Fobo Tire Plus Pressure Sensor, Silver

Last night I was out driving when the alarm for "Pressure too low" on my front passenger tire came on. The other 3 tires were at 36PSI, this one was at 31PSI. I immediately pulled into the next gas station a drove by to put some air and I immediately saw the head of a screw in my tire. I have a 2012 Toyota Venza and the car's TPMS never came on. Having Fobo Tire installed allowed me to find out about the problem right away. So I was able to get home, install the spare tire, and will be taking the damaged tire for repair this morning.I've had Fobo Tire installed for 6 months now and I have not had any issues with the device. They recently upgraded the app so you can monitor additional sensors. So now I have one on my spare tire (so the spare was ready to go when needed), and I have them on my small 4x6 trailer. After last night's early warning I purchased an additional Fobo Tire for my wife's car and will be getting an additional sensor for her spare tire (can be purchased directly from Fobo - FoboXtra). And because you can monitor a number of vehicles with your app, I will be able to add her sensors to my phone. I will update this review once I have the additional FoboTire installed.UPDATE: Yesterday I received the Fobo Tire Plus purchased through the Amazon Marketplace. Immediately installed it on the Mazda CX-7. The Plus is not needed for the CX-7. But the price was right, so I went ahead with it. One of the features I really like is that Fobo allows you to share up to 20 vehicles in one application. So on my phone I can see both mine and my wife's car tire pressure. I have uploaded some additional screen shots. Knowing the tire pressure of all our tires has never been easier. This takes away the "guessing game" trying to find out which tire is low.Next I will be getting the T-Valves for my car to test out. In theory, with the T-Valves I should be able to pump air into the tires without having to remove the Fobo sensor. With the phone on my hand I will be able to see the tire pressure as I am filling it. Will update once I get them and I find out how they work in combination with Fobo.

What a great gadget! The FOBO Tire Plus tire pressure monitor has proven to be a wonderful asset to my carefree driving. It works like a charm and gives me peace of mind. I now know that my tires are all properly inflated. It's silly but it's true.Installing the device was quick and easy. I started by downloading the FOBO Tire Plus User Manual from the FOBO web site and reading it (How could doing this hurt me?) They also have a Frequently Asked Questions document that is worth reading.Next, I downloaded the FoboTire app, entered my email address and activated my account by replying to the email they sent me. This process is completely covered in the User Guide, it is necessary, and is spelled out in detail. This app is central to the setup process. It prompts you through every step of your install.I then went onto YouTube and watched two videos: "FOBO Tire - Video Tutorial for Apple iOS 7.1 and above" and "FOBO Tire - Install Lock Nut." There is also a video for the Android 4.3 and above.At this point I was ready to install the devices. The actual install probably took me all of 10 minutes. Much less time than my studying, downloading the app, and reviewing the videos. I should also mention that I had previously checked my tire's pressure. After all, it would be irritating to find out, after installing the sensors, that I needed to remove them and adjust the pressures.I started the installation by removing the valve caps and wiping off the valve stem threads. I then screwed the FOBO lock nuts all the way down to the base of the threads. PREP IS EVERYTHING.Now I opened my smart phone, started the FoboTire app, pressed the + button, and followed the prompts. Note that you don't have to take a picture of your car during the install. The picture taking can be done later. All my Bluetooth pairings went quickly and the process was over in a jiffy. The app was suddenly displaying all my tire pressures and temperature values along with indicating the charge level of each sensor's battery. Just absolutely lovely. I then went to each sensor and tightened the lock nuts: Security and job done.

Batteries on the sensors die super fast for some reason. Haven't taken them down for about 2 weeks and two batteries dropped 50% charge and are almost dead.

Used item shipped, tried to install it, the app informed that it could not be installed as it was registered to another account. I had purchased one a couple of years ago directly from Fobo Tire and had no issues. I suspected it was a used device as the tabs for the batteries were not in place as they were with the one I previously purchased. Now it is too late to return the item.Fobo Tire Plus Pressure Sensor, Silver

Works great... Love it!

Works very well

Once all four were installed, we were unable to acquire the signal while inside the vehicle towing our trailer. When we got out of the vehicle the tires could be read via the app on the smart phones. What good is tire monitors if you can't monitor from inside the truck? Very poor reception.

efficient and reliable
