Nice piece of kit, there are a few other features like cross axle alarms.

It probably does not better or worse than a $100 unit.

The auto rest I enjoyed on my trip to Lucindale last year.

Certainly can’t complain if works providing it

The best feature is once you air down and re-fit the sensor the system automatically changes the set pressures to the base line pressure. Other systems people turn off the unit until they air back up.

It also takes an SD card and records pressure and temp, you can download and send to OEM along with say the dump truck size and loaded and unloaded weightS and type of tyre and they advise correct pressures to run.

Oh my god. That is exactly what I don’t like about these systems. Every time I would air up or down it needs resetting or can’t be used. Very cool.

Yep......nice feature.

Although Andrew St Pierre White mentions adjusting the setting on TPMS is a pain so he turns is off when he lowers tyre pressures....and goes in to says you don’t need TPMS on lower tyre pressures. Er dunno about that.....

I had thought about the safety Dave model mainly because I can link the camper trailer to it also. What made me look elsewhere was that I couldn’t work out where to mount the display that still looks good.

That’s why I chose the redarc brake controller - the fitmeant looks factory

No one mentioned - the factory units have the sensor inside the tyre, fixed to the wheel, not as a valve cap. Can't be knocked off (either by light fingers or a stick)

I love stock / oem solutions where possible - looks tidier most of the time.
Does the factory tpms behave properly in instances of airing down etc, or does the dash light up?
Anyone got a pic?

Crikey, they’re expensive. I think I’ll go aftermarket and use the ‘savings’ to fund a set of Tuff Ants.
