Built in tire pressure monitors. Came with the Ridgeline. Wife's car was the one that needed them checked often. Can't recall how many times I have come home and noticed a tire on her car that was low. Now the sequoia that she has has the TPMS built in. They are sensitive enough.
Me too...though I CAN read the #'s, the voice is nice when the display is not easily visible.
I split the diff on the angled stems. An angled one on the front I found to be a royal PITA so I went back to a straight one. On the rear I prefer it facing left. I'm right-handed but for some goofy reason I have an easier time using some things, like a tire pressure gage, left handed.Is it a female voice? That would be nice on those long trips.
But really, I kind of hate to depend on a battery operated thing when a good non-battery-dependent substitution can be had. I'll also stand against the (probably) majority who are so in favor of 90o stems. I don't find it any easier at all to get a gauge or an air hose on them than on a short straight one. With the gauge, I think the easiest way to do it is to use one with a right-angle fitting on the end. That way I only have to slide my fingers under the brake rotor to press the chuck straight down onto the stem. and not try to get my whole hand under there. And most of the battery units at least look like they'd be very hard for me to get my hands into position either to get a clear fit on the stem or to read the result. I like this kind.
Naw, it's a male voice, alas, I wish I could choose a British female one! I use one of these dial gauges in my track bike kit. I like the pressure release button feature since when I start with the cold setting and put my warmers on, inevitably I have to lower the pressure to my preferred hot setting before going out on track. As for the battery operated ones, I have the Roadgear one and a cheapy, both have been working for years on the original batteries.Is it a female voice? That would be nice on those long trips.
