ONLY200FREESHIPPING

For those who like Xiaomi products and want to monitor their vehicles tyre pressure from the comfort of their car, 70mai has just launched their TPMS kit that has the sensors external of the tyre.

70mai (a Xiaomi company) have a pre-order special on for the first 200 orders which is 15% off normal price and free international shipping with code ONLY200FREESHIPPING entered at checkout.

Pre-orders will be shipped out on 12/12/19, according to the banner on the site.

The display unit is solar powered and has bluetooth function to talk to an app (for some reason… gotta love that pressure data)

    That's pretty cool. I'd hate it if some scumbag were to steal the gauges off the tyres

    • D-Train on 22/11/2019 - 20:51

      I have had other branded ones on my other cars for a few years now and haven't had any problems with them and they were about triple the price when I got them.

      • Lizard Spock on 22/11/2019 - 20:51

        Have you had to replace the batteries in the sensors yet?

          Surprisingly, no. They seem to last quite awhile and they only power up and transmit when the vehicle is going >20kmph apparently.

            @Aarent: "Copper valve core could handle high temperature"??? Do they mean it might handle high temps but they haven't tested it yet so nobody knows?

            • Aarent on 23/11/2019 - 00:43

              @jimmy c: Sorry, i was a bit lazy, i was mainly responding to Spock abt the battery life, glad they read it previously, all g :)

          • Lizard Spock on 22/11/2019 - 23:51

            @Aarent: Yeah I read the up to 2 Years battery life in the description, hence why I asked the op if they needed to change the batteries on theirs

            • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2019 - 07:52

              @Lizard Spock: What if the battery explodes?

        • edfoo on 23/11/2019 - 08:31

          I bought one system from eBay at the beginning of this year for under AUD $50, using it to monitor my 4WD tyres. It looks almost exactly the same as this one except it does not have app-enabled feature. The batteries that came with it only last about 6 months before they all gone flat, replaced with another set of cheap button batteries from eBay, so far they are still powering in the past 5 months. Maybe next time I will replace with better brand batteries i.e. Maxell.

          • flywire on 23/11/2019 - 15:12

            @edfoo: Use lithium batteries and not NiMH for longevity.

            • edfoo on 25/11/2019 - 10:52

              @flywire: I'm talking about those button batteries in each of the four sensors.
              What NiMH batteries are you talking about?

    Shows the reading in bars only, will have to work out PSI yourself

    • Ozvalue on 22/11/2019 - 22:30
      +5

      So pump it to 32psi and that will let u know exactly wat bar it should be always

    • lomie on 22/11/2019 - 23:01
      +1

      For offroaders who adjust tyre pressures depending on terrain, it might be a deal breaker after dealing with psi for so long.

      Which country uses bars? Tyre placards tend to have psi and kPa.

    • LowRange on 22/11/2019 - 23:14
      +4

      Yes that's a deal breaker.

      I highly recommend paying a bit extra and getting the colour unit from digoptions. I have the internal sensors on 5 wheels and it's been flawless.

      • Numlock on 23/11/2019 - 07:07
        +5

        Can you link it? There are so many on that website.

        • LowRange on 23/11/2019 - 11:51
          +1

          Sure it's this one https://www.digoptions.com.au/tpms-tyre-pressure-monitoring-…

          I've got that unit but with the 5 internal sensors so there's one on the spare and i can do 5 wheel rotations and just have to relearn the positions. Internal sensors give a more accurate reading of the tire temperature, wont get stolen and if you do any 4 wheeling they are a lot less hassle when airing up and down a lot. Plus less chance of getting it snagged up on any sticks and logs.

          External sensors are much simpler to install, replace and change when rotating tires. So internal vs external both have their pro's and cons.

          Lots 4wd folk are running these units, Digoptions have been selling them for several years they are very reliable.

    • ToobsAU on 24/11/2019 - 19:21

      1bar = 100kPa (i.e. 1 hkPa)

  • LukeOz83 on 22/11/2019 - 23:04

    I've seen similar product somewhere. But pretty sure it was much more expensive. And you could change it to psi.

