Tire pressure

I'm notorious for not monitoring my tire pressure so at the last tire change(my third in 16 months) I added a monitor. It is attached by Velcro to an area I can see thru the steering wheel

yes, details - pls. I loved having tpms on my 350Z and on my Jeep. The BMW didn't have it (only notified when completely flat IF you kept the crap stock tires that had the sensor). I love being able to see the PSI in real time.

Orange Electronic P409S Retrofit Tire Pressure Monitoring System : Amazon.com : Automotive

I have one on my '06, and it's worked great for 2 years. I now have a dead wheel sensor, and have to see if it's covered under warranty. They're supposed to have a battery life of 7 years.
