Where to Place the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display?

Tire pressure monitoring displays can be placed in the reserved holes on the original vehicle, which does not take up space and is convenient for viewing. Additional tire pressure monitoring displays come in various types, including cigarette lighter-powered, solar-powered, vehicle-specific, and navigation-integrated models. Tire pressure monitoring, also known as TPMS, is used to monitor tire pressure. If a tire's pressure is too low, it will trigger an alarm to alert the driver of insufficient tire pressure, preventing abnormal tire wear due to underinflation. When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure the tire bears and affecting its grip. Additionally, when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces, the tire lacks sufficient space to absorb shocks, which not only impacts driving stability and ride comfort but also increases the impact on the suspension system, leading to potential hazards.

The placement of the tire pressure monitoring display should consider ease of viewing while driving. I prefer placing it on top of the dashboard or in the left corner of the instrument panel, secured with an anti-slip pad to prevent it from falling on bumpy roads. Positioning it near the windshield is also an option, but be careful to avoid glare affecting visibility and ensure it doesn’t obstruct the driving view—safety first. Use Velcro to secure it firmly and keep the wires neatly organized to avoid a messy setup. Some people stick it along the lower edge of the front windshield, but I recommend placing it closer to the driver’s side for a quick glance at tire pressure changes, avoiding the need to look down and get distracted. Avoid placing it in areas with strong sunlight to prevent screen aging and poor visibility. Regularly check if the position is secure to ensure no issues arise even in emergencies, making driving more comfortable and worry-free.

I prefer placing the display on the right or left side of the dashboard, at a height that's neither too high nor too low, just right for a quick glance. I've tried several locations, but the center of the console sometimes blocks the view and isn't ideal. I recommend using 3M adhesive to secure it at the lower left corner of the windshield—it's slip-resistant and durable. For safety, avoid placing it behind the steering wheel or near airbag locations, as it could be dangerous in case of a collision. Make sure to tidy up the wires to prevent tripping or short circuits. Once you've found a stable position, you'll be able to easily check tire pressure both in the morning and at night, eliminating any worries. Adding an anti-glare cover can help reduce reflections. After installation, test to ensure it doesn't interfere with air vents or buttons.

The position must prioritize safety, placing it below the windshield or beside the dashboard without obstructing the front view. The height should be moderate, avoiding the need to look down or reach up to adjust. Secure the installation firmly with adhesive to prevent shaking during sudden braking. Avoid direct sunlight spots to prevent screen glare and unclear visibility. A position closer to the driver's side is preferable for easy access to buttons. During nighttime driving, choose a spot with minimal reflection to maintain focus. Keep the wiring tidy and hidden to prevent exposure.
