TPMS Gauges - do they exist?
I've been googling some TPMS gauge systems, because I want to be able to take the info from our TPMS system and add some gauges to the dash for it.
All the systems I find are little sensors that go on the stems of the tire. Not really an add on gauge system for cars that already have TPMS like the Yaris. Does anyone know of a way to just tap the TPMS wires behind the glovebox and add some gauges? I'm bored and tired and haven't thought much about this - so this question is probably silly, but who cares. I think it's a good idea.

Yea, I know that some cars already have gauge systems like that, but I want one for my car lol. I like to keep tabs on my tire pressure, and the stupid manual gauge every week isn't doing it for me anymore. I am a man of technology damn it! haha

you'll probably spend more time fighting with the OE one than purchasing an aftermarket one and disabling the TPMS system installed on your car

This probably sounds stupid, but could the Scanguage 2 not read and supply this info as a display.

How can I tell if my tint has metal in it? I just asked for limo in the back, and one step lighter than limo in the front at a stereo/tint shop. (not trying to jack your thread sodium, sorry) I checked the scangauge site, and it doesn't say anything about displaying tire pressure. |

You could probably call the shop that did the work and ask them. I think the TMPS data goes to a separate computer, so the Scanguage might not have access to the data. I can't tell from the manuals that I have. Maybe somebody else here knows. |

@Sodium: Or you could go the completely custom route:
