you can get the system with external sensors that replace your valve caps or they make one with internal sensors where you need to take off the tires to install them. I bought both. I’m putting the internal in when I get my new tires installed, running the externals for now.

The receiver does not work with the OEM sensors.

Thought TPMS was Federally mandated in 2008... my 08 has them.

Perfect. I actually changed to the internal sensor version a few weeks ago and put this one on my gf car.

i use something like that (at least the interface looks the same) for my trailer tires . the module however is solar powered as well so it sits on my dash when towing

That's good to hear! Thanks for the reply! I was nervous about the quality of the external sensors because of a few reviews on amazon but I think those may just be operator error. Wish I would have found the internal version when I put new tires on, not wanting to pull off my tires for the install.

Just a thought on the external tpms they could tear the valve stems your best bet is internal or replace the valve stems with metal ones. I put the metal ones on my motorcycle with a t on them so I don't have to remove the sensors to manually put air in if necessary



Quick Reply: Added tpms where the cig lighter is
