MOTORHOME FREINDLY
I didn't like this product, I LOVED IT.I was concerned due to the fact that I was fitting this on my 8 metre MotorHome with no wiring whatsoever.My concern was the distance that the wireless signal would have to travel to reach the monitor. I need not have worrried.I charged the monitor up using the lead provided. I then checked the tyre pressures were correct.I fitted the sensors to the tyre valves as clearly instructed and one by one up came the correct pressures.I am now sitting in my back kitchen diner looking at the tyre pressures with my MO HO in the drive way almost hidden from view apart from the top corner at the other side of the house. See pictures.My driveway is so narrow it would be impossibe to inflate or fix a flat tyre with the van in situ so this is a great tool for me not only whilst on the road but whilst parked up sometimes for long periods in the driveway. Top marks to Tymate, this is a great productFor your information. Distance to the top corner of the van from the monitor on the kitchen table is 10 metres.

Awesome!!!!!!!
Over the years, I have had numerous units like this. The previous ones worked extremely well were reliable and did what they were supposed to do. The only frustrating aspect of them was extremely poor instructions and often took 30 minutes or more trying to get it to work. When I receive this, I assumed that same frustration was going to occur, so I put the sensors on the tires, got a comfortable lawn chair, sat down with the instructions and prepared for 30 minutes to maybe an hour of frustrating programming. To my complete the delight and amazement, when the unit turned on all four tire pressures were reading perfectly along with the temperatures. I immediately ordered a second one of these for my second car. I checked all of four tires with a calibrated tire pressure gauge, and they were spot on.

Great
Extremely surprised how well this thing works. Had it on my vehicle now for 6months. Not a single issue. The attachments for the valve stems is a bit big but doesn’t matter on my car because they are hidden from view anyway.

It works great
when you are installing you dont need the nut that comes with it. Just install the sensor and you will not have any problems. I took them off my winters and reinstalled on my summers without any issues.

Excellent (after my goofing up install a bit)
After being told by my car dealer that there were no aftermarket TPMSs(Tire Pressure Monitor Systems) for my 2002 truck and spending $300 to have internal sensors installed in my 2015 car winter tire/rims, I discovered many aftermarket external TPMSs online. I could have returned my $300 internal sensors, but I decided not to because I like my car being able to monitor my summer and winter tires (on separate rims, so I only need to have the summer tires/rims swapped out with the winter tires/rims. Easy.Now, I wanted to have the external TPMS for my 2002 truck since internal sensors will not work with my truck. So I bought these. However, I wanted to have this TPMS also for my Prius as the factory internal sensors only send an alert when *only 1* of the 4 tires has *only low pressure* and no other information. It is a bit of an unnecessary pain to have to check all 4 tires for low pressure, if the low tire is not obvious, which often it is not.I decided to install this TPMS on my Prius, and I am very happy I did. Soon I will install this TPMS on my truck also.Installation was a bit of a pain, because I was playing around with all the buttons before installing the sensors and I goofed up the assignment of the sensor with the different positions they are labeled for: Front Left, Front Right, etc. I took me quite a while to reassign the sensors to their correct tires, which turned out to be very easy: just select a tire position and unscrew and rescrew the sensors. The monitor assigns that sensor to the correct position automatically.The video instructions online are spoken in Chinese (?) and the English subtitles are very minimal and nearly worthless. This needs to be addressed! Should have subtracted one star for this, but I am too happy overall with this TPMS.Both the monitor and the sensors are *much* smaller that I had expected them to be, and very happy about that. The hub caps on my Prius allow for very little room around the valve stems, but these sensors "just fit", fortunately. My box contained 4 dust caps for the sensors, but they are very thin and relatively flimsy, so I don't know if they will stand up very well to the changing seasons.As for tire pressure accuracy, I filled and checked my tires with an expensive Astro tire pressure gauge. I set them all at 38 PSI, and the TPMS monitor read all 4 perfectly at 38 PSI. Can't get much better than that! Of course the pressure changes while you drive, but that is normal. I changed the default setting from Bar and C to PSI and F. Very easy to do.It would really be nice if these sensors could be monitored while *not* driving, but I get it---that they need to conserve battery power and put them to sleep when the car is parked. You have to first drive "12.4 mph" for the sensors to activate and send their signals to the monitor. The monitor activates automatically when receiving signals from the sensors; so you don't have to turn it on every time you drive. The backlight also activates automatically in low light.I decided initially to not install the brass nuts used to supposedly secure the sensors tighter. Due the different in the brass nuts and my aluminum(?) valve stem, I am concerned about galvanic corrosion over time. On the other hand, it appears the the female connector on the sensor is also made of brass, so there might be corrosion anyway. Hmmmm, so I might install the brass nuts later, since leaving them off might not make any difference. The sensors do seem to be very snug when tightened down by themselves, with any air leaks.You cannot set the high and low pressure limits independently for all 4 tires. You set the *front* tires limits, then you can set the *rear* tires limits and then the spare tire limits. That works for me because the readings from the 4 tires are still *read independently*, telling you exactly which tire has dropped before whatever limits were set.According the another review this model is the latest, a monochrome display replacing the older, apparently faulty color display. OK. Actually, a color display could be distracting while sitting on my dash.I am hoping I will never need the USB cable to power the monitor. (The instructions say to charge the monitor with the USB cable before using the first time. OK; I did that.My manual says that it can "Monitor up to 7 tires." I don't know how that would be set up.I plan to install this TPMS on my 4-wheel truck soon. I also have a 2-wheel RV that I tow with the truck. When I do that, I will simply take 2 of the sensors off of my car and put them on the RV!Summary: I am quite happy with this TPMS, and if it holds up over the years it will be one of the best accessories I have ever bought for my car and truck/RV. To be able to monitor even just the air pressure and have an alarm go off if the pressure drops below the programmable limits I set is just great.

good product very poor directions
It took me a considerable time to get this product working because the video directions were so poor. I finally figured out how to fix the problems on my own and the product then seemed to work fine. Vidio instructions are no substitute for a well written set of instructions. These Chinese translations to English were so poorly written that they become useless and the video instructions were no better because they had no depth about describing the product or procedures for programming.
