Though on the new systems the sensor is cool as it can give you exact tire PSI for all 4 corners on screen or display, as well as tire heat when on the track. So the sensors aren't all bad..... Just not that useful on our model of car as it can't use all that fancy tech
And we can't update ours to the readout is my guess.
