Customer Reviews

I have discovered this to be the most beneficial of three numerous right after-market TPMS that I've tried. This valve attachment location has proven a lot more durable than the band method. The simultanous four-time readout is way more user-friendly than those readouts that need a button to be pushed repeatedly to transform among many tires. This unit has verified appropriately sensitive to low tire pressures on numerous occasions. Economical. Extremely suggested.

Right after getting read evaluations and researched Hella TC-400 and Orange Electronic P409s kits, I decided on the P409s given that it is much less high priced, less complex to install, displays 4 tire pressure readings simultaneously and has 1 tiny display unit (vs a display unit AND receiver that the TC-400 needs).
I installed the sensors myself onto brand new 18" BMW aluminum alloys and had my shop use a dial-kind torque wrench to torque the valves (included in the kit) down to 4 newton meters (~35 inch pounds), precisely as the Orange Electronic P409s manual states. If you don't have a dial kind torque wrench (not clicker), then you'll have to have a single to install this kit. I then had them mount the tires on and as soon as they pressurized the tires, the sensors turned on.
The kit contains completely everything you require: valve cores, valve stems, valve stem caps that say (sensor inside), and sensors. The only issue you will need are wheels and tires.
Finally, it takes about five-10 seconds every time you plug the head unit in for the sensors to link up to the head unit. And the digital readout is fairly precise, offering the identical reading that my handheld digital tire pressure gauge gives. What an amazing kit, from the cockpit of my BMW 850i (which has a lot of insulation, I was concerned about wireless reception), I can get the signals from all 4 sensors. There are no reception issues to report.
You can manually set the high and low (pressure and temp) alarm thresholds, and upon trigger of an alarm, the sensor in question lights up red on the display and it starts beeping. If you pressure the leading button as soon as you can silence the beeping. It really is astounding to watch the tire pressures as you drive, you can watch them rise and see how high they certainly do go, this helps a lot because I use monitor my pressures closely to equate to the amount of grip I'm get in the course of some of my efficiency drives on curvy country roads. Getting this kit has allowed me to tweak my optimum cold tire pressures in order to properly balance tire life and grip.
I extremely suggest this item, specially for high performance sports or luxury vehicles. In my humble opinion, the P409s is the way to go for immediately after-market TPMS.
Very important NOTE: It is helpful to note that when you obtain the kit, if you plug in the head unit, the sensors will NOT LINK UP to the head unit Till you install them and pressurize the tires. They have a sleep mode that goes into effect when there is no pressure in order to preserve battery life although the unit is sitting on a shelf. So if you obtain the kit and want to "test" it prior to installing it with tires/air, it won't perform till you basically pressurize the tires and then plug the head unit in.
