Wireless air bag controls - reliable?

I'm considering getting wireless controls for my onboard air for my air suspension and overloads just to help unclutter my dash.
My only question is: how reliable are they? Are they one of those things that are great when they work but tend to **** out? I've read a lot of reviews that say that, but in these days where people get paid to write reviews for things they've never seen, I only trust people that actually have and use the stuff.

I have the Air Lift 72000 Wireless Air on my truck. First year the "manifold" that regulates pressure to the bags died but was replaced painlessly under warranty. Two years later I thought it died again, but this time it was the on board compressor. Replaced that and still going strong. One reason I like it is I prefer to inflate the bags until the springs just lift off the overloads, then let air out until the overloads are just engaged. That way you're making the most of both steel and air in your suspension. Easy to do while standing at the wheel, not so much when you've got to keep going back to the cab to change pressure. Of course, if you have someone that can sit in the cab while you stand at the wheel and give instructions...

I had wireless air on my 2011. Loved it. I took it off when I sold the truck. It is in my garage some where.

You will love it.
