If any body wants them, you will need to get it from taiwan

Hi Naveen
Will the Orange P409S work or suite the scorpio rims if I get it from the USA

Yesterday the tyre shop owner showed me the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. It's manufactured/marketed by a company in B'lore. It's a set of four pressure monitoring devices which sit inside the rim, and a small LED screen which shows the pressure/temperature of each tyre.

The pressure monitoring device attaches to the valve using a screw (hollow in the centre to allow air movement. There are separate, bigger size valves for this. The LED screen can be powered through the cigarette lighter socket in the car.

The whole system is available for 6k, with a year's warranty.

There's no fifth sensor for the spare tyre, and during tyre rotations, you would have to spend money to remove the sensor from the tyre going into the back, and mount it into the tyre going onto the car. Shame there's no fifth sensor.

Let me know if anyone wants to buy it. I can help with the shop's address.

Can the TPMS be fitted on tubeless tyres fitted on steel rims or do they require the alloys?

[honeybee]

The TPMS can be fitted to any types of rims, steel or alloys. They are IMO suitable only for tubeless tyres, as they sit inside the rim. With a tube tyre, the tube won't fit snugly with the TPMS sensor between it and the tyre.

With a tube tyre wouldn't the sensor need to be inside the tube?

[honeybee]

Hmmm.... And how do you propose to put it inside the tube?

Hi Everyone! I'm back!


I'm considering a TPMS solution for my fortuner which was when I came across the "orance TPMS" device, from a company in the US.

The product link: Car TPMS + GPS Aftermarket Kit - Aftermarket TPMS Kits by Orange Electronic

This device has the TPMS sensors and the display and also has GPS!

I'm wondering whether this would be compatible with the Fortuner.

Any suggestions from the experts?

Also, is there any TPMS solution that I may integrate with my existing Pioneer AVH-P3250 DVD HU? This would be of a great convenience and ergonomy!

The TPMS works only with tubeless tyres, so if your Fortuner comes with tubeless tyres, any TPMS should work. There's no other compatibility. Ah, you may need to have a 12v socket to power the system, but again I am assuming the Fortuner has it.

About integration with your existing HU, I doubt if it would be possible, unless you were to hack the TPMS unit and connect it to your HU. Each TPMS ships with its own receiver and display unit, so you will have to go with the one which you get. Also unlike reversing cameras, the TPMS sensors work wireless, so there are no wires to plug into your existing HU.

I installed this one on my Swift - working great so far:

Unfortunately there is no device which will integrate with an Audio system.
But the Orange TPMS (Which is from Korea) is pretty small and fits in the dash of any vehicle seamlessly.
I've got one on my captiva and i10... 5years and no issues

Looking forward to read about your experience with this. E.g. after driving --- km temp rises in front tyres by-- and rear by--. Give us some idea as to how fast tyres heat up when driven.

[archat68]

Sorry for late reply.

Here is today evening's update:

At start after office.
Ambient temp. : 21 deg C
Tyre pressure: 33 PSI front, 31 PSI rear (was set to 34/32 at 28 deg C about 2 weeks ago)
Tyre temp. : 21 deg C all.

After a run of 40KM. first 30KM at around 60-80KMPH, last 10KM through heavy traffic and lots of braking.

Tyre pressure :35 F/32 R PSI
Tyre temp. : 36 deg C (F), 30 deg C (R).
