Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Solar Powered): Unreliable & Faulty

Re: Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - Solar Powered

Thanks for the update.
It shows that aftermarket/ Accessory TPMS is not dependable. Only option remains is have one inside rims like XUV 500. Are such Rims or sensors available for generic vehicles?

Yes, they are available.

The only reason why I did not buy them is because it is difficult to replace or swap the sensors without help from a tyre shop.

I would take that as an advantage. Sensors inside means they're not prone to theft or tampering. They'll be also impervious to water & Dust.

However, I have to send my XUV tyres across to other city to experienced tyre shop in case of puncture. That's the only downside.

In short, this unit is not dependable at all.

Apart from the battery issue, yet to face such issue with the unit I bought. Keeping my fingers crossed.
