RS Technik TPMS...reviews?

PhilT3 · 02-16-2014, 09:22 AM

They are priced very well and come in black.

The GREAT price form one of the board vendors is awesome!

However, I am wondering what kind of quality they have...?

I don't want to have them installed and then find out they have issues.

Any intel or feedback on this product is appreciated.

Thanks!

I would also like to get some info on them. Just bought a set for new wheels I'm waiting on and have heard they do not communicate psi on idrive display like the oem tpms sensors do. It's a bit of concern since the vendor claims "works exactly like oem set". Anyone who has some experience care to chime in since the temperature and psi info is important.

These sensors work fine, but do not communicate tire temp and pressures like the OEM sensors. Of course your car has to be coded for you to have these features in the first place. I have them installed on a set of winter wheels, so I am only using these for a few months per year.

That sucks. How can they claim that the sensors work just like oem when they can't fuction with the psi and temp. I have my car coded and love this feature since I know how much air is in my tires. Might ask for return and refund and stick with oem.

I have these and they communicate tire PSI to a handheld TPMS device. But note, one of my TPMS sensors went bad after 13 months of usage. Luckily, the vendor I purchased from is replacing it at no cost.

I've had 3-4 sets on my car from old wheel setups and have had no issues with them at all. Very good for the price and the caps look great.
