hahahaha, thats one of the most useless things ive ever seen.
are people so lazy now that they cant manually check tire pressure. It takes 2 secs each tire.

This can be a really good tool if you're into auto-x. There's a lot you can learn about car setup from tire temp.

So you can dick with the A-pillar and not worry about setting off the curtain airbag? I mean, I assumed it was probably safe, but probably isn't enough to get me messing around with my baby.

Those are so cool. I want some. BTW, is the recommended PSI number for a cold tire or a tire that's been warmed up a few minutes?

True, but at the autox you should always check your tire pressure. best if every 2-3 runs. I love my digital tire gague.

What's wrong with opening the A-pill cover? It's just a cosmetic trim piece covering the curtain. It's meant to be blown out when the curtain bag deploys.

The system probably only gives you the tire temp inside the tire. What you're talking about the tire temp for setup is the temp on the surface of the tire, and usually you want to know the temp of the inner shoulder, middle, and outer shoulder.

I'd rather use my tire pressure gage and temp gun.
