The Tire Pressure Monitoring System TPMS works but there are some things the instructions don't tell you. First the tire pressure sensors do not activate until you install them and they sense pressure. I was tinkering with this unit inside for a while and could not get it to work. I installed one sensor on my car and gave up because it still wasn't reading. I brought the display unit inside and turned it on later. When the display came on it was showing my tire pressure in the garage, so I installed the other three sensors and BAM it works like it's supposed to. Second is the display is very sensitive to the viewing angle and loses brightness when you are off angle by much. Due to this and the way the mount is made it is not practical to mount this on the windshield of a car for solar power because you will not be able to read the display. I placed it inside my dash storage slot and like the look of it there as it's out of the way and easy to read. I will just need to keep it charged with a charger once in a while. Overall, it works ok and not a bad value for the price.

This unit is made to monitor 4 tires. it uses wireless technology. The unit i received was not working with a incorporated solar cell. The company returned the one I received and replace it is a short period of time. It is easy to mount in thee windshield and the unit is working as expected.

My yearly mileage is substantially reduced in recent years, but I still put quite a few miles on the ol' commuter.This was reasonably easy to install, but I don't think I would say the instructions are incredibly clear.There are some very thin brass nuts that are meant to lock the valve stem caps/sensors in place. You need to install these first, screw the valve stem cap/sensor next, and then screw the thin brass nut up tight against the sensor. There is a small, thin wrench included to help with this, but I did find that the placement of the valve stem on the rim made it a bit tricky.Functionality is great. I ended up having to add air during installation because as soon as I screwed the sensors on, the head unit started beeping for low tire pressure.Honestly, I was so happy to have TPMS on the car that I would have rated it 5-stars except for two small issues.First, the mounting of the display is a bit awkward and requires a window mount since the solar panel is built into the mount. This wouldn't be a bad thing, except for the fact that being a commuter, the windshield has been replace on several occasions and there is only one set of double sided tape. Not sure how easy removing/replacing will be with the next crack. As I was installing, I was thinking ot would be nice to have the option for a dashboard mount.Second, the display can be tough to read in direct sun. Since it requires a window mount, this makes it tough to read at certain times of day or on some roads where the sun is at odd angles. However, the good news is that you don't have to be constantly staring at it since it will beep to tell you high/low tire pressure.While I never thought I would care to check, it is actually pretty nice to be able to set the high-temp notification as well. In the first day driving, I noticed the temp rise drastically on a hot day and tire pressure go up several pounds while driving.Lets face it... your car only has four points of contact with the road and they're all your tires. Take care of them!If you are looking for an easy way to add TPMS to an older vehicle, this is a great option.

Since 2007, all vehicles in the US were mandated to have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) -- but what about older vehicles? That is where a kit like this comes in play -- and installation is extremely easy. The four labeled sensors simply replace the valve stem caps; unscrew the old caps and screw these new caps on. The receiver and display unit has a slide-on bracket that's to be double-sided tape mounted on the windshield, either along the upper edge, behind the rear view mirror, or at the bottom corner; just make sure there's no obscured banding that would prevent the solar panel from getting direct sunlight. That's is for the physical installation.Once powered on, it's time to wait for the receiver to connect. It may take a few minutes for each sensor to "ping" its readings, so be patient if it doesn't read right away. Once connected, I checked the pressures against my gauge; all readings were within a pound of each other. Holding down the M button will allow one to enter the setup and change the low pressure threshold, high pressure threshold, and high temperature threshold.With that said, there are a couple caveats. The primary one is that the sensors are a lot larger than a valve stem cap. If it protrudes past the edge of the tire, there's a big risk of damaging the sensor or the valve stem itself should it contact a curb or other hard object. Secondly, each sensor weighs 0.35 ounces. Given that wheel weights are in increments of 0.25 ounces, there may be a chance that tires will become "out of balance" after installing these. Taking these to a shop to have all four tires balanced again is suggested.All is well otherwise. When I purposely disconnect a sensor, which drops the pressure to zero, the alarm sounded right away. Barring any reliability or longevity issues, 5 stars. This is an easy way to add this safety feature to older vehicles.

I cannot get the unit to program. I have sent email but received no response.

It took 4 days of attempting to reprogram this none working product...when i needed it pronto so i had to run out and BUY 4 tire batteries to try. Needless to say $8 later it worked for now. Not a happy camper. Didnt have time to return and reorder from another company
