How accurate is a TPMS compared to a gauge?
Flatmate sensors are highly precise, generally within ±1.5 PSI of professional mechanic gauges.
Why does my gauge show a different number?
Stick gauges can be easily misread or worn out. Flatmate provides a digital, real-time metric that is consistently reliable.
Does the system update instantly?
Yes, Flatmate sensors ping the head unit constantly, and instantly transmit a high-priority alert if sudden pressure loss occurs.
Do the sensors leak over time?
When properly installed with the internal O-ring seated, Flatmate sensors maintain a perfect seal and will not cause your tyres to deflate.
Can my phone interfere with the signal?
No, Flatmate uses a dedicated 433.92MHz radio frequency that won't cross wires with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular signals.
Can you drive at highway speeds with Flatmate sensors?
Absolutely! Flatmate sensors are built tough for high-speed highway driving, so you can cruise without worrying about signal loss or durability.
Is it normal for pressure to fluctuate?
Yes, pressure changes with ambient temperature and driving friction. Flatmate helps you learn what is "normal" for your specific vehicle.
Do I need to reset it after pumping my tyres?
No, Flatmate automatically registers the new pressure as soon as you screw the sensor back onto the valve.
What is the maximum PSI they can read?
Flatmate kits are designed to handle high pressures, making them suitable for heavy-duty 4WDs, light trucks, and heavy caravans.
