any idea how to reset these devices? I changed my mobile and now unable to pair it to the existing TPMS ( JK Treel). It says the device is already paired or something like that.

You can just login to the App using the registered email id. I have two phones and had to just login with the same account on the second phone. There is an option to transfer to another registered email id under Manage Vehicles -> Transfer.

Any work around?

Its the same for me as well. My S-Cross has a 7 inch SmartPlay Studio head unit by Maruti.

I believe that split screen compatibility for different apps is determined automatically by android auto software and it is not user controlled. It could be like this for the sake of optimum performance based on hardware, display size and aspect ratio of the head unit.

I recently got 04 sensors from Flipkart for INR 800 only. Got it installed at a local tyre shop for 300. All were successfully scanned by the app and working fine. Got a slip along with it with the seller code to be entered in the app. The seller was a genuine authorised JK Tyre dealer from Jaipur.

I purchased skyshop TPMS with external solar monitor for Rs.2600 from Amazon. It works great with a minor difference of +/- 1-2 psi. Keeps track of temperature also. Sensors can be paired manually, tyres can be changed, sensors and monitor are replaced or serviced promptly by customer service. Bought two more for other cars in garage. Anything above 5000rs. is overkill for TPMS.

Does wheel need to be removed from the car? Does the tyre also need to removed from the wheel/alloy?

Yes to both your questions :)

The placement is inside the alloy, so both needs to be removed and replaced.

Answer to all your queries is YES.

You also need to get wheel balancing done post installation.

Picked a set of 4 up for my XL6, By the way, wonder what is the difference between this 799 one and the 1799 set? Both look exactly the same!

BM15 is apparently the latest gen sensor and upgraded system

Take a look at this JK Treel TPMS B1M5 Treel Tpms New Gen 5 Qty Vehicle Tool Roll on Flipkart
https://dl.flipkart.com/s/ame6_3uuuN

Looks like a decent deal for 5 units.

How to make out whether the units are latest or not? I fitted a set on the XL6 some time back but did not notice this BM thingy!

I had clicked the photos of the boxes while the sensors were being installed last month. I checked those photos but did not find this B1M5 or related code anywhere. Nothing in the Treel TPMS app either.

The Flipkart product page mentions "New Gen 2023 manufacturing" against these B1M5 sensors.

Mine are manufactured in May 2024 (except one from March 2024) so I guess I got the new gen ones only.

Mine were July - September 2023; guess they are the older ones then.

What if new Gen ones were released in March 2023? Speculations aside, I hope yours also have a 5 year warranty visible in the Treel app. :)

Reading pressure should be a trouble free process for all types of sensors for upto 5 years.

Bought the Treel TPMS from Flipkart & got it installed in my Linea yesterday.
Adding the TPMS in the App & the setup was bit tricky, but managed to do it.
There is a difference of 1 - 2 PSI compared to my Resqtech tyre inflator, TPMS shows 1 - 2 PSI less, should be ok I guess.
A useful tool to monitor the tyre pressure whenever you want.

Good lord, i received the sensors today for the apparent BM15 latest version whatever and the manufacturing date reads 12/2023! rl:

Sounds like one hell of a scam from these guys. Dropped a 1 star review for it just because of this.

Strangely or not...the product description does say 2023 manufacturing. So my guess is the newest sensor came out.sometime in 2023.

So, some more digging and a call with the seller " The Reliable Company" , mother of all oxymorons await.

1. The older sensor is called TR414, upto 2022
2. The new sensors are B1M series. 5 means 5 sensors and 4 means 4 sensors.
3. 2023 manufacturing or any manufacturing for that matter equals zero warranty support atleast from this seller. The risk is 100% with the buyer. The Reliable Company. Lol.
4. I have paid 1k.for 5 sensors for 2023 manufacturing with no warranty. No longer sounds like a good deal. For another car, i remember paying 500/piece with local warranty and a bill all in with installation.
5. I have raised a return request now. Will.simply visit a dealer and get it done directly instead.
