Default Aftermarket TPMS

I've gotten really used to having TPMS in recent Mopar vehicles that display live pressure for each tire. I've even added an aftermarket unit to one vehicle that didn't have an existing system. The system I used was by Orange Electronics model P409S, it worked quite well. I feel a little like I'm driving partially blind now with no such system on board in the STR and would like to add one. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Orange system again except that the power adapter sticks out of the side of the unit maybe 5/8" to 3/4" or so. Makes for a less than discrete looking installation. I could install it in the glove box or console but the whole point is I like to be able to glance at it frequently to see where the pressures are. Any of you folks have an aftermarket TPMS system in place that you could recommend?

Welcome to "S-Type Land". I've yet to come across a member here who has such a system. Perhaps some of us would enjoy to monitor our pressure. I do enough of this in the office each day. Otherwise welcome to our/your forum.

I've never seen it mentioned, it will be interesting to see if anyone has fitted one.

I'm a little old fashioned, I just use this....

Me too. The fewer costly on-board electronics to break, the happier I am....

Whoa! Norrie, you use a rectal thermometer to check ya pressure? Ya can blow mercury all over the place bro. Oh...wait, let me clean my glasses...hmmm...that looks more like a tire pressure gauge. Sorry.
