Hi,
My car listed above dash only shows indicator when tire pressure is low, but I will install android head unit that supports TPMS pressure gauge reading.
My first question is there a method to keep original TPMS sensor and make them read gauge in new android head unit, or should buy new sensors.
My second question can I install new external sensor for android and at same time keeping old original sensors in My second question is can I install a new external sensor for Android and at the same time keep the old original sensors in position?

Hi,

The TPMS in each wheel does nothing but emit an RF signal which a receiver uses to determine the information.

I'm not familiar with what you are adding, but I suspect you should be able to input a radio frequency into the product from each sensor, so it is recognized.

Let me know your thoughts and if possible, take a few pics of what you are installing and upload them for me to see.

Take care,

Joe
