Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems

**TonyB-Oz** · 28th January 2013, 03:19 AM

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.

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 inquired via the website, and hope for an answer soon.

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