Specs:
This TireMinder Smart TPMS monitors the pressure and temperature level of the tires on your RV, motorhome, 5th wheel, motor coach, or trailer. The system utilizes sensors that attach to the valve stems of your tires. When a tire sensor detects an anomaly, it will wirelessly transmit an alert to the Bluetooth adapter, which relays the data to an app on your smartphone. Your smartphone will emit an audible alert to notify you of an issue and will display details regarding the anomaly. You can connect to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to display the details of your tire on your car's dashboard. A signal booster is included to provide a constant, strong transmission, and to eliminate electronic interference.
Initial Setup
The TireMinder Smart TPMS is easy to set up and includes all of the tools and mounting hardware necessary for installation. First, attach the TireMinder sensors to the valve stems of your vehicle's tires. Next, install the Rhino signal booster in a protected area near the front or rear of your full towing setup, depending on your application. Set up the Bluetooth receiver in the cab of your tow vehicle near your smart device. Finally, install the TireMinder TPMS app from the Apple App Store or Google Play to your smart device and assign the sensor positions through the Learning Mode in the app. Once the tire sensors have been recognized by the app, you're ready to travel.
Note: Your smart device must be compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 to use the TireMinder Smart TPMS app. The app is compatible with iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 7+ and with Android devices running KitKat 4.4+.
App Alerts
Specific text for app alerts will display in the dialog box. Once an issue is detected and an alert is triggered, the system will check the effected sensor every 6 seconds for updated information until the issue is addressed and the readings go back to normal settings.
App Functions
The app provides multiple options for displaying your pressure and temperature readings.
Auto-Update - Triggers instantly updated pressure readings.
Auto-Scroll - Scrolls between all of your sensors so you can view pressure and temperature automatically. Cycles at a rate of 6 seconds per tire.
Auto-Search - Lets you erase all of the previous pressure and temperature readings for a specific tire and refresh to find new, updated readings.
Bluetooth Receiver
The TireMinder RV Bluetooth receiver acts as a relay between the tire sensors and the TireMinder TPMS app. It provides visual and audible alerts when a tire issue is detected, acting as a backup monitor to the app on your smart device.
A DC adapter with a Micro USB connection is included to charge the receiver's internal lithium-ion battery, and the receiver can be used while charging. It takes about 6 hours for the adapter to fully charge. A single battery charge will last between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on how much you use it. A notification will be sent to your smart phone if the battery is running low.
Tire Sensors
Make sure your tires are inflated to the pressure level specified by the manufacturer prior to installing the sensors. These pressure levels will be used as baselines to determine the high/low pressure warnings. It's best to install the sensors when your tires are cool.
You can also install flow-through adapters (sold separately) that let you air up your tires without removing the sensors. Simply screw the adapters onto your valve stems, and screw the sensors onto the adapters.
Brass vs Aluminum Tire Sensors
Your vehicle's tires will have either rubber or metal valve stems. RVs, motorhomes, 5th wheels, and trailers will generally have rubber stems with brass valve cores or metal stems with steel, chrome, or nickel valve cores - all of which work with the TireMinder brass sensors. This TireMinder kit comes with 4 brass sensors. You will only need aluminum sensors (TM-2ALUM - sold separately) if you're towing a car or light truck with built-in TPMS and aluminum valve stems.
It's important to choose the correct TPMS sensor for your vehicle. Pairing the wrong metals together may lead to galvanic corrosion, which makes it impossible to remove the sensors from the valve stem. If this happens, you will need to replace the valve stem or, in some cases, the whole tire. Matching the sensors to the construction of your valve stems will ensure the sensors won't corrode.
Rhino Signal Booster
The TireMinder Rhino signal booster improves the signal strength and range of the sensors. It has dual Hi-Db antennas that let the booster cut through signal interference coming from wireless electronic devices used in surrounding automobiles. It also ensures that the link from the sensors to the Bluetooth adapter is strong and continuous. This is crucial for operating the TPMS on large vehicles such as RVs, 5th wheels, or motorhomes. The unit has a green light on the front panel to indicate it has power and a blue light that blinks when it transmits a signal.
Even though the booster is weatherproof, you'll want to install it in a protected area on the underside of your vehicle to prevent corrosion. For a towable RV or camper, the optimal mounting location for the booster is toward the front. For a larger, drivable motorhome or RV, the optimal mounting location is toward the rear. This allows the booster to communicate clearly with all of the tire sensors. Other possible mounting locations for the booster include your battery compartment, attached to your license plate light, or on the front of your car hauler.
Once you've mounted your booster in a good location, connect the red power wire and black ground wire to a 12-volt or 24-volt power supply line. The booster needs to be mounted securely to reduce vibration. Zip-ties are included to fasten the booster and wires to your vehicle or trailer.

Minimal false alarms. Batteries for the sensors are hard to find. I’m very happy with it.
Do you have a question about this TPMS Sensor?
