TireMinder Smart TPMS with 4 Transmitters for RVs, MotorHomes, 5th Wheels, Motor Coaches and Trailers

We used this for close to 10,000 miles this last year. Display was pretty easy to setup but a little time consuming. Easy to read screen and sensors worked very good. One issue was that I had the mount on the door. Mercedes Sprinter. A super spot for it out of the way and very visible. But the magnet in the mount isn’t strong enough to hold it while closing the door. It fell off a couple times and now the antenna is a bit loose. I would still recommend using one just watch it when closing the door. I would recommend putting some kind of safety strap on it to keep it from falling.

This is one of the best items I have ever purchased. The instructions are very easy to follow and set up. I use this with my Moto Droid phone. First you go to the App Store and download Tire Minder. (It’s free). Follow the instructions as they are written and by which tire it tells you to start with. I did not have to use the signal booster for my Class C Thor. Be sure when you travel that your phone is on blue tooth. You’ll get alerts if your tire pressure drops on your phone, plus the receiver will beep and blink red. When you set this up, Be SURE to set the max tire pressure, it’s very important for accuracy. These fit on your valve stems tight and perfect. One tip, I put in one extra pound because when you put these on, you loose air! It’s not defective, it’s how each cap determines the pressure. This is one item you should have if you own a motorhome. Keeping tire pressure monitored is extremely important as one flat could cause a major crash. These are well built, are accurate, and easy to install. The battery in the monitor lasts a long time. I used this for 1776 miles with out charging it. It does come with everything you need to charge it and a booster for those with big motorhomes. It comes with extra batteries which is great to have if one battery gets weak or dies. Excellent quality, easy to set up, easy to use, and monitor.

I purchased this on the advice of the RV repair shop I used for extensive repairs on my Motorhome with a tow car. Installation was simple and I bought the 10 transmitter pack to cover the vehicle and tow tires. Since installation I have received daily false alarms where the pressure will show extremely low, and the temperature something that makes no sense, like -40 degrees. The alarm will go away after a few minutes. This is with the signal booster installed and even while parked in a rural area with very little chance for interference. I contacted Minder support, and they suggested replacing the batteries. I did so, and continued to receive false alarms from every transmitter. They they replaced the Bluetooth receiver. Initially, they said they were replacing the transmitters too, but when I received the package it only has the transmitter. I continued receiving false alarms. I contacted them again, and they said they would send 6 replacements transmitters. When I received the box, the was a SINGLE transmitter. I am a single full time RV traveller, and need to plan to receive mail. The back and forth with them has taken over a month, and they STILL have not fixed the problem. My experience has been constant false alarms, slow back and forth with support, undelivered promised replacements, and a high price, plus so much time to try and give them a good faith effort to fix the problems that the return window expired. Would have been nice if it worked, but based my my experience I recommend you stay away from this product and look for something different. I regret my purchase and all the time spent allowing them to try and get this flawed system to work properly. Update after a year: I hate this system even more and do not use it. Has never worked properly. Noisy and annoying beeps from receiver. Software is awkward to user years out of date, and never updated. I regret this purchase and resent the $500+ as well as the wasted time I spent on it.

