Tire Monitor System with Factory car sensor?

Bought a new toad. It has its own Tire Monitoring system installed. Is there a Tire Monitor system for the RV that will work with the original monioring system that came with the car? Its a Chevy Equinox.

    I guess I wasn't too clear. But: yes, thats exactly what I'm wondering. I don't have a TPMS on my MH now but I thought that if one was available that would utilize the existing tire sensors it might be a nice addition.

  • I've used the TST TMPS for the past several years. My HHR had OEM sensors and they didn't interfere with the coach TMPS. I now have a new Equinox which I've towed from one side of the country to the other. Same thing, no issues. They operate independently of each other. I have the 507 system but previously had the 510. Either work well....Dennis
  • Each car maker uses their own TPMS system with variations even among models. Not all of them use transmitting sensors. There are no RV TPMS monitors that will work with any of the OEM sensors. You can however, use aftermarket TPMS sensors on your toad and RV with no interference with or from the OEM system.
