2014 Honda CR-V TOAD Metal Valve Stems

There should be an aftermarket wireless monitor that integrates the Factory built in system ! I'm sure that some engineer is working on a workable system.

It would need to be a Plug And Play module that transmits the Warning Signal to the Motorhome .

I wonder if a Wireless Camera could be used in the meanwhile that shows the Tow Cars Dash on a screen . Naturally there would need to be a power source which doesn't run down the Toads Battery.

Instead of replacing the stems, find a rubber hose that slips on the stem and is big enough to touch the rim. This will keep the stem from moving outward.

2014s are towable. 2015s are not, I believe.

I run external TPS on my rubber valve stems for 10 years with no problems.

I have a 2013 Jeep Wangler it has factory TPMS, I also add the TST system when towing with the MH. Both sytems work great.

At one time, I purchased a set for our 05 Saturn Vue through Fleetfarm. Other Farm suppliers may also have them, or some Racing supply stores like Summit may. Like mentioned earlier, a good tire shop should also be able to help. On our 10 Malibu, I just put the TST sensor right over the factory stem and it is OK like that. Hope this may help.

Yes, the 2014 Honda CR-V AWD is towable 4 down, on page 235 of the operators manual. I guess it boils down to whether the rubber valve stems are integrated into the already existing TPMS of the car or not. As a TOAD, I want to run an external TPMS so I can view it from the coach when towing, I would not be able to do this with the auto's TPMS, so I plan to use the external TST TPMS system which requires metal valve stems.

Tom, I had the TST TPMS on my 2007 Honda CR-V which also had the Honda built-in TPMS for the car itself. The TST system sensors just screwed on the rubber valve stems with no problems.

Now, my TST system didn't work well so I gave it away. It was one of the earlier systems and it made my coach tires lose air. I never spent so much time with my tires as when I had the TST system installed. I now just check my tire pressue before every departure and it has worked well for me so far.

I know the minute I drive down the road that I could pick up a nail but that's the way it is.

Good luck,
MM.

I'm not sure on this but I thought that after a certain model year, ALL automobiles came standard with a TPMS installed. On my vehicles this TPMS has the metal valve stems. Now I do not know how an after market TPMS works in conjunction with one that is already on the vehicle. I know that my Chevrolet HHR came standard with a TPMS and has the metal valve stems.