A couple of things to know. First, the pressure readings will not match the readings on your tire gauge. I have several gauges that all read within 2 psi of each other and these sensors read 5-10 PSI higher than the other gauges. As long as you are OK with this and understand the goal is to monitor for changes in pressure, you will find this useful. Also, keep in mind that you will need to set your baselines to match the readings on your monitor, not the readings on your tire gauges. Second, this set comes with 6 transmitters and a wrench to remove the transmitters. I also purchased 4 additional transmitters for my tow vehicle. These additional transmitters do not come with a wrench to remove them and since you need to remove them to add air to your tires, this becomes a problem if you keep your wrench in the RV like I do. I did contact the manufacture and they instructed me to send in my registration and they would send me an additional wrench but so far, about a month later, I still have not received it and you cannot buy one from the manufacture so keep this in mind. Third, my blue tooth transmitter turns off sporadically. Your phone will give you a warning that you have lost signal and it is easy to turn back on but this gets frustrating on a long drive. Despite all this, I still get some piece of mind that my tires are not suddenly losing pressure. Update: I was contacted by a company representative. After discussing the discrepancy in tire pressure between my gauges and the Tire Minder readings, they sent me a new unit to try along with one of their digital gauges to check my tires. They also sent the additional locking nuts and wrench for my tow vehicle. I am headed out this weekend for a trip to the Southwest so I will update my review when I get back. Second Update: After a 3700 mile round trip, the TireMinder does give me peace of mind while traveling. It still reads 5 lbs higher than the actual pressure on all tires even after replacing the unit. However, I set my baseline pressure to the reading pressure (Tow vehicle tires are 35 PSI but TireMinder reads 40). I set baseline to 40 and it worked well. I also checked pressures before departing each AM which let me know if I had a leak. I did have an initial problem of a "tire leaking" alarm every time I stopped but after noticing one tire monitor was starting to read high, I replaced the monitor and the "leaking alarm" stopped. After using for a long trip, I do recommend TireMinder. If you understand the limitations but use it for what it is (to monitor for changes in tire pressure), it works very well and does give reassurance that tire pressures are stable and appropriate.

I decided to get this tire pressure monitor system with the app because I didn't want yet another screen for our RV travels. I had read some reviews that loved it and some that absolutely hated them and had lots of problems. Here is my experience: 1. Installation - Super easy to install. Take off the caps on the individual tire pressure monitors, insert the batteries on each one, screw them onto the tires. I did not use the security clip things after reading they caused these to leak air a lot of times. I then zip tied the transponder part on the frame near the battery and clipped it onto the battery leads for power. For the car monitor itself you just have to charge that up and turn it on. 2. App use - After installing them on the tires you connect your phone via bluetooth to the transponder in the vehicle and then set up where each of the tire pressure devices is on the tires. This just took a few minutes. They all connected instantly in the app. You also need to set a baseline for everything so it knows when to alert. The app then tells you the pressure and the temperature of each tire. The app is a little dated, but supposedly an update is coming. However, it works. It's easy to read and figure out pressure and temperature. I haven't had any issues with them giving false alarms or not reading correctly after a few trips and a few hundred miles. The only issue I had was the first one I got sent had a bad transponder that wouldn't charge up. Amazon quickly exchanged it for me and the second one has been great. I think I can give a good recommendation on these after using them quite a bit. Hopefully they continue to work problem free.

These tire pressure monitors work great and provide peace of mind when on cross-country trips. Excellent support from the manufacturer.

I have been using this product for a little over 2 years. At first things went pretty well. Then I started getting false warnings from the device that mounts in the vehicle that did not show up on the mobile app, which I keep on at all times when we are traveling in the auto scrolling mode. It got to the point that you kind of tune the alarms out. Not really good for a device that is supposed to warn you of potential problems. The other issue is the sensors themselves. The clip that holds the batteries in place are so flimsy, the solder joints break easily either from removing or replacing the battery and from normal vibration which renders them useless. On our last trip, I was unable to get the sensors to connect to the app trying multiple times before giving up. About 3 hours into our 4 hour trip, I noticed in my side mirror that one of the drivers side tires on our 5th wheel didn't look right. When I finally found a safe place to pull over, the tire was already smoking. Had the device had been working correctly, maybe it would have notified me of an issue. But I have to wonder if it would have, since we had a blowout on a previous trip did not give any indication of a problem. Maybe just a catastrophic blowout that may not have given any indication. But I have to wonder how effective the product really is. After the last problem, I unistalled the app and reinstalled it and began to reprogram the sensors. Out of 4 I could only get 2 to work. Now I have 2 broken sensors that the battery mount solder joint has broken loose. This product should give me piece of mind. I have lost all faith in this device. I can not recommend this product. UPDATE: After writing this review, I sent a copy of it to TireMinder. They responded almost immediately and after a few emails between myself and Kyle Bianchi from TireMinder to gather more info, it was thought that the problem may be in the Bluetooth adapter. Kyle asked me which product I would prefer and I chose the i10 system as I thought it would better for my setup. Received the item a few days later and was able to get it set up, for the most part. I could only get readings from 2 of the 4 sensors. And was able to program it to my old system as well. Another email to Kyle explaining that problem was definitely a broken battery clip on 1 sensor, which had completely broken off. The other had 1 area were the battery clip was broken at the solder point. Kyle sent me 2 replacement sensors and everything is up and running properly. I can't say enough about TireMinder's customer service. Kyle made sure that I was satisfied with the outcome and that I had a system that I could be confident that should a problem arise, it would alert me. Only time will tell how this new monitor and sensor performs. Changing my rating to 5 stars, mainly due to the excellent customer service.

