Interesting, thanks. Curious as to what the price will be.
A few days ago I had a low tire. Car alerted me but of course didn't tell me which tire. I went out and looked and it was obviously the right rear. Could see a large flat bolt head flush with the tire. Checked pressure and it was only 20psi. Used my compressor to pump it up to 45 and waited 20 minutes. Still 45. Decided it was safe to drive 5 miles to my favorite tire shop and got it plugged for $20. It's holding so far.
The S really should show individual tire pressures.
CR2032. Pretty big battery.How is it powered? I imagine each one needs a battery of some sort for the Bluetooth electronics.
Why though? You got out and it was clear to you which tire was the problem. The sensors are only good for warning you if the pressure is low. It's no good telling pressures in the say 45-53 psi range with any precision. For that you need a good gauge.
I received my Fobo tire kit a couple days ago, and just tried to install it on my S85. The installation failed and I gave up after multiple attempts because the sensors do not seem to communicate reliably with the phone. I had several mail exchanges with a support agent, and they do seem responsive, but I am not going to waste any more time on that, and I asked to send it back because, even if I could make it work, I would never trust it.
Some of the other issues I had:
- You have to create an account with the company and register your car with them. Then you have to allow their app to use your phone location, which means that the company (in Malaysia) can now track your phone. I was not comfortable with that.
- The app asks you to set the recommended tire pressure for your car, but the maximum is 44 PSI. For my tires, the recommended pressure is 45 PSI, when cold. I am not sure what that means for the sensor ability to read pressure above 44 PSI, but I am sure that my tires, when hot should read well above 50 PSI. It is not clear to me that the app can compensate for that.
Of course, I may be unlucky, over protective of my privacy, lack patience, and worry too much, so your experience may be different.
I'm getting mine today so will put in my two cents once I install. Good to hear it though.
