On a recent visit to have a screw replaced in the cup holder slider and my noisy brake pedal looked at and finally LTE upgrade (well worth it by the way) I asked my SA not to allow any one to mess with my FOBO tire sensors as my pressure was perfect as I showed him on my phone. He said "wow that's cool, why did you install those tho?" I proceeded to tell him that I have 21" wheels and don't want to find out the hard way that one was too low. He said the car will warn you!! I said yes but at what point? You can't monitor the pressure without physically cracking so I invested in the FOBO sensors. I said if my car told me the same pressure I wouldn't need them.
Finally the reason for NOT displaying the tire pressure came out. There is such a fluctuation in pressure that people freak out thinking there is something wrong when really everything is fine.
I can personally attest to that now. I have had the FOBO sensors for about a month and set all tires at 42psi in my garage at 81 degrees on a Sunday morning. There is as much as a 11 degree difference from 39 to almost 50 depending on driving, ambient temperature and road temperature.
Here is a screen shot of what the systems looks like on the iPhone app:
