Default checking tire pressure

learned of this device to replace original tire pressure warning:
https://www.banggood.com/IMars-T240-...QaAmdDEALw_wcB
it replaces the original and is way cheaper.
got it and am working on the instructions on how to install it.
there are several variations with differences in small details and instructions may not match. eventually learned how to replace the battery. but learned that they come with the battery already installed. instructions dont tell that batteries are included, so when i ordered it i also ordered batteries. but you dont need to do so.

well, all went great. had to deal with a manual in chinglish, get the details, and install the fittings. readings are a little bit low compared to the pressure shown in the tester. about 2. i measured 32 and it shows 30. but once knowing this, wont be any problems. the car was developed when there was (is) just 1 light, that dont tell which tire is low (or even more than 1), and the sensors are inside of the tire. when this happens, you have to remove the 4 wheels to remove the sensors and test, then decide if buy just the failing, or all. way more complicated and expensive compared to the new technology, where you install the fitting outside of the tire. and the screen is very good. clear, understandable. advances of technology, that 1 day surprises us with things that we didnt even dream the day before.
there are several similar in the market, that have small differences in cosmetics, but are just the same technically. the design is the same. but not the price. the 1 i got i think is the lowest price.
and as always, the markup is as wild as possible. some go as high as $200 and more.

FYI those pressure gauges in those inexpensive air pumps are not reliable (unless checked occasionally with a couple of little stem type tire pressure gauges that read the same when used). The brass spirals within those pump gauges are very unreliable, cheaply made, and temperature sensitive. Also, can you explain your ("but if like a hot *** leave it in...lol...enjoy") comment? I couldn't figure that out. Oh, your paint job look GREAT!

iI went to the tire stem red-yellow green sensors and have had no issues. They come in all sizes for your pressure and work for me on many cars like my 73 Challenger. Enjoy Woody
