Chinese TPMS

[MPS]

Hi guys/gals

Spotted this cheap aftermarket TPMS system on ebay, toying with the idea of trying it out. Looks quite good for the money.  Has anyone tried this themselves? I know RedRobin has a more expensive kit.

One potential problem I've spotted straight away is the physical dimensions of the display unit, would it plug in given that the 12v socket in the ashtray is offset - or would it foul the side before it was fully plugged in?

Maybe more luck with this one perhaps?

Thoughts?

They both look OK to be fair, and very handy you don't need to take the tyres off to fit the sensors!   

There comes a point where there is too much information in the car though.  It's why I swiftly sold my Polar FIS+.  I found myself flicking through loads of parameters and watching them, instead of watching the road!  And paranoia sets in if any numbers are different to what's expected.

Ignorance is bliss

This is very true