In 2017 after having two tires blow out in the middle of the night on my 5th wheel trailer and doing almost $4,000 damage I learned of the Tire Minder. I purchased the unit hoping to avoid a repeat of this damage. After purchasing this product for my Truck and 5th wheel trailer I installed the unit in less than 30 minutes. Very easy. However, on my first two trips within 5 minutes of pulling out of my driveway I began getting a "high pressure" reading on two of my tires. Stopped and checked and the pressure and it was exactly as it was when I left home. I contacted customer service, Jessica, and initially got a very quick response with some suggestions on what to try to correct the problem. I informed them that I was about to go on a one month 4,000 mile trip and would try the suggestions on that trip. Unfortuanately, the problems only got worse. Each time I stopped and checked the pressures they would be within a few pounds of the PSI that I put in them before I left home. Following is the email I sent to customer service after returning home from my trip. 'Well, I have just returned from a month long 4,000 mile trip that I had hoped would provide different results from my shorter trips. I could not have been more wrong. Of the 8 monitors I have installed on my truck and 5th Wheel only 2 worked correctly. I will give you a brief summary. I started out with the truck tires set at 75 psi and the trailer tires set at 105 psi. Within 15 miles of leaving home on the trip I began getting alerts of "excessive tire pressure", my term. Stopped and checked the pressures manually and they were exactly as they were when I left home. Now to fast forward I received an alert about every 20-30 minutes. The alerts were mostly for excessive pressure but occasionally I would get one relating to low tire pressure and it would show "0 psi". And the other one I would get would be tire leaking. I finally began mostly ignoring the alerts but when I would get one I would look in my mirror to make sure I had not had a catastrophic failure which I have had in the past and the reason for my purchasing your product. During the trip I checked the tire pressure manually at every fuel stop along the way. And not once did my tire pressure every fluctuate except for the 2-4 pound increase which I expected when I went through the mountains in Colorado. At this point I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in the performance of your product. At one point I was receiving so many high pressure warnings that I increased the base line pressure in an attempt to stop the error warnings. To no avail. I would get the warning and it would read between 120-125 psi. Check it manually and it was within one pound of the pressure when I left home. I will keep this on my truck and trailer and continue to only check my mirrors when I get an alert just to make sure I don't have another incident as I did 18 months ago where I had two tires blow out on the trailer and did not know it until I had gone about another mile causing extensive damage to the trailer. But I would not recommend this product and I would not purchase it again.' I have yet to hear back from Minder and that email was sent almost one month ago. I don't know if they are trying to figure out what the problem is or what is going on but I would have expected a response by now. This has the potential to be a very valuable product based on my experience there is still product improvement to be done. The time has expired for me to return the unit or I would have definitely returned it for my money back. But as I said in my email to Minder I will keep it on my vehicle and just check my mirrors each time I get an alert and hopefully prevent a repeat of my previous accident. A few days after posting this review I was contacted by Jessica from Minder Research. Apparently the old reliable inter web is not so reliable and the email I had sent was not received. Minder has since sent out a replacement unit which I have installed and will be leaving on a 2 week trip this coming week. I am changing my overall rating to three stars since because once actually receiving my email Minder promptly contacted me and sent out a replacement. They also asked me to contact them once I have returned from my trip to report on the accuracy and performance of the replacement unit. They seem genuinely interested in seeing that the unit works correctly. If we get the erratic readings issue resolved I will once again update this review and give the unit 5 stars. As I said in my original post this has the potential to be a great product if I can get the bugs worked out. Stay tuned.
