    TPMS

    I have purchased a TPMS to suit both the D3 and camper trailer, had the sensors fitted on Saturday and I will fit up the receiver next weekend.

    OK - more information required here. What system did you buy? Sounds like it is one of the internal fitting types.
    Pics?

    Yes Richard, i must agree with the wise ol owl. More information would be appreciated, especially as i have been looking to get one myself {yes yet again we seem to have the same ideas on how to set up a four wheel drive }. It does sound like an internal set up, so have you changed tyres? Why not use the valve stem cap version? ???
    cheers mate

    Can't put pics up until I install the receiver next weekend.

    The unit is an Inawise, link: TPMS benefits model TPMS-201-6.

    The transmitters are fitted into the tyres and batteries are good for around 250000 Kms so will do at least one set of tyres probably 2 and can be replaced at tyre change.
    I have 8 transmitters, 5 for the D3 and 3 for the camper trailer, should a tyre go down then all I do is replace the receiver button to match the transmitter as fitted to the particular spare tyre, about 5 seconds (once I have found where I may have placed the receiver buttons)

    As said above I will put pics up next weekend

    Can I ask how much the system cost for the 8 transmitters?

    $720.00 which included fitting the sensors to the 8 wheels but not the fitting up of the receiver unit which I will do myself

    Just for comparison, I'm running a TyreDog 6 Wheel Tyre Pressure and Temperature monitor TPMS. It uses external sensors mounted to the valve stem (+ use a thieft prevention securing ring), so is a DIY installation. The six sensors allow me to monitor the D4 and the single axle caravan.
    RRP is ~$700. New off ebay $420 delivered.

    Had it for about 5 months now - no problems, and a great system.

    That's good feedback on the TyreDog, Ducks - I was in at an ARB shop in Perth a week or two back and the head-honcho there said they'd stopped stocking this brand as so many had come back dead for some reason or other. That was some time ago (that they ceased carrying them) so maybe there's been some improvement / enhancements / quality control as time's gone by? I've looked at this one frequently, and wondered about it - so your experience is worth knowing of.

    Jesse, I hadn't heard of TyreDog problems before, and if I had, that certainly would have made me very hesitant about purchasing one.
    But my experience has been problem free to date. So I hope that continues!
    I based my purchase on other uses personal experience & a 4x4 Australia magazine review.

    No problems for me with the tyredog except for losing 2 sensors. Thieving !#$#'s. I run 6 sensors for the car and trailer.

    I also run a 2 sensor system for the motorbike which has been great as well.

    Great peace of mind with them on.
