Using 4 FOBO TPMS senders to monitor the tires + ACS too!

[Briorick]

I have a question. I'm sure it's been asked before, so please bear with me.
I'm interested in getting the Spyder TPMS FOBO, but do I have to change out my stems, or are the stems I have
okay? I went to Lamonster's site but there was no mention of this. So I just need some clarification. Thanks in advance.

(EDIT: I did some more Forum digging and found my answer, and ordered a Set from Lamonster)

Just to make sure everyone knows...

There is absofreakinlutely NO NEED to change your valve stems to run FOBO TPMS. The OEM stems will do fine.

Just remember to select "Reverse Trike" in the software when you do your install. Once you have your Lamonster FOBO 2s disregard the extra valve stems in the kit, you won't need them. It's just a matter of pulling the battery contact tabs and screwing the caps on your current valve stems. Once that is done you can put your phone right next to each cap until the software recognizes each one. From that point forward just open the app to see your current tire pressure. You should be able to get an accurate reading on your phone from anywhere in your house.

Thank you. These little "heads up tips" are definitely appreciated, making for an easier, and a successful, install.

I had a really hard time pairing the Fobo to the rear tire. Couldn't figure a way to get the phone close enough to the stem to make the connection. What I had to so was to mount the rear Fobo to one of the front wheels and faked the software to think it was the rear wheel. When finally connected, I simply removed the Fobo from the front tire to the rear. Posting here to hopefully make this task easy for others.

I've been using Fobo on other bikes for about 5 years without any issues. I love the product as it makes the tire pressure check at beginning of each ride a breeze and my back is also very thankful. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Nice info to know just in case I have an issue with pairing the rear. Thank you!

You can actually just individually hold the caps to your phone while the software recognizes them, just make sure you put the each cap to the tire you've assigned it to.

Rec'd them yesterday. Just finished installing. Works like a charm! That has to be the EASIEST and QUICKEST upgrade/add-on of them all. Took all but 5 minutes tops. Thanks to everyone for the tips, as well.

Interesting. I thought I tried that and it didn't work for me, so I thought that they actually had to be on a tire that has "some" pressure to read in order to pair them to the app. Thanks for the suggestion.

There has to be a good distance between the sensors when you configure them so it does not get signals from multiple units.

Did all of mine within a few feet of each other.
