Default Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Anyone have?

Was thinking of getting wireless tire pressure monitoring. These just screw onto your valve stems, super easy to do. Anyone have something like this? Reviews are good.

This fits inside Toyota switch blank

this one supposedly fits inside the blank switch area also.

https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOTIRE - This one is wireless and connects to your smartphone

also, if you need a good tire digital gauge for your compressor, this works nice and is only $25

You're driving an S2000 so the assumption is that you want to be involved with your car. So I think there are simpler ways to ensure that your tire pressures are safe for the street. Buy a good gauge and check them monthly (or weekly if you want) and you'll be fine.

For the track, I seriously considered this approach as the S2000 is more sensitive to tire pressures than my previous cars. That said, I decided I didn't need the real time monitoring on the track - instead I took a half day of open test and tune to repeatedly go out and adjust tire pressures to find the sweet spot for my setup (suspension, tires, track and driver skill) measuring the temp when I came off the track. Also, I was hesitant to add another thing to look at while driving - maintaining concentration over a long session is already hard enough for me as an amature weekend HPDE driver.

I like the first one and may even buy it just because. Of course, the display unit will be hidden under the seat or something.

I use this on my motorhome and when we go on long drives I just take no. 1-4 and put them on our S.

I also have a two wheel model that I use on my motorcycles.

I set low tire pressure psi, high temp. warnings and it will let me know if I have a leak before I hurt a tire from high heat. We are off on a 2500 mile drive in a couple of days and this is just one of the things I do before we leave.

edit, I have the 10 wheel model not the 12 wheel(motorhome plus the Jeep I tow behind the m/h)

I use a similar one to the first one. It works great, not 5 seconds but an easy install/uninstall regardless. Nice to have it just for peace of mind even if you'll never have pressure issues. Mine was south of $100 so not a big investment, and movable from car to car.
