Emitting Antenna Design

Special built-in, concealed design optimizes signal strength and passes tough OEM vibration tests. There is no need to install any reception antennas.

Additional installation of a reception antenna controller box at the edge of the fenders to receive the signal.
Special tool may be needed for programming when installed or tires are rotated.
Installation time is longer adding to costs.

Antenna design can actually strengthen the RF signal frequency.
Built in design can pass all vibration tests.
No special tools needed for programming.
Additional antennas are unnecessary.
Eases installation process.

Battery

Uses the same battery supplier as BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz.
This supplier assisted with power supply design.
The battery’s working temperature is –40 to 125C (-40 to 257F) and passes the strictest tests.
Has up to 8 years life expectancy.

Use of a normal battery cannot meet the high/low temperatures and the battery cannot maintain as long of life.
Because of poor power management a vibration switch is needed to start monitor.

Premium battery and power management insures reliability and long life.

Sensor

Foreign Freescale (Motorola) Semiconductor Company provides sensors and helped in development.

Self designed, no RF technical support.
Basic solution.

Tested and certified for a longer period, thus quality and brand are better accepted.

Valve Design

Easy to install without special tools.
Special screw design can bear heat up to 200C.
OE design that eases service.
Patented Design, special washer with strengthened design to avoid breakage during installation.
Replaceable parts.
