Buy one of these instead:

Check it yourself every week.

....I've already got one but find it fiddly to use. In fact, I'm now thinking I might sell it.

As I say I'm curious about the technology used in this device. The biggest turn off for me is not knowing the resolution and the fact that it won't look OEM in the car (says the dude with gauges and stuff).

....I don't care two figs about whether it looks oem or not - If it displays useful info then as long as it doesn't look ridiculous then it's fine for me. Do they make them in pink?
As I posted earlier I'll try and find out the resolution but don't hold your breath!

The fact I can get into my car on a rainy/freezing cold morning and immediately know that the tyres are okay without turning my fingers black by unscrewing the dust covers every week is a bonus.
For trackdays it will be great to know when you can start to push the tyres a little more when they have warmed up without guessing and pushing it too far too soon.
What this little piece of kit will also do is tell you via the dispay when your tyres are ready to do too, as well as show you which one/s may have deflated.

....I feel the same as you about it. But it's clearly not everyone's cup of tea.

you can mount the diplay any where ie the glove box if you don,t like it on display-if i didn't work in a garagei would of bought one,like hurdy says saves messing bout a service station and most time the gauges are not accurate

/just kidding around in all honesty, I understand the usefulness of such a device and I don't like scrabbling around in the dark trying to measure pressures.
