Anyone know any more information regarding this cool little toy?
Price, or Installation procedures? Any one install this yet?

Opinions?

 

Its probably really expensive.

 

Yeah, JDM_DOHC_SiR, just told me in the Mugen thread. I checked the price and after yen conversion the thing costs ~$860!!!




Does any other comany make a similiar functioning device?

 

Hope your pockets are deep bro....

Your looking at about $550 just for the wheel sensors and then another $50 for mount brackets and $850 for the monitor system also add $50 if your using Mugen wheels..

Waste of money.....( just my opinion )

 

why even bother you already have TPMS just not as nice as this.

anyway if you did it, wouldn't that keep you TPMS light on your dash
considering you can't run 2 systems at once?

 

Not sure on the integration of this system with the stock TPMS, but you're right niko. The price alone killed the temptation, then add the hassle of hooking it up, especially since I hate electrical work, it's just not worth it.



I just thought it would be nice to see the exact pressure and temp of each tire.

I'm sure some other manufacturer must make this at a more affordable price. So we'll see in the far future, but it's not on my top priority list.

 

isn't all vehicles after 08 have to have tpms??? thats just what i heard. i might be wrong.

 

Nope. Tpms isn't on the Canadian Fits.

I prefer it that way. I can use a tire gauge. Have done so for all the years I've been driving.

It also make it much easier and less costly to have a set of dedicated steel wheels with winter tires.

 

Good to have a rare item 10 years down the road.

 

Also on the Fits that have TPMS, it won't tell you the exact pressure of each tire as this Mugen I-TCMS does.


Cool little gadget, but way over priced.

 

The trick thing this does is give you tire temp on each tire, great for setting up an autocross car. But as everyone says, to expensive.

 

Ya that looks kind of cool. Looks like it would work great. only problem with using a gauge. what happens if you have 40 series tires that look low all the time??? the other day i walked out to my car and drove it on the freeway and it started to pull really hard. so i pulled over. by then it was already too late. i tore up the inside sidewall really bad. luckily it didnt blow and mess up my rim. but if i had tpms it would have had a nice little light to show me.

 

Wow! As a Mugen nut that is a cool item but yup the price is definitely way too much.

Cat :x

 

Yes ...very cool item ... but over priced

 

Man You guys are lucky.. I wish mine did not come with it..

 

Yeah, after reading the TPMS issues threads, I kinda wish it didn't have it either.
And I guess there is no way to disable it since it is/will be required to be on all US cars?
