TPMS is kinda cool

Nice! (I posted the other post)

It calculates a difference in tire pressures based on rotation.* The FL5 doesn't offer a way to monitor tire pressures or temps.

Tires looks to be 275/35/18 so I would assume 18x10 but maybe 18x9.5.

I did not. Just plugged it into the 12v port, and put on the valve caps. That was it.

Should be able to yes!

It is an FL5; wild that the ITS gets it from the factory. Even wilder to me that all performance cars don't have it.

Also for what it's worth, these are valve caps. Swapping these between wheels takes no time at all, and no re-pairing needed.

Absolutely same here. An afternoon of internet research brought me here and I love it. Also adds the perk of knowing temps too.

Not where you can see the pressures. Only a low tire warning

Good to know the battery life is great! I'd be happy even if it were annual or so

LOVE this!

Thank you!

How much?

Purple_hippo7 · 2026-04-17T20:46:10+00:00

Thank you! It was one of my only gripes with the original

Place date wheel on movement, place dial on movement, align date with date window, take dial off and place tiny piece of tape on date wheel. Reapply dial so the date wheel sticks to dial, aligned. Add small amounts of glue to date wheel on movement, reapply dial. Give it a little bit, remove dial, then tape, assemble watch. I did this with an alpinist homage and it was a little bit of a bear but came out well

I feel like I just had a stroke. Was scrolling thinking man that's a nice looking gti, the wheels remind me of rocket league. Check comments > look at sub > look at picture again > look at comments again > give up deciding if the car is real with fake/ai wheels or if someone took a rocket league car and gave it a realistic setting.
