  2. A new - better Direct TPMS system

    Some time ago I posted about fitting a Direct TPMS system The system worked VERY well, but the only complaint I had was that the screen was not that bright. The screen used a VFD type display ( which was not very bright at all) Recently I can across the same looking TPMS system, but this...
  3. OBD2 modules - Issues ??

    I seem to have an issue with my Wifi OBD2 device, that I was planning to leave plugged in all the time, to supply Torque info when driving. I think the OBD2 wifi module is "shutting down" when the car is off, and when I start the car, it does not come back to life, unless I first Unplug...

  14. Why such high ex-Dealer Tire Pressures

    I have often wondered why so many new car buyers report that their new car, just off the Dealer's lot, have such high, over-inflated tire pressures. Well, the #1 OBVIOUS reason is that some Dealers are just too lazy, or incompetent, to set the correct pressures when the car is sold...

    My 2018 SI did not have the code in the glove compartment either, although the manual indicated it should be there. Unless the Dealer has a record of the Radio serial number or it's password (doubtfull), they might need to remove the radio to get to the serial number printed on the unit ...

  19. Flashing-Strobe Center Brake Lights

    The RED LED light is "brighter "through a RED filer is not 100% Accurate. The Red Filter still lets some other colors through, 100% RED is quite "bright" But 100% RED + say 20% GREEN + 20% BLUE is even brighter. SO, yes, a white LED may well LOOK "BRIGHTER" than a pure RED Led...
