Troubleshooting Lippert Tire Linc Losing Signal Once in Cab of Truck

Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/04/2025

Question:

I bought the Lippert Tire Linc. My travel trailer was pre wired for it. When I connect the trailer and stand outside everything works great. As soon as I get in the truck and start driving I do not get a signal. The repeater was placed in the forward cargo area. Any thoughts on how to connect while I’m going down the road?

Hey Dwayne, thanks for reaching out!

If your Tire Linc OneControl TPMS w/ Signal Booster # C54VV signal isn't reaching your phone in the current configuration, than you might need to try moving the signal booster around a little to see if you're able to get a better connection. I wish I could just tell you to flip a switch or something, but especially since it works just fine until you get into your cab, that tells us the signal just isn't strong enough to get through the cab.

Let me know if you're able to get it fixed!

Hey Dwayne, did moving the signal booster help improve the connection while driving? I'm asking because your experience could help others facing similar issues with their Tire Linc setup.

@JonG I used it for the first time this weekend after relocating it. It helped but it’s still slow. Really what is needed is a separate display that stays on continuously. Not something I have to switch back and forth with. When I go to my maps or the brake it takes a while to come back on.

@DwayneM If you have an old phone laying around you could use that as a dedicated monitor. Otherwise, the only other real solution would be to swap out to a different TPMS, which I know isn't ideal since you just got the Tire Linc. If you end up wanting to go with a whole other system, the TST # TST-507-RV-4-C is an excellent alternative that uses the same style of cap sensors and comes with a dedicated display.
