TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
Has anybody ever tried using an aftermarket TPMS to monitor their bag pressures? I want to get rid of the old mechanical gauges but I'm having a hard time swallowing the cost of typical digital systems. I don't need the auto level functions, just a decent compact digital readout.
I'm just not too sure how accurate these systems are. Even the system on my late model car is a little flaky, it seems. Here's one I'm looking at. The senders screw on the tire valves. I could use a common NPT to schrader adapter. It only monitors 4 pressures so I need to figure out what I want to do with the tank pressure. It also measures up to 99 PSI.  Amazon.com: CARCHET TPMS Tyre Pressure Monitoring...

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
I saw DD's monitor. The only problem, it's too deep, (along with AVS). My plan has been to install it in the sun visor or some other out-of-the-way place. Not sure if one thin enough exists. That's why I thought I could compromise with the cigarette lighter location. It's right in plain view on a 60-66.
Now, I do have two open pods where I was going to install a tach and clock. The DD might look right at home there... |

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
What about mounting it under the dash or maybe inside the glove box?

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
I really don't want to ruin the classic old school look of the interior, ('66), that's why I was going to mount it on the back side of the visor, only to be seen when it's rotated down. I also thought about flush mounting it in the cab structure behind the visor but I'm not sure how much I have between the inner and outer panels.
The glove box might work; just too hard to see from the driver's seat. Sigh!! |

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
You got a ashtray or something on the dash you could make a removeable panel to hide it?

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
Nope! The AC vent is using the ash tray slot.

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
Most TPMS sensors need to see movement, ie tire rotation, to wake up and start relaying information.

Re: TPMS for Bag Pressure Monitoring
During my research I saw some questions on this and all answers were that no motion was required. The external types I am looking at attach to the valve stem and have a battery for power.
The system on my late model car is calibrated by adding or removing air from the tires during the relearn procedure. (Not moving) |
