Companion app works exclusively with Rand McNally’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). TPMS hardware includes a Bluetooth-enabled wireless receiver that keeps track of pressure and temperature reported by 4 tire sensors. This app lets you connect the wireless receiver, configure the sensors, set thresholds and receive alerts and notifications. So whether you have low pressure in a tire or a fast leak, TPMS instantly brings it to your attention. The app also helps you re-configure when you physically swap the tire sensors between two separate tires. And if you lose a tire sensor, the application makes installing a new sensor (available at store.randmcnally.com) a seamless process.

About

TPMS Plus

Features
Read full description

“TMPS Plus” is a car tire pressure detection system application software designed for smartphones. It is suitable for smartphones with Bluetooth 4.0 version. It cooperates with the Bluetooth sensor installed on the car to receive the pressure, temperature, and air leakage of the four tires. The tire pressure and temperature data are monitored in real time when the car is driving. When the data is abnormal, the "smart tire pressure" can be alerted in time to ensure driving safety. 【Precautions】 1. Please make sure that Bluetooth is turned on normally so that "Smart Tire Pressure" can be used normally. 2. The background voice will continue to monitor sudden tire conditions in the background. When switching to the background broadcast, it will consume more power than other operations.
