I have not extensively used the lone USB charger though (just checked if it is working), as I am using the 2 USB chargers of my voltmeter plugged in the other cigarette lighter interface.

If I heard him right at $28,- that is only P1,400...

I will check it out at Amazon... And, if I am okay with it for the next few months,- I might just buy another set ....

So i had it right pala. [emoji3]

I wasn't really sure because i was a bit preoccupied while the vid was playing. Hehe

Anyway, if your unit will hold up the test of unpredictable local road conditions then this find of yours is really a good buy bro

when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you

Advantage and disadvantage between internal and external sensors? Sa accuracy?

Same lang bro.- pero, I like iyong internal (in my case- OEM) better...

Matrabaho lang kapag nagpalit ng baterya... tanggal ang goma, kasi nasa pito... Anyway, every 3 years siguro...

At tyre rotation,- parang iikot din ang orientation - haven't done it yet.... Sa akin okay lang,- basta may sumingaw,- check lahat ng gulong....

Iyong external,- as I said earlier,- takaw nakaw... magnanakaw, kolektor o iyong nawalan ng kapareho....

It'll pay for itself though we won't feel it because it's kinda preventive maintenance ang dating. 2011 I was suppose to buy a set na kaso it costs P6k. After I few months I ended up driving with a flat tire. The tire costs P5k so I'm effect, if I bought the TPMS prior to that incident, bawi na. Immediately after that incident bumili na ako. Onwards hindi na nangyari because you get to check the tire pressure everytime you drive.

here are the things i considered 2.5 years ago when deciding which sensor to buy.

internal sensor advantages
- di mananakaw unless nakawin buong tire
- no need to remove the sensor during top up ng air

internal sensor disadvantages
- mahal, around 2k+ ang price difference nya for steelmate brand when i bought my tpms
- disposable sensors since hermetically sealed sya it's not possible to replace the batt but batt life is 5 years.
- DIY installation not possible
- needs wheel balancing upon installation
- hassle sa tire rotation kasi kelangan ideflate ang tire para malipat yong sensors

external sensor advantages
- mas mura of course
- easy DIY installation in 10 mins
- replaceable battery and has 3 years batt life as per manual
- no wheel balancing needed kasi magaan lang sya
- easy replacement when sensor get defective

external sensor advantage
- posibleng manakaw. i don't consider it madaling manakaw kasi without the right tool masisira mo yong sensor bago matanggal

sa accuracy same lang sila +/- 1 psi. those are the things i considered kaya i ended up buying external sensors. i don't know kung true pa ba lahat yan, didn't do any research anymore after buying it. baka malaki na improvement ngayon ng internal sensor

Nope. Each sensor is marked FL, FR, RL, RR for specific tire locations.

^ so kapag external ang sensors, mas convenient sya kapag nag rotate ng gulong kasi mas madali sya i-set kumpara sa internal ones, that is if tire placement specific ang mga sensors nito

That is correct bro...

In my case, for my internal sensors/transmitters,- I do not remove them anymore even if I rotate tyres...

I just take note where I moved them.

Because if one becomes underinflated,- it's my warning to fill them all up....
