit it.
thank you for the quick set up instruction for changing bar to psi and c to f
I have this unit for my RV been using it for 3 years and it works great
How long do the sensor battery last?
@@Keyno77 I just changed them after 3 years. I usually take them the sensors off in the winter when storing but I left them on this year and one of the batteries was dead in the spring
@@campkayakadventures cool thank you fpr the reply, just wondering because on the amazon ad said they last 3 months which I thought it was too short. Maube they last so little if keep playing and getting readings from unit
@@Keyno77 it's a great TPMS and the price is good compared to other brands. I've had mine since 2019 and never an issue
@@campkayakadventures can you show us what brand tpms have you bought?
My sensores aren't dectected . After i pluged to charger, stoped 3 sensores. Only one sensor is detected, please help me to pair others 3 sensors.
A lot of people ask "how do you pair these?" and i think it's screen 6,
you press the menu button (until the screen changes) and then (with the
right button) kinda cycle through the sensors and mine (after i came
back to the first setting of "00 --- 01" i held down the menu button
(for a few seconds) and boom, the sensors were working. And yeah the
TPMS solar (this version) is DEAD ON with the readings.
Careful with these, the cap will start to ware and will slow start leaking air out of the tires
That's what I was beginning to wonder, because the cap it only plastic. Not a good device 👎
Yep...happened to me, thought I had a puncture but nope, you are correct😊
This is a shot in the dark for help but here goes. I have the same system. However it blacked out. When putting it to charge the battery will Blick with blocks as if it's charging until the third block where it shows as full. After that it doesn't not show any sign of charging and when I disconnect it black out. Any help with this?
Didnt explain how you mount on dashboard? With a sticky adhesive???
Can you set the presser on device to what ever you like for the alarm to go off if to high or low?
yes
Hello, I have the exact same thing. But sadly 1 sensor started reading "- -" then after a while it became "00" with no pressure alarm triggering. I tried to change the battery and resetted the TPMS but it still reads "00" on the RR. I think it needs to be paired again but I tried doing this to no avail.
I hope you can make a video regarding manually pairing the specific external sensors. Thank you.
P.S. I contacted the seller but they told me it was only 7 days warranty. LOL. Then advised to check youtube for videos concerning this. Sigh...
This will add like 20grams to your wheel and effectively makes your wheel unbalanced. Had to take them off due to vibration and even tyre wear
wrong...🤦♂️ the flexibility of the valve stem counteracts this!
There is abselutely no way one of those weigh in at 20 grams.
Competition lol 😂
2:40 why does it need anti-theft if the main base unit is required for these to work? Or are they afraid people will steal these for no reason? I feel like having to use that wrench every time I need to add a little air will become very annoying, do these work without the nut and wrench?
These sensors can be stolen and repaired… that’s why there’s a locker..
@@felliper3143 four sensors and the base unit cost $25. There’s many more car parts worth more than $5 each that could be stolen.
@@lifehackertips but not as easy as the sensor hehe
Yes, it's a tamper nut as explained in the instructions book
What to do after tire rotation? I have the same device but the sensors are internal.
how did you set it up that is what I wanted to see
Does the sendors support battery repleacement?
Yes, easy to change, 2 minute job..
Mine did not come paired and i am struggling to get them paired, took it to multiple shops but no one knew how to fix it
can you shut off the tpms?? or do you just leave it run down?. Thanks Capt
this device has no control over what your vehicle currently has. So if your TPMS light is on... this is just to inform you of up-to date information on what the TPMS is actually....
The instructions to change from Celsius to Farenheigh and or KBar to PSI is not clear. Just hit the middle button 3 sec. then hit middle button again...use right hand button to toggle kBar to Psi and visa versa. Hit middle menu bar to save your selection to th one icon displayed.
How can you change the brightness on the TPMS display as it dims after a few seconds
Love your explanation of this product and its great to view this, I got this from MightyApe but it doesn't seems like it's showing any number even after run my car, it's all show 00 00 no matter is the temperature or the tyre pressure, any idea of which step i might mess up? Thanks lots
How can I pair the sensors with the main device,,, cause its still blinking
has anyone observed an air leak after about one year of use? I am experiencing this and within a day entire air is deflated
I don’t think it would be caused by this , maybe try checking the inside of the tire inflation valve some times the valve inside is loose or the rubber seal around will mess up
Many thanks. How do you turn the alarm beeping off ? Just annoying
Hi mate, quick question. What are they like to fill with air? Normail cap?
Any ioperations issues?Cheers
I just bought the same device. I installed the sensors and turned the device on. It shows the pressure of rear tires, but not the front tires. It shows '0.0' on both front tires and the numbers are blinking. Can anyone tell me what should I do to solve this problem?
