Thanks. I think what it might also be is if you change the settings on your tires (rotate your tires) so it might save those settings as well. I'll rewire it tonight and post up pictures.

I put mine where my ashtray is, but am open to the other options. It is done it such a way that I can remove and put the ash tray back

I changed the wiring last night to combine the green and the red to switched power. Here are some pics of where I mounted it. It was the best I could do with minimal tools

I snapped it this morning on my blackberry.

Nice installs on the Orange TPMS!

I'm interested in this system and am trying to find the dimensions of the display. Can you please tell me? Also, have you found this system to be reliable? My other choice is a Schrader system. It's display is smaller -- easier to place -- but doesn't display all four tires at the same time and is monochromatic, not color. The Orange seems like a nice choice.

Thanks!

John