    Edit: found it. $249.

    How's this one different to the cheaper ones available on banggood, etc.?

    • mrdevil on 22/11/2019 - 23:34
      +3

      Other than restricting you to using a measurement unit that no-one uses? I think the banggood one is a much better deal!!

      • DangerNoodle on 23/11/2019 - 07:12
        +5

        Conversion is easy enough though. 1 bar is 14.5psi. Tire pressure recommended in my car is 36psi, so around 2.5bar. all you have to do is do the conversion once to figure out the recommended tire pressure for your car and then make sure it doesn't go too far below that.

    • yupyup on 23/11/2019 - 10:51

      waay better price. other than the banggood product not having an app which i would never use as its better to just look the display once in the car anyway, is there any reason to go for the 70mai version over banggood? i can't think of anything else it does better for the price

        2-3 x more decent? I admit their stuff is good but not 3x better then the others. If they can self inflate tyres, then I would support them for this price point.

  • Herbse on 22/11/2019 - 23:50

      • edfoo on 23/11/2019 - 08:26

        Downside is you can become over obsessed about your tyre pressure when you have a TPMS.

    • lomie on 23/11/2019 - 10:36

      I have TPMS on all my current vehicles. Has paid for itself after detecting a puncture which could have ruined the rim.

    • wfdTamar on 23/11/2019 - 10:48

      Have it on a motorhome I was driving around the Alps in France. Drive too vigorously and the temp warning goes. Very useful I reckon.

    I got one of these from eBay just a few days ago.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TPMS-External-4-Sensor-Solar-Wir…

    It seems to be working fine, can between bar/psi and c/f temperature.

    Xiaomi are great but at double the price for pretty much the same thing (plus app readout) isn't worth it to me.

    • akyeeeahdude on 25/11/2019 - 18:28

      Once attached, how do you inflate your tyres? Is it still as simple as just removing top cal and then inflating?

      • unco on 25/11/2019 - 19:14

        Yep, just like a regular non-smart cap.

  • cloudy on 23/11/2019 - 08:58

    Why do people need this? Isn’t just pumping tyres once a month or thereabouts enough?

    • systmworks on 23/11/2019 - 09:14

      Yes. If you schedule punctures for the day before you inflate ?

    • flywire on 23/11/2019 - 15:17

      Not everyone drives on city roads. Hell, sometimes the roads aren't even sealed and people drive over rocks and sticks and things.

      • cloudy on 23/11/2019 - 21:34

        is that the reason why we need this? if I don't drive on roads I need to know my tyre psi?

        • OzBragain on 24/11/2019 - 07:27

          You don't need TPMS cloudy

    • edfoo on 25/11/2019 - 10:54

      I use TPMS in my 4WD, more so when off-road. Other city cars in the family don't need one.

      Can’t comment on these ones, but most of the others I have seen have a locking nut but are still easy to remove. It might be worth looking at internal sensors or at least fitting low profile valve stems though if you drive technical stuff or like mudding.

    I read few reviews mentioning that most of these TPMS devices gets jammed and locked to the pressure value after few months and then it requires the headache and expenses of getting the whole valves replaced. What does other think about it, especially those who have actually used it. Appreciate if you can mention the brand you used as well.

    • lomie on 24/11/2019 - 01:09

      I have tyredogs and no issues .

    • edfoo on 25/11/2019 - 10:55

      These sensors are just screwed in, if more so the issue is them becoming loose instead of got too tight.

  • laser on 25/11/2019 - 08:04
    +1

    I find it odd that we use psi which is imperial in a country which has adopted metric. At least a BAR is 100 Kilo Pascals which is metric.

    • systmworks on 25/11/2019 - 09:59

      True. We quote alloy wheel sizes in inches too. Maybe it's a tyre thing.

  • thriftyozzie on 03/12/2019 - 12:53

    Cancelled the order after realising that there is no conversion to PSI. They refunded after a week and did not return shipping charges even though they haven't shipped it! Will contact Paypal and see what they say.

    Edit: They sent a separate refund of 7USD after a few minutes.
