Default Aftermarket TPMS Installed on Volk GTV

Ive always been paranoid about unexpected flats...so I got myself this kit made by "Orange Electronics"...I couldnt find anything smaller/better looking than this one.The kit runs about $149 depending where you get it.





However the valve was gonna be sticking out straight...so I got myself these adapters from iForged. $75


Both adapter and TMPS




Assembled


On the Volk GTV



Actual Pressure n Temp Readings




They sell an accessory to mount the screen to the windshield, kinda like a GPS unit, but I got other plans .....mold it/hide it somewhere...

Never seen those adapters before. I may have to try those instead of my bands.

Very nice!

I miss the TPMS in my car, this looks like a nice kit for the money. Can you display temps in F?

Yeah, been reading the manual,you can actually change both pressure and temp units to kPa,psi or F,C.

It also have HI and LOW Tire Pressure warning alarms that you can set at any time.
