I am currently targetted to be a beta tester on a new tire pressure monitoring systems that is a redesign of an existing system used on over the road rigs (advantagepressurepro.com). The transmitters simply replace the caps on your valve stems and the system is designed to monitor upto 6 axles (12 tires). The new system has been minaturized significantly from the original design and is aimed at passenger cars, RVs and TTs. The cost is anticipated to be below $300.

I have had a concern about blowouts on our '02 Bambi from day one, but after investigating the systems available, I concluded they had issues and the cost seemed a bit high, although it was really the reliability issue that bothered me.

My last contact with Pressure Pro a month or so ago indicated that they anticipated beta testing to begin in August, and production/ general availability in the Fall timeframe. Once I have the okay from Pressure Pro to discuss the units in more detail I will post my observations.
