Oooo... flow through is a nice feature.

I went the inexpensive route with this popular China unit.

I like that it shows four tire pressures and temperatures at once, cycling to others.

I also like that the onboard solar has kept the display running without wires for two years now, after its initial charge via USB.

Some of the sensor batteries are due for replacement now. I also just bought a seventh sensor to use on the spare tire.

I have a Tireminder A1A purchased through a member here at a very good price. I can recommend the brand as it's been working flawlessly.

I installed this system and love it, it works really well with no problems. Guy who sells them is easy to get ahold of and help with install questions. I thought one of my sensors was bad out of box and he sent me new one right away.....turns out my tire valve was bad....

Good to know! Thanks, 68camaro. It's on my Amazon wish list.

Sorry, been away from the forum for a while and am just reading this. Yup, still happy with zero complaints. My batteries on them are starting to fail, but that's an easy fix.

I've been looking for a cheap TPMS that shows all six tires at the same time, and bought this one:

https://www.amazon.com/ETbotu-Wireless- ... SQT2ZH3FGK

It took a few weeks to get here from China, but it arrived a few days ago, and it looks like it will work out great. The receiver/display unit is solar powered, so I just leave it on the dash under the windshield. I like having all six tire pressures displayed at once. Temperatures are also available on a button push.

I had to add these 1 1/4" valve extenders to the front wheels to allow the sender to screw on outside of the wheel simulator.

The tires reported in within one or two PSIs of what I filled them with months ago. These are button type sensors, so they are not very secure, but also not too valuable to anyone who doesn't have the whole system. The same unit is available with internal sensors for a little less money.
