TPMS Reader

Using my Scangauge II I have TP and Transmission Temp available in addition to many other things.

Trans temp

This is where my trust for this stuff evaporates, there isn't any real clarity of what is supported, what PIDs you can depend on accessing, etc. TPMS data and Transmission Oil Temp (for instance) isn't even listed as a supported PID on OBS Softwares list. Yet it's in the software. How many dongles does one have to buy before they get lucky, if ever, know what I mean? This software can allegedly tell you how many old snickers wrappers your kid stuffed behind the rear seat but can't give you what in my opinion is basic data unless you have the magic dongle? It would be nice if there was a short list of fully supported dongles for our vehicles so we didn't have to spend $100+ to learn the hard way. Sounds like the Kiwi 3 might be one of them, OBDLink MX(+) might be another but now I'm just ready to give-up on this crap altogether.

By the way, I'm using iOS which apparently adds another crippling layer of complexity and potential lack of compatibility into the equation.

If you don't mind me asking, are you going to persue this further and what dongle do you plan to go with?

Cheers

Did you ever figure out how to get this going on iPhone with transmission temperatures? I have way to much time invested into this already lol

LOL How much time is that? :D

I picked up an OBD MX+ shortly after my last post here. It is working on an OBD MX+ (I did buy the enhanced PID package for my truck) on iPhone XS (latest iOS).

I too have had a few adapters (carista and a couple generics) This has been the "most" stable of the bunch. It still hickup disconnects BUT has some features to mitigate the annoyance in the app, like auto-reconnect, remember last network, ect.

To reiterate you can only connect to one network at a time with this adapter. Meaning if you want Trans Oil Temp and TPMS it won't work they are on different networks. It would work if they were on the same network but they aren't. Network A is were most of your trucks info is (there are like of 400 PID's there). The TPMS network has some redundant PID's that are useful to that system but is pretty limited by comparison.

Example: the ambient temp out is 74F right now and the truck is off.

Trade in for a 2020 or later. I can't believe it took Toyota this long to get this going.

lol seriously trade-in to get TPMS on your dash? you do realize that that statement on its own sounds pretty preposterous to most people? :biggrin2:

Personally, I kinda like my '13, it doesn't look as much like the other 1.4 million units driving the US :) I really dig those '06-14 FJ's too BTW ;):

It’s the Americana way bro. Continue to extend debt endlessly and/or exacerbate the demanded perpetual growth our capitalistic society requires. Welcome to late stage capitalism
 
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

To be clear: I'm looking for a device that will constantly report tire pressure to a device, preferably something like this but using the factory TPMS.

Amazon.com: U912 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Customized for Toyota Honda Mazda Nissan Real Time Monitoring Pressure Temperature (W/4pcs Internal Sensor/Battery Replaceable, for Honda) : Automotive

Check this one out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfsqZlLqEbK/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=
 
Interesting. That is exactly what I want. Any one have any experience with it?


I've bought some parts from them before for my GS and had no issues. I've seen a couple posts on FB about the TPMS that some 5th gen owners have ordered. All the other post that I have seen were for other Lexus vehicles and they seem to have no issues either.

supposedly there are some on aliexpress for cheaper but may not be the right freq for the 4rns. 315mhz
