TPMS+6AT (618)

I see wildly different reviews on this product. Some give 1 start and others give 5. I have used the system since April 2018 on my GMC 350 and have zero issues. I thought I would comment on some of the reviews that I have seen. I believe I may know what is causing their issues. One guy shows a pic of a blown out tire and the system reading pressure in it. That is not likely. The system alarms in seconds if a sensor is removed (ie zero air pressure). It is easy as pie to test. Unscrew a sensor and you will get beeps immediately with a flashing tire showing what one it thinks is flat. Chance are his sensors were mixed up. One of them is probably reading zero. Just not the one he thought was on that tire. I suspect that at some point the sensors were mixed up and installed on different tires. The screw on type sensor have to be removed every time air is added. It is very easy to mix them up. They tell people to label them, but most probably don't or the labels fell off because they didn't cover them with clear fingernail polish like the manual suggests. I think a lot of issues are related to not knowing how to or not being efficient at programming the system. Programming is very easy if you follow the directions. There are a number of people that have great videos that walk step by step through it. I think the key is to program the sensors on your kitchen table first. Then take them out to the vehicle. It is easier than crawling around and trying to get to every tire and code it before the system times out. If the system times out the work is not saved and you have to start over again. I think that is the root of the problem for people complaining about having to keep programing the sensors over and over again. The next common issue I am seeing are people complaining about sensors dropping out while driving. RF interference will cause problems. If you have wireless cameras, refrigerators running, and other stuff that can generate RF interference around your vehicle it could cause problems. The way to solve that is by using a repeater. The repeater needs to be closer to the receiver than to the tires. Don't put a repeater in the very back of a 5th wheel and then expect it to transmit all the way to the tow vehicle. They recommend that the repeater should be installed in the front bay of the 5th wheel that is closest to the truck. Not in the back or middle. Metal can cause problems for it as well. The transmitter needs to be in a place that has the least amount of metal between it and the tires/receiver. I've seen people complain about the pressure readings. The EEZ RV guys have a video that talks about the valve stem and that the sensor needs to be able to push it in so air comes out that the sensor can read. In some cases those pushpins are in too deep and when screwing the sensor on it does not push them in at all or far enough to let sufficient air out to read. My bet is this is the problem for the ones complaint about that. This makes them think the batteries are not working and get frustrated when battery changes don't fix the problem. All it takes is a valve stem tool. Unscrew it slightly or replace it with another one. An easy test would be to screw the sensor you think is having problems on a bike or something else to test with. If it is getting a reading from another valve stem then chances are this is the issue. The only thing that I do not like is having to unscrew the low profile sensor every time I need to add air in the dual tires. They are very difficult to reach and unscrew. I can't put them in fast enough to minimize air loss either. The trick to get a good reading is to over fill the tire and reinstall the sensor. Let the system get a good reading, which will be high. Then slightly unscrew the sensor to let some air leak out. Screw it back on and get a good reading again. Going from high to low will let you get an perfect cold pressure setting. Most people fill to the exact cold pressure sitting and then when they screw the sensors on the tire pressure drops below the optimal reading. I am a bit tired of doing this though. I just ordered flow through sensors for my dual wheels. I believe it will be easier to put air in them. The front tires or ones with the valve stems facing out are easy. Speaking of tire pressure readings, gauges are different. Temperature makes a big difference in getting an actual reading. Most air gauges do not have temperature calibration. This is why the EEZ sensors may read different than a tire gauge. One guy mentioned that he had a calibrated racing sensor, but that doesn't mean it is temperature compensated. I have a Steelman 9797 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IQ9I6O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) gage that is temp and pressure calibrated. It matches the EEZ readings exactly. The thing was $140. The only way to perfectly test the reading between the EEZ and a tire gauge is to use a properly calibrated gauge that takes into account ambient pressure and temperature. Another thing to note that I am not in love with his the anti-theft cover. Lots talk about this on here. I agree with them. I took them off. I could have left them on the front tires, but I don't think this is really that hot of an item to steal. If one ever gets snagged I may rethink this, but so far I haven't heard of anyone actually having their tire sensor stolen. They only work with the system they were purchased for. Every manufacturer has a different frequency and encryption. I have had zero issues with it on my GMC 350. I have driven it over 14,000 miles so far with the same batteries and sensors. The thing to keep in mind is that this system isn't just plug and play. It works perfectly if you take time and plan out the install. The main tip is to program it inside the house with every sensor on a table. Test it and get comfortable with how it works before installing the sensors on a vehicle. Problems are harder to troubleshoot after the system is installed.

