I did some research and appears that the S197's only have TPMS capabilities of alarming for low pressures and no live pressures. Please correct me if I am wrong. All this electronic stuff over that past year has me thinking what about blue tooth sensors. I realize they are imported and possibly junk. Optimistically - what if they do work? Could it save time between sessions or even help develop a pressure setting specific to a track?
Has anyone tried these? Thoughts ideas? I'm willing to try them out but only on the street at first. All of the sensors require batteries. The first thing I would do is change out the batteries for new duracells so there is no question of function and go from there. See what readings are and check with an accurate gauge to compare. It looks like they all have a lock nut to help prevent people from stealing - I don't think I would use just so I could get them off quickly in case of a leak.
Theses are only examples of 3 variants that I found:
1. Sensors that are blue tooth that connect to your phone via an app
2. Sensors that connect to a device that connects to a USB port with solar charging and external display.
3. Sensors that connect to a device that plugs into the 12 V port ( cigarette lighter ) and external display. I like the idea of this style since we have the 12v port dead center in the dashboard for easy viewing.
