PM or reply for questions or details

 

i have the same system WORKS GREAT!!

 

Anyone know if these work with the stock hollow spokes? (I know the valve stems on the hollows are pretty unique)

 

I know some systems do, in fact there is a DIY here at 6speed where the cig tray had been deleted and a tire pressure meter had been put in its place.

 

my audio & performance shop has a mounting kit that mounts the TPMS to the inside of the rim.

How easy is the install?

 

Info from Hella's site:

The new Hella TC400 system is FMVSS 138 compliant and meets or exceeds the same specifications as all OEinstalled systems.

Hella’s TPMS is extremely flexible and can be installed in any vehicle that is not originally equipped with an OE system or has been fitted with upgraded or custom wheels. In the event of a wheel change with an OEequipped system, the Hella TPMS will allow the vehicle to stay in compliance with Federal regulations.

Hella’s new system uses tire sensor valves in place of conventional tire valves. These high tech sensor valves transmit the tire’s pressure and temperature by radio to the control unit, which forwards the data to the ****pit display. In the event of sudden pressure loss, the control unit triggers an optical and acoustic alarm. Additionally, the system also warns of overinflation and slow loss of pressure.

The TPMS display can be placed anywhere in the ****pit at the owners discretion. An exclusive feature of the system’s display is the ability to change color to match the vehicle instrument lighting. Seven different colors are available: blue, red, green, orange, light orange, white, and light blue.

The display shows the position of each tire on the vehicle and displays pressure and temperature for each tire individually. The display can be easily reprogrammed after a tire change or rotation, and features bars and sections on the tire symbol, which change according to the amount of air pressure. The temperature gauge on the sensor allows the driver to
determine the accuracy of the readings as the tires expand and contract from outside air temperature. Each tire can be monitored separately by highlighting the appropriate tire symbol on the display. The air symbol appears along with a warning symbol below to indicate a sudden loss of pressure such as a blowout.

The Hella TC400 system is compatible with nitrogenfilled tires but is not suitable for use in heavyduty applications. It comes complete with an adaptable color display, four sensor valves, central data unit, wiring harness, stepbystep mounting instructions, and a user’s manual.

Although the Hella system comes with four sensor valves, it can accept up to seven (7) sensors, which also makes it ideal for use with trailers and dually trucks. Additional sensor valves are available from Hella separately.
