Internal TPMS
« on: October 06, 2023, 09:39:00 am »
Been looking at TPMSs. Had the external screw on type that were nothing but a pain. Alarm was constantly going off. And the anti-theft caps made it impossible to remove to add air,especially with arthritic hands. So I'm in the market fir internal sensors.
The only brand I can find is TST, which was the brand of my screw on type & sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.
Any suggestions, ideas and/or opinions.

thanks

 (WH) NOT the answer you are looking for, but I have used this system for the past 3 years and 30K miles and it has worked flawlessly:
 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085C2HMQP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

It is very accurate and I have never gotten a false alarm.  Of course all these add-on TPMS devices are probably made in the same factory and I'm sure quality control varies widely, so no promises that this may perform as well for others.

Also, I not use the "anti-theft device" as I figure it's just not worth the trouble.  Who wants to steal these anyway?

Gary--
I hate to hear that you're having issues with your TST system.  I've had the TST 507 for several years with no real problems, and I've recommended it to others.  I get the occasional false audible alarm, but they're rare and will cancel instantly with a button push--when I look at the display, it's reading correctly, so I think the alarm is triggered by a momentary glitch in transmission of the signal.  I definitely don't use the anti-theft caps because of the extra hassle to remove them--and without them it's simple to pull the caps to add air.  Never had a problem with losing a sensor.
Regarding an internal system--no doubt that a good internal should be more trouble-free than the external units.  In addition to the TST internal that you mentioned, I see that the eTrailer site lists a complete internal system from Tuson.  Also, I see that Tireminder has just released an internal sensor (Part # TM36FR) that is supposed to work with all of the Tireminder systems (that previously had only external sensors).  That unit is also listed on the eTrailer site.  I assume that one can buy any current Tireminder system and then use the internal sensors.

I also run the TST.  10 of them, never really had a problem. Forget the anti theft, they’ll get them if they want them.  Also have the booster installed in the back closet.
