TPMS that integrates with Ram system?

[jorn]

I swear I saw this suggested somewhere, but I can't find the post. Heck, maybe I just dreamt it, but thought I'd ask. 😉

Is there a TMPS for my trailer tires that integrates with my 2016 Ram's onboard system?

Technically the answer would be no you cannot integrate the RV TPMS into the Ram onboard computers etc...

However with a lot of customization the uConnect 8.4 display could be "hacked" to display what ever you want including the readout from an aftermarket TPMS system. Essentially you would have to rewrite the system firmware with an aftermarket or modified version to allow the use of additional inputs. There is a software solution readily available I believe it's called uConnect Lockpick. With the new firmware you would then be able to tie in the aftermarket TPMS readout into a display on the Ram screen.

This wouldn't be a novice DIY job that could be done in a few hours. I know I could get it done but the return/reward for getting it to work would not be worth the time spent in my opinion.

Hope that doesn't let you down too bad! I would just stick to a solid aftermarket system with its own display or alarm that chimes if there is an issue.

Let me cut to the chase. The answer to your question is NO.

I'm fairly sure they would be ignored. Mine has the display that shows pressures for individual tires. The system determines tire sensor location by signal strength (and perhaps direction).. so when you rotate tires it adjusts automatically showing the correct tire pressures for each tire.

A set of sensors on your trailer aren't likely to be noticed at all.

I believe your are correct. That said I'm sure the distance from TT to TV will be too great of a distance for the sensor to be read.

Hmmm, yeah, but I wonder what it would do with four more wheels showing up.
