Review on πŸ”‹ GUTA Solar TPMS - 6 External Sensor, Real-time Pressure Monitoring, Sleep Mode, LCD Display, Solar Powered (2021 Update) by Maurice Harvey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice upgrade for an old car.

I ordered this kit for my 2004 Hyundai Tiburon coupe which did not have a tire pressure monitoring system from the factory. My other cars have TPMS and it's so handy I wanted to replicate it in my old but trusted car. Installation was simple and easy and the manual correctly guided me through the steps despite the somewhat confusing wording. The system offers multiple warnings for low pressure, high pressure and high temperature. I'm using the Fahrenheit setting, but a Celsius option is also available. What sets this kit apart from cheaper alternatives is the ability to charge via a solar panel in addition to wired charging. I prefer the solar option as it reduces clutter and quickly recharges the battery under the Southern California sun. The tire pressure readings were accurate and matched my trusty pressure gauge perfectly. Compared to TPMS in my other car. , Tire pressure readings are not displayed as quickly when you turn the system back on after turning it off. While my other car starts reporting tire pressure after about a minute, this kit took about 5 minutes for the sensors to start reporting data to the display. To avoid such delays, I just leave the kit on all the time (also thanks to solar charging). The display is bright and easy to read, even when it's sunny outside, and the alarm sound is quite loud and catches my attention. a way. Luckily, you can stop the beeping by pressing the button once. At $209.99 (as of October 20, 2021) I would say it is an expensive product. But it's worth it if your car doesn't have a TPMS system and you want to reliably and accurately monitor your tire pressure and don't want to deal with unsightly wires running through your dash. I like it. . πŸ‘
