Anybody have any experience with iCheck TPMS?
iCheck Tyre Pressure Monitoring System – 10 Sensor Kit | Outback Equipment (https://www.outbackequipment.com.au/icheck-tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-ic010)
I started off with the original ARB system (pictured) but it was limited to four external sensors. Worked fine and I like how discrete it was. But I upgraded to the newer system to accommodate the TVan tyres. Also added a signal booster. But I could never get the booster to work properly and the wheel sensor batteries failed early (but it may have been on the shelf during Covid). But the real bugbear is the display control which cycles through its programs by a button and corresponding beeps. Two seconds for this, three seconds for that, seven seconds to reset. That sort of stuff. It's so frustrating and often you just have to give up and restrain yourself from flinging the bloody thing out the window.
And the beeps. Oh! The beeps. The on-going never relenting constant beeping when it doesn't like something.
Look. I'm off for my therapy session.
But in the meantime, I saw the iCheck system today and it looks promising. I don't want the Safety Dave or similar system as I don't want an industrial display bolted to the D4 dash. I was thinking of putting the Safety Dave display in the glovebox (I have a dual voltmeter display in there and it's not a problem to open the glovebox and have a quick peek in there, so another display would be no problem). But I like the idea of the wireless display that I could pop on the dash (probably velcro to the centre speaker cover) whenever I wanted.