Be aware that it claims to do up to bar 5 or just over 72 psi. In reality it gets stuck at bar 4.3 or 62 psi. No good for my motorhome as front is 65 psi and rear is 70 psi. However I’ll keep it as if a tyre drops below 62 psi it should start show up.
If you use an wireless tpms it don’t work for the dashboard light ?
I've seen these but I'm a little puzzled by the two different models, there's an external version and also an internal model so does anyone know what the two different models relate to please? Obviously the valve caps are always going to be external on the tyres and the display unit will always remain internal inside the vehicle so why the two different models 🤔
My prius V needs battery replacement for sensors. This is affordable compared to paying for service to replace oem.
Just buy a new one, 63 dollars online any tire shop can install
is there anyways to reset these? i have one sensor that hasn’t updated even after replacing the battery in the sensor
How do you calibrate the sensors to the right BAR? Mine is 0.7bar out
Does the tpms mess with the wheel balancing? Thanks
My PSI reads just fine but my temperatures are way off , hopefully it’ll calibrate itself with time
The psi and temps are all incorrect on the one I've got 🙄
@@macmac9140 I’m starting to think my psi is off too haha
Y can't I get any reading from my front left side is brand new all the others are working fine can u help
good review just ordered one
I have attached mine but now I can't inflate my tyres as they're not coming off.
My 🔐 not turning it's stuck.
Does anyone else get the loud annoying Alarm when there is pressure fluctuations, my Alarm is constantly going off while driving! Can you turn off the Audible Alarm??? 🤔
What do u do when you have to fill air ?
I ordered this system and found that it was a little difficult to remove the sensor when you want to add or release pressure. Does anybody have the instructions? I can’t seem to find mine
You've got to release the tamper nut with spanner, then the sensor should screw off normally.
@@macmac9140 that's a mission each time. And do that a few times with this cheap quality unit, and watch the nut disintegrate if not the cap unit.
So you have to stuff around. Every time you deflate and inflate? lol
Yes, it's an inconvenience. 👎
Can the external sensors be stolen easily?
That’s what I’m afraid of
Got a question I got one of these the left rear pressure is not registering with the device every other one is doing fine how do you pair it cuz I put all on at the same time
Does happen on occasions, take it off, replace it try again..If its been on for 12 months or so maybe time for new battery in tpms sensor, very easy to change battery..
Somebody help me out. I bought a vehicle with these already on the tires. It used to work, but it died and now won’t pair. I don’t have a manual, so how do I sync these up?????
CptnTyinKnots were you able to fix it?
gio gamelo I got them somewhat working. 2 are normal, 1 reads the wrong pressure, and 1 doesn’t work at all. Going to get a new one.
Thank you so much for the review, I got exactly the same model.
Do u like it??
@@sweendawg7274 good and practical
Says the link is not available
What does it mean when a sensor in locked on pressure and temp? Is it battery in sensor?
How to quickly LET OUT air?
PLEASE!! HOW TO DISABLE THE ALARM?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, It looks like a great idea, but what about the wheel ballance?
The sensors are extremely lightweight and should not cause any imbalance.
I need one, glad your happy with it, where did you purchase it and cost please
Does it detect if one of the sensor is dead? 1 out of the 4 is dead, im trying to figure out which one is it.
I bought one a while back. I got no instructions with it. It seemed to work. I shoved it under my wind screen and dash for a long time. It jabbered at me in Chinese when a tire was low. I finally figured a spot to put it and silicon glue it to the windshield. Now it seems to be stuck with one display. A tire was leaking air and it didn't tell me anything was getting low. I took the right rear sensor off and the display is the same with a reading on the sensor that is off. Where are the institutions? Can it be switched from Chinese? Why is the screen locked up and it is not telling me anything?
Does it turn off by it self or you have to turn off manually
I had model similar to this and one of the sensors is showing incorrect pressure…like all products made in China…it’s hit or miss.
I have installed it but not working.
How to connect external sensors with android app
How do you pump the tyres? Do you have to use tool again to take off or does the top bit flips?
No you have to remove the relevant sensor to pump tyre up then replace sensor..😊
So what happens when one of the batteries wears out in a sensor. Do you have to buy all new sensors? But in asking, I know that just one new sensor for my car is $80 Cnd so I guess I should be happy with the over all price of this system.
You use the wrench to take sensor off tire then take sensor apart and replace battery
Looking Ng at getting some. I see you did that s a year ago are they still all working. I want them for my caravan do they have the range??
Trying to find a manual so I can reset for a customer what brand is this
My sensors and their lock nuts completely corroded and fused together with the valve! I know that I should have put grease on the treads but, now, how do I get them off?!