Update: It's almost 2 years since posting my review below, and the system has worked flawlessly. No problems. Original review (below) stands as written. After checking on-line, it appears to me that this tech has changed a bit over the years, and many use similar or the same sensors. Anyway, I went with EEZTire TPMS from Amazon. It had a couple features that I wanted: Flow through sensors, portable, rechargeable and small sized display, and replaceable batteries on very small, light sensors. The price was right too. $449. Customer service from them was amazing. I ordered a 10 sensor kit on Amazon, and within 1 hour, I got a call from a guy there who asked what kind of toad we had. Huh? I told him a Honda CRV. He suggested that I go with the non flow-through for that. While on the phone with him, I walked out and saw that, indeed, the valve stem sticks straight out, almost to the outer edge of the tire. With the longer flow-through style sensor, they would be snapped off if I rubbed a curb. Changed on the phone with him to the non-flow through for the 4 toad sensors. Very glad I got that call. He also pre-apologized for the instruction sheet that would be enclosed as they are updating it and put his card in the box to walk me though the install if needed. Install - indeed, the instructions were confusing as they evidently had previous versions that operated differently. The newest version turned out to be so simple, even an idiot like me could do it. Just walk around the rig, monitor in hand, and with the tire position flashing on the monitor, screw on any sensor. It automatically programs itself into the system when it sees air. So far, so good. The monitor has an on-off switch and also a motion sensor to let it go to sleep. I just leave it switched off until we go somewhere. Only have to plug the monitor in to recharge every 60hrs of operation (we'll see), but I have it mounted on my dash, close to a 12v outlet, so that should not be an issue. It's fun to see the CRV tires from my coach when it's not even hooked up, but sitting in the driveway. Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on. If further experience yields any problems, I'll update again, but so far am extremely pleased with the EEZTire system and their customer service. Gordon

Used this to monitor truck and trailer tires. The system works very well, and since installed at this time last year has operated without problems for about three months of time on the road. Highly recommended for monitoring a travel trailer - one tire failure back there could wreck a wheel well on the trailer. Not to mention the cost of the tire and the possibility of an accident.

We own a small class C motorhome, and tow a car behind it. This system monitors all 6 wheels on the Class C and the 4 on the car we tow. The sensors screw onto the tire valves, and transmit pressure and temperature. You get a rolling screen reading of one wheel at a time, but if the pressure goes low on any it will alarm immediately. Gives us great peace of mind when driving, especially if we are on long road trips. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star is the range, once in a while the farthest wheel on the tow car loses its signal to the base unit. We then have to either relocate the base unit, and reset it. We replace the batteries once a year, to ensure that isn't the problem. There is a repeater that we could buy, but haven't done that yet. There are two types of sensors you can purchase, one is called a flow through, and you can add or remove air from the tires easily, the other is a smaller cap style that you have to remove to add or remove air from the tires. I use flow through on the rear dual tires of the RV, and the cap style on the rest. A good feature of the system is the user replaceable 3V lithium batteries in the sensors.

i'm a *very* techie guy. Followed instructions to the letter. Tried numerous times over a few days. (Instructions: if you get an LF error, bang the sensor on the desktop !!??? Really? Are you kidding me?) After FINALLY getting all the sensors synced with the monitor (2 hours), i installed the sensors on the RV. Front drivers sensor was literally 7 feet from the monitor. Never once did i get a reading or response from the sensors to the monitor. Piece of junk and 5 hours of my life i'll never get back again. Returned. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime!!!!

I have them on my truck and 2 trailers. Work just fine on the truck and the 20’ car hauler but having issues with the 28’ holiday trailer ones. I only get readings on 1 and sometimes 2 tires out of 4 on the holiday trailer. Not sure what’s up with them.

Bought with 8 sensors Installed 4 on pickup and 4 on fifth wheel trailer Takes 10 to 15 minutes to sink sensors to module so don't turn module off if traveling daily The suction mount does not work find another way to mount it Met factory rep at Quartzite RV show 2019 and he knew that mount did not work He gave me another mount from his booth
