andrew0401 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Having recently lost a rear tyre at speed (the inside wall failed and the tyre turned inside out!), I was initially very impressed that there was minimal impact on the handling of the car - just increased road noise! Having had the car recovered and new tyres fitted began to think of things that might warn me of problems (if music was on then I may not have heard the change in road noise) - has anyone installed a TPMS system - currently running a 2011 cabrio if it makes any difference. Saw this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rupse-Pressure-Monitoring-External-Displayed/dp/B00ANJ4SHO/ref=sr_1_18?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1370424837&sr=1-18&keywords=tpms on amazon and the idea of using the inbuilt display rather than a box on top of the dash sounded good. Anyone with any experience of this device (or any other TPMS)? Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I know Pete (JetSet) has installed a TPMS. It's one that uses a seperate 'box' and not an existing display, but it might be worth sending him a PM (if he doesn't spot the thread and reply anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