Wd40, its a penetrating oil
@@IrnBrummmmmmm0 WD40 and a normal wren ch worked. But I damaged the valve's rubber a bit in the process. Thanks!
Hey how do I recalibrate it? I had refilled tires with air and one of them had 28psi but the sensor is only showing 37 and I filled them to 40 and the sensors are still on 37
factory reset to recalibrate.
What keeps the caps charged or how are they reading ? Working via tire pressure ?
Battery inside cap
Its not detecting sensors automatically what to do now? Please help
Is there a way to reset it and re-sync it my screen is frozen
How do you add air to the tire? You need the little wrench for that? Battery in the wheel sensor can I change them ?
Thats what I was thinking, better to get the internal sensors in my opinion. Can add air to the tyres comfortably when needed
I just don’t use the washers, so they are essentially normal tire valves
@@akidim13 It's a nightmare trying to loosen the locking nuts after the weather gets to them!
@@davebiggins58 yeah I figured haha which is why I didn’t install mine , that and the fact that in my 12+ years of driving/owning a car I have never had someone steal my tire valve covers .. to be fair in the off chance it’s better safe than sorry I suppose
How to make brightest display ? I don’t see.
Loved the review
Thank you. I just got mine and was a bit confused on how to set up to PSI
Me too. The instructions were too complicated. This video helped.
Thank you for this, must admit couldn't understand direct translated instructions
Glad it helped
my FL temperature always have much lower reading compared to the other 3 tyres. the other 3 tyres normally have around 35 Celsius but the FL always have around 20 Celsius only. Why is that so?
Mine too..its not accurate though
this is working good, however, I have one tire where I'm unable to remove the locking nut, any tips?
WD40
Galvanic corrosion sometimes makes it impossible to remove....always use copper grease on tyre vale stem prior to fitting tpms sensors to valves, very important point😮😮
Thank you I have a question how the pair the sensor whit the monitor?
The monitor will recognise the tyre pressure in the sensors once installed on the tyre valve stems😊
How does the display work ?
Does it stay on 24/7
Or turn on and off when car starts moving and stops
It detects if your car is moving/shaking, then it turns on.
I just installed mine today. How long are the valve stem batteries good for? My original Honda TPMS sensors inside the wheel lasted 10 years. Can anyone tell me please ??
This externsl type sensor’s battery life is 1-2 years. İnternal sensor types support 5-6 years but expensive than this external sensors
If you leave it in the shade how, can the solar cell work?
Don't park in the shade. 😂
@@johntalbert8227 Where he stuck it, in that pocket, he would need to use the USB cable, instead of sunlight. What I found was that the valve sensor batteries didn't last long.
Hello ...How much trye pressure is accurate???
Is any difference between actual & tpms reading??
Mine was within 2 psi of a super accurate gauge that I have. Plenty close enough. It is just useful to know if a tire is going flat before you feel a vibration.
I have the same one, did u ever figure out how to pair the sensors
Drive your vehicle for around 10-30 mins.
Where did you buy that from, please?
How many psi max can set up can it do it 100?
Mine lost signal with one for about 4 weeks now all of them
How about back light regulation ? Dark by night, and bright by day?
Yes, there's a function for brightness. Zero issues thus far.
Cool product and good review!
The sensors look heavy. I'm wondering that they may affect the wheel balance. I hate a shakey steering wheel!
Have you noticed this?
Not heavy at all
This is a very good question
Do you have to turn it on every time you get in the car?
Thats what I thought. I have one and the display goes off after being still for a while. Lights up when you shake the car (shut the door). Only problem with mine is the pressure are not true, not even close.
anyone experienced a loud sound then suddenly one of the sensor is not working?
do you need to get your tire balanced after this?
No
I had the same thing, but when I drove on HWY, I would slowly lose air, the big the that goes at the end your valve is being for toward the out, which in turn causes air to come out from the valve shaft. I works well on vehicle that will not be going over 50 mph. This is such false advertising.
Does anybody know how to turn off the Chinese voice menu?
One of my sensors seems to be malfunctioning, for the past month the psi has been stuck at 31 and its temp at 41, any idea how to fix it?
It just may be the battery in the tpms valve sensor is dead and needs changing if you have had it in use for about 12 months..happened to me and couldn't figure it out. Changed battery and all OK again, hope it helps😊
Lol i actually figured it out two weeks later i forgot i had posted this 2 years ago and forgot to take it down
@@Goldylockssshow do you change the batteries? I bought these 2 years ago and just unboxed and fitted them today. Sadly 2 out of the 4 sensors do not show anything (only "00").😫😫
Does the batteries in the sensors last long?
Two years they reckon mate.
