Default TPMS aftermarket (for Android)

I want to buy internal TPMS sensors which work with Android Apps, but I don't want to buy crap.

Does anybody know if there are aftermarket solutions in high quality beside the chinese ones?

The unit you bought requires a receiver that plugs into one of the USB posts. You should consider buying it. It uses sensors 433mhz so you can use yours. I have an APK for it but so will the seller I would think.
I bought this one from my vendor

Actually I bought one too from my seller, but he didn't give me an app and didn't tell me which one I should download from the Play Store and all apps I tried didn't work.
Maybe my USB connection is faulty, I don't know. I don't know how universal those apps should be.

Anyway, the TPMS I bought, has external sensors and I am not sure if it is a good idea to have that extra weight on the wheels and mainly on the vents.
Now that I have read up a bit on these sensors i realized that I want to buy internal sensors for my summer tires and I would use the external ones for the winter tires and maybe I would later change them too, but first I would need to get them work.

Can you upload your app? Maybe I can use it.

Does yours show the right values?

I bought this one, but it doesn't look at all like in the pictures: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001136476685.html

Check your email and/or PM

Yes, actually my vendor sent me the externals too but by mistake. They have since sent the internals and I haven't installed the but there just standard European 433mhz. The values are correct and I just set an alarm for low pressure but the software also give tire temp and battery voltage.

The app worked immediately. I didn't even have to pair the sensors.

Thank you!
