Nice idea for those who don't have TPMS

For those of you who own an iPhone but don't have Tire Pressure monitoring system on your car, here's a neat solution that uses your iPhone as the display.
It's just been released in Asia but seeing as I fly to China on Monday I'm having one delivered from Taiwan. The BT module will be plugged into the switched 12v supply in the boot of my car since I don't use it anyway.

I've already down loaded the free App from iTunes and apparently this works on all iPhones, iPads etc without Jailbreak.

I had the Tire Pressure monitoring system on Renaut Laguna, nothing but false readings, trips to the stealer at £25 a time, in the end i just put normal valves in. 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))

I'm waiting for reply on price. Of course I'll post the reply when I get it.

There are plenty of other systems out there...some good and some bad. Research will pay dividends in the end for a product that works well. I have the Tire Dog system on my Discovery and have not had a single problem with it...very happy and very accurate. $169 well spent.

In the past 6 months I've had two perished/split valve stems hence I want something on my Sport as well. Retrofitting the LR system will cost a fortune and is time consuming to install. Ra-Ro Sport Super Dooper Charged.

I opted not to get the TPMS on my RRS as the systems I had on my previous Audi's and BMW's we're shocking.
Can't see this as being anything better. I think TP systems are a great idea, but the execution doesn't seem to be quite there yet. Sad ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
