Default Re: Aftermarket Wheels & Service Tire Pressure Monitor - SVC TPM

I bought one Orange TPMS from US Auto Parts. I found US Auto Parts sells the cheapest TPMS. For other brand, I found most of the internal units are more than $200. This one is only $170. More importantly, it's universal for all passenger car models. I think it's worthy and cheap for me.
Orange TPMS is easy to install. Only need to install sensors and plug in the cigar jet. Then the little kit works. Unlike most of other TPMS, they need some extra cable. Not friendly enough. Moreover, Orange unit tested in many racing car (Formula Renault, Honda Le-Manz 24 hrs) I like speed so much, I was wondering if the speed goes too high and it doesn't work. It seems speed not a problem for it.
Continental Tire mentioned TPMS can reduce fuel consumption. It?s a great info for me. I saw the crude gasoline has been $140 today. I need to drive 2 hrs per day. Saving fuel consumption is also a good news for me.

Also, I heard that flat tire is the biggest reason of non-human factor accident. Watching my tire is another reason I need TPMS.

So, I personally recommend to get one Orange TPMS from US Auto Parts. You can also find one there. (http://www.usautoparts.net/cat...S409S).

Some pictures when I open the box.

First I am not a Hummer owner, however I have the same issue with these tpms sensors. While searching the net I came across a tpms sensor made by a chinese company Alibaba. They sell their products in large lots, ( wholesale ) anyway these sensors are external, screw on the valve stem as a cap and come also in a security version. My question has anyone heard of these things and know where they can be purchased in the good ole USA? Of course the most important question can our factory installed monitors recognize and use them? For a lot of us who change our wheels around, or for what ever reason do not want to be held hostage to the internal units, plus all the tire joints that are not up to speed or do not have the resources to stock every flipping kind of unit and their hardware. As most of you know a lot of these employees are very good at wrestling tires however they are not rocket scientists and I'm sure the dealers do not want to pay the wages of the latter. Any in put?
