  • Can TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers Be Used On Towed Vehicle w/ Built In TPMS Sensors
  • The TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers w/ Signal Booster # TM56FR will work just fine with a towed vehicle that already has built in TPMS sensors. The sensors for the vehicle's built in TPMS are inside of the wheel, and the # TM56FR threads onto the valve stem allowing both sensors to be used. I included a video of the # TM56FR being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Can Aftermarket TPMS Tools Be Used To Pair the Tuson TMPS Sensors
  • I spoke with Tuson about the Tuson Towable Tire Pressure Monitoring System part # 335TPMS4WIVS and they stated they do not condone the use of aftermarket TMPS tools to program their sensors. That said, the system comes pre-programmed but if you had to replace one of the sensors or they were not installed in the correct locations then you can use the Tuson TPMS Display Power Cable part # 335TPMS-DPCABLE which will allow you to pair the senors without having the vehicle close-by otherwise,...

  • Can Counteract Tire Balancing Beads be Installed With TPMS on Valve Stem
  • Yes, the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA45FR will work perfectly with your TPMS, but you will need to remove the external sensor prior to injecting the beads. The only time that using these balancing beads with a TPMS gets tricky is when the TPMS is mounted on the inside of the tire - since yours is outside though you're good to go! Attached is a review video of this kit for you to check out.

  • Does Signal Booster for TST TPMS Come With Inline Fuse
  • I reached out to the manufacturer, TST, about the Signal Booster for TST TPMS # TST-507-R, who told me the following: 1) The repeater does come with an inline fuse on the positive (red) wire. 2) All current repeaters do come with ring terminals. 3) When mounting the booster inside (such as in a bay) you can use any SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch. For this I recommend the Pollak Heavy-Duty Toggle Switch - SPST- On-Off # PK34212. The booster can be added to or used as a replacement...

  • Signal Strength Of The Lippert Tire Linc OneControl TPMS Sensors
  • Since the maximum range of communication for the Tire Linc OneControl TPMS w/ Signal Booster for RVs and Trailers # LC37VR is 33 feet, with the repeater, it is going to be necessary. Lippert actually recommends staying under 25 feet from the repeater for the best signal strength. As for turning off the repeater and sensors, all you have to do is close the app and after twenty minutes without use the sensors and repeater will go into sleep mode to preserve battery life.

This kit is a bit larger containing 10 sensors as oppose to 6, however you do get just about everything you'd get with # TM86FR minus the Bluetooth capabilities.

  • Will TPMS Sensors Still Work In A Towed Vehicle If The Booster Is In The RV
  • As the booster in the Lippert Tire Linc OneControl TPMS w/ Signal Booster # LC37VR is just to make sure the sensors furthest from the source, everything will still work properly no matter where the booster is installed. The sensors will all connect directly to the smartphone app and there should be no issue not having the booster in the towed vehicle.

  • Is The TireMinder TPMS Signal Booster Hard Wire or Alligator Clips?
  • The TireMinder TPMS for Single Axle Trailers # TPMS-TRL-2 will come with alligator clips as shown in the pictures. It can be installed either with the alligator clips for a more temporary installation with quick removal. Or I recommend hard wiring it if you plan on using the sensors frequently with no risk of the device draining the battery. The alligator clips may fall off their connections when driving since they are held by spring tension.

  • Do Tires Need to Have Metal Valve Stems for TireMinder TPMS Kit with Solar Power Monitor
  • The only time you'll need to change out your tire stems to use the TireMinder TPMS for Dual Axle Trailers # TPMS-TRAILER is if they are in bad shape and need to be changed out anyways. I reached out to my contact at TireMinder and he said that the cap sensors in this kit only weigh in at 0.3oz so they are light enough they don't warrant metal valve stems. He did say that some of their other kits use heavier sensors (standard is 0.5oz and flow-through are 0.7oz) and for those it is recommended...
