Anyone use one of these systems? I'm thinking of putting this on
the RV. Seen too many horrific
results of blowouts on the highway.

We have them on the Lincoln. Expect to replace some sensors whenever
they break down a tire because the tire guys usually trash them.

I suppose I could always take off the sensors before any tire work
is done.

I think Greg is talking about the factory internal sensors. Both my
car and my wife's has those, and we've had new tires mounted and
haven't lost one yet. I'm sure it does happen though.

The system you're looking at has external sensors which replace the
valve stem cap, so as you say, you could just remove them and
replace with the plastic caps until the tire work is complete.

BTW, the Amazon reviews were very positive. One thing I did notice
is that someone said the monitor placement was critical in getting
a good, solid signal from all the sensors.



I've had several cars with the factory tire pressure monitoring
systems.

The Altima I drive now has a cool feature. If you leave the
ignition on
(but engine off) when adding air to a tire, the car horn will beep
when
the tire is at 32 psi. Don't need a tire gauge.



That is cool.



I've noticed a few minor things that impress me as to some creative
thought on this car. For example, when you use the windshield washer
it first sprays the windshield and then, after a short delay, starts
the wipers. Every other car I've had does both at the same time so you
are dragging dry wipers across a dirty windshield for the first swipe.
Another is if I am in the house and depress the unlock button on the
FOB and then immediately depress it again and hold it depressed the
two front windows go down. Nice for sunny hot days when you left the
windows up and the inside of the car is hot as hell. I am trying to
figure out if there is a way to make them go back up for days that I
left them open and it suddenly starts raining.

I have that and if you have the key in your pocket with something else
it can happen at a bad time. I bought a cover for the key fob and that
did the trick. Mine go up and down. The Z4 will open and lower the top.
