Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

Here are few cheaper options(but this time they surely can be stolen! LOL)

One

Two

and some info on them.

Rajendra, thanks for the quote!

BTW I was reading about it a bit, and found that batteryless sensors are better than battery type sensors, as the batteryless ones do not require any battery replacement and hence are more robust and long lasting.

Are the ones you enquired battery type or batteryless type?

I checked that an australian brand called visityre has these batteryless type sensors, but I could not see who distributes it in India. Will check and let you guys know.

If the thread reaches to a conclusion with an affordable batteryless TMPS availability, I will surely install one in my car.

Binoy, the cheaper alternatives are eye-catching, and surely will be stolen. Even if two caps are stolen, the system becomes partially blind and usless to a great extent.

Thanks Krishna for the Visityre info.

Tyreprobe are battery sensors but according to the company, the battery lasts seven years. I'm in the process of negotiation and will let you know if they lower the price. I believe they  (Triton) is a very reputed company and they should have good after sales service. Alternative, getting it from outside can also be considered. It's just a matter of time before TPMSs become mandatory everywhere, but I just want to be ahead of the curve

Rajendra, the advantage with batteryless is the cumbersome 'identification sequence' is not needed - it is a significant advantage, because tyre rotation and puncture related wheel replacements will not cause the poor UI console to get confused.

The downside, of course, is the dedicated pickups in wheel wells (though I am not sure whether battery type sensors avoid it).

I got a TPMS finally.

It's from Orange Electronic, Taiwan. Costs about Rs. 7000

Features:

- Temperature and pressure monitoring, real-time

- You can set low-high pressure/temperature for your car tyres

- Gives alarm and visual indication on too-high/too-low pressure

- Works on 12V lighter socket / USB

- Sensor battery life of 7+ years

My Experience

- Easy to install in a tyre shop - they know these sensors - thanks to the cars that come with TPMS pre-installed (new Scorpio)

- Accurate

- Easy to use (changing units (psi, Kpa, Bar/C,F), adjusting for Tyre rotations, switching pressure/temp, other settings.)

Don't have to worry about Tyre pressure anymore - peace of mind while starting the car and on highway.

But most importantly, the TPMS instantly told me the 30 psi at regular petrol pump was actually 38!
