Minder Research TPMS-TRL-4 TireMinder Solar-Powered Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Kit - 4 Tires

Teresa B: We have had an Aframe travel trailer for a number of years, and meet up with fellow Aframe owners once or twice a year to trade repair / maintenance stories. This year lots of stories about tire - blowouts - keeping the tire age below 4-6 years, ... I was not aware of these stem mounted TPMS sensors (vs built into the stem). I have a 1 axle trailer - but purchased the four sensor pack as I plan on putting one on the spare tire. (and the day I bought it it was cheaper than the 1 axle system)

An interesting operational note - with two sensors not connected - the unit alarms (not too loud) every 20 minutes, which In my was of thinking is great!. When it alarms the display brightens and is MUCH easier to read - it reminds me to check the gauge on a regular basis.

Very happy with it. I did not mount it on the window since I will us it only when hauling the trailer, I just made a loop blue painters tape so that it does not slide around. I also will charge the unit before my trips via the USB port.

DougS: I had a tire just pop no loss of air or anything so no way the tireminder can prevent that, but immediately after the tire blew it sounded an alarm like it is supposed to giving me full trust it can prevent a bad situation due to low air or high temp.

Andrew: I tried to use this on my 2008 Honda Civic instead of the factory TPMS sensors. I mean, why not? At this price, it is cheaper than new TPMS inside the tires, and it gives more data than the factory system. Win-win, right?

Wrong. The screen constantly flashed the warning lights like something was wrong. It would regularly beep while driving or just getting into the car. It made me feel like something was always wrong. The instructions even say that it will stop flashing after you set the pressure limits/thresholds per tire. IT DIDN'T. It just kept acting like something was wrong, even though my tires were all in the 30 to 35 PSI range, and the settings were all at 25, then later at 20 when i was trying to fix it.

Eventually, i started pressing different button patterns, hoping something would fix it. Well, it ended up deleting three of the sensors and changing the screen to just -- (dashes) for those three tires...and i couldn't get them back.

So, i'm disappointed and returning it. I'm going to buy it again, and hope that it fixes the problem. If not, another review will be made like this one, with pictures and videos.

For now, i cannot recommend for use...

Amazon Customer: I was more than 20km away from my trailer and it was still showing the same results. I highly doubt the range is that good. I restarted my gauge to reset it and it still shows the same reading. Please advise if you are the company that makes them, and have an explanation.

Capitol Dental: This product was just as advertised. It is super easy to install and easy to monitor. It even helped me to adjust the load on the trailer to get even weight distribution. Their customer service is top notch! When installing my brand new monitor I was a complete idiot and wrecked it before I could ever use it. I reached out and shared what I did and they sent me a replacement part with prepaid packaging to return the part I wrecked. I am very impressed!! I will definitely buy their products for my next trailer.

Pete Marshall: Much longer, unboosted range than stated. Easy to read and super easy to install. Light weight valve stem caps allow rubber valve stem use. Very happy with the purchase.

James: This worked pretty flawless, had dead battery in one sensor after a week but it came with replacements. All in all the solar keeps the display receiver charged and the booster you get with it is the reason it just works. Don’t waste money on cheaper none booster models. PAY the extra and save the time, you will save money if you just buy this one once.

anne: Flaky system to mount using glue strips that melt on the windshield and then the unit simply falls. Within 2 weeks of getting the unit ours suffered a severe scratch on the solar panel from a dive and strike on the seat frame at the floor. So far I can’t find another way to use it. Try to take it down in between uses and the gooey Velcro strips just peel off the w/s, just like it falling all the time. Goo is now smeared around the w/s. I live in central Cali where usual temps run about 95-100 for 4-5 months and this thing is now useless rolling around on the dash (unless you see the thrill of trying to catch a fall while driving). Tried a variety of cell phone pads/methods but then the units screen, angled downward, and can’t rotate up enough to see it. When it’s up high enough on the w/s to see the screen per its design, it’s either behind the mirror on the shaded part of the w/s, or behind the w/s visors when they’re in use. ??? I called Minder Co. The lady I spoke with just gave me a kind of short answer that maybe I could find a cell phone mount for it? They got nothin'. What it needs is a w/s suction cup unit that has with a matching frame for it to fit into, along...

Tony M: Was a bit hesitant to order because stated that it was for smaller trailer, but this worked amazingly well on my 30’ trailer. Soon as I installed sensor on one tire at a time receiver in truck almost immediately registered trailer tire pressure & temperature. Worked good even without booster. I permanently mounted booster under trailer between axles & trailer front for best signal from tires. Mounted receiver just to left of my rearview mirror, where solar charger can absorb sun.
