TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INSTALL || Oricom TPS10-4E External TPMS || DIY Install + Review

what's to stop thieves from stealing sensors at a boatramp or when vehicle is unattended?

Great review, Oricom sounds heaps better than ARB External TPMS especially to set up.

The video does not show how to adjust the sensors for a trailer/van and after viewing the comments I now know why. It appears it can’t or is very difficult. If it is possible show me how on an updated video.

Following your review I went and bought a set. I have found two problems with the system: 1) The display is impossible to read if you use polarising sunglasses (and who doesn't!) 2) I'm not an idiot, but I found the instructions to be unclear and not easy to follow.

Once you have screwed the gold nut up and put the plastic cover over it, do you need undo the gold nut each time you want to inflate the tyre pressure or do you just unscrew the cover only?

no off road mode.

Great review, the only issue with these types of monitors, is when going off-road and need to deflate / inflate tyres you need to keep removing these first, then fiddle around to put them back on, for long trips and towing they are a great idea,

Just got the 6E + 2 for my van but can’t get the back two to work
I’ve got a booster but still nothing happening

I accidentally deleted the data from 2 of my sensors on the car tyres Can you please advise on how to get that data back thanks

Hi Nick, as always another great video. I would like to see if the Solar panel in the unit can be moved to the dash only, and the unit moved to the console. So we keep the solar charging. To keep the car cooler. Please keep what you are doing, you are one of the only clear spoken presenters on 4x4 in Aus.

Great show but how about a video of how to adjust the values for high and low pressure ect

My 2c.
Great idea but has a few annoyances that I'm not able to work out yet.
First is with polarised sunnies on, you can't read the display.
Kind of sucks you can't have separate pressure alarms for vehicle and trailer tyres. Our car is on 33-34 PSI but the camper is 52PSI.
Even when setting my alarm to 60 PSI, the alarm goes off even if the trailer is 52PSI. I am hoping that this is something I've done wrong and not a problem with the device, but it's annoying the piss out of me.

Would love a video on adding sensors to a van or trailer. I have and can't get them to work. They keep beeping that I've got 4 flat tyres.

Hi Nick, I’m wondering if the weight of the sensor(included battery) + nut 🔩 on each tire will cause tire to unbalance?

What powers the sensor in the cap? I have just bought one form the caravan so we'll see how it goes.

Can this be used in a performance application?

Great video mate! Just wondering, do you have to use the spanner to remove the sensor every time you want to let the tyres down? Or is there a cap on the end of the sensor that allows access to the tyre valve?

Hi Nick, I’ll be interested to see how long the main module lasts. I’ve run an Orion and an OBD2, both brands shit the module in 6-8 months, usually internal battery because of solar panel failure. I bought the missus a cig plug run module 5 years ago, and bar changing the TPM wheel batteries every 2 years- zero problems.

Great review Nick, think I need one of these 👍 Only downside I can see is deflating/inflating going off/on road!

I think this is a bit gimmicky. In over thirty years of offroad driving from the NT, QLD, WA, NSW and VIC I have been able to pick up problem tyres by sticking to a stop and check schedule. I learned this driving military vehicles offroad. A true advantage would be a CTIS, or continuous tyre inflation system as fitted on a number of modern vehicles like the Thales Bushmaster PMV.
However, I would probably go for the TPS-91 internal sensors. Spend a bit of extra time fitting and spend less time worrying about losing a sensor in a mud pit or by act of bogan scum.

It would be fun to have a detailing video with your MUX after an off-road escapade 😅

Batteries need to be replaced after 2 years.
My S D TPMS is 5 years old and still using same batteries and have spare batteries 8 in all that were supplied .

One thing even tho your an ambassador for oricom would beto a comparison on your brand and the S D tpms .

But i dont think that will ever happen as i guess you want to keep oricom on side.

Cheers

Hey Nick,
Do these work on cars also, or is there a different one for cars?

Very nice Nick. I wouldn't mind seeing how the internal sensors go, I presume they would need to be fitted by a tyre shop? Thanks for the review.

I have a TPMS set on my 4WD, and I think they are "a must" safety gear for your 4WD. As important as having ABS or airbags. They do add a level of complexity when deflating and inflating your tyre, as they can be a pain when removing and putting them (sensors) back on. But the benefits TPMS provide outweighs that little inconvenience.

I use one that is not Oricom but the display (graphics and colours) are uncannily identical. I won't be surprised if they were made from the same factory in China. Although my receiver unit is one that is stuck on the windscreen. Keeping it out of the dash top, for a tidier setup, and giving the the unit unblocked access to sunlight for charging, yet the screen is still easily visible by the driver. In the beginning, I used the spanner tool provided to tighten the nut to fully secure the sensor on the stem. But after several tyre deflation and inflation, you get annoyed with it after a while. But I've found, finger tightening the locking nut works just as well. Haven't lost one yet after 12 months use.

Hey Nick, can you see the numbers on the monitor if you have polarised sunnies on? Looks like a newer model to mine, which I can’t see when driving cuz I always have my sunnies on. Cheers

Hi, I'm french follower, soory my English isn't very good!😊 I'm D'MAX owner.
How do you do to inflate or deflate the tyres with these on? Do you have to remove the system every time?


Thanks for your channel!👍

I've got the ORANGE in tyre TPMS, with the hardwired receiver in the tyres of my DMAX. It works great and helps a lot. The major drawbacks as the sensors are fitted inside the tyres, when I do rotations of the tyres, I never know which one is where... also they unit cannot be expanded above 4 tyres.
I believe newer models can, but thats what I'm stuck with atm.

Will eventually look at probably replacing it.

Hi Nick I love the rims on your mux mate are they roh assaults?

Hey Nick great video thanks, can you set the sensors individually. Ie I've got airbags as well so they are different pressures to the tires but I would like to monitor the tires plus the air bag assists
Cheers Dale
