Hey all,
I drive a '15 Nissan Frontier SV, which has TPMS that provides only the most basic warning-light notification to the driver. This is enough to realize there's a small leak in a tire but does not display what the tire pressures actually are anywhere. When I recently replaced the aluminum 16" wheels with steel 17" wheels I bought ACDelco rubber-stem TPMS sensors that successfully integrated into the vehicle's monitoring system at 315MHz. This stands in contrast to my wife's '15 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, which has a toggleable on screen display that can provide pressure information with actual numbers for each wheel.
Recently I saw one of Andrew St. Pierre White's upfitting videos where he's talking about the interior of his latest build, and briefly touches on a third-party TPMS display that he's trying out. He doesn't go into details (mostly he complains about his own poor choice of placement of the display itself) but that got me wondering, are there any aftermarket TPMS displays that can receive input from these 315MHz OE-style TPMS sensors in the wheels to give me a semi-real-time display of tire pressure and possibly of temperature?
I've done some catalog searching but haven't found anything conclusive. Most of what I find use those valve-cap-replacement type sensors, some use the internal sensors, no one talks about frequency, and no one talks about if their units an receive a generic signal or if they have to have their own sensors. I would hope they'd use off-the-shelf sensors, but the sellers aren't particularly forthcoming about anything.
Ideally I'd like a simple display that can be wired into the vehicle that either itself directly reads the transmissions from the sensors, or has a receiver unit that plugs in to receive that information. Barring that if there's a CANBUS unit that can take the vehicle's own reading of TPMS data and display it more comprehensively than just an idiot light that would be acceptable too, but the former is better if it supports possible transmissions from sensors in trailer tires. Would really rather not use those valve-cap type sensor-transmitters when the truck already has sensors.
