Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems

I have tried a few different types and have settled on the Doran system.Works well with 6 wheels anywhere on the tow vehicle ( or more ) and 6 on my caravan when required. (Booster used gave better pick up of spares on rear of van) has a neat Drop and Hook feature for trailers.
Reciever sticks on screen with a sucker thing.
External sensors read pressures and give audio and visual warning when pressure drops. Sensors can be locked quite easily to prevent theft.
I tried a system with internal sensors but it was a lot of work IMHO.
They have a dealer now in Perth I gather.

Hi All,

Thanks for all your opinions whuich have helped enormously.

I've contacted QLD for WA agent details - will post when advised

I use the Tire Dogs on the Discovery but I didn't want to add an unsightly screen to my RR Sport so I opted for the Orange 'Tire Vitals' that uses an APP on my Iphone to show the pressures and temps, alarms etc. I can easily say that the Orange System is the best option I've added to my car since I bought it three years ago.
Don't be put off the cheesy video...these guys are the biggest in the market of TPMS.

Can the Orange work with 5 or more sensors, ie including the spare, and potentially trailer tyres? I looked at it in the beginning, but there doesn't seem to be an option for more than 4 sensors.

I'm really not sure about a fifth wheel with the Tire Vitals. Maybe I should ask them.
They seem to have loads of TPMS solutions in their range though.

Have confirmed the Orange unit will only work with 4 sensors, and there is no way for it to work with 5.
