Which is the preferred model & why - Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 or 4.0 TPMS?

Still looking at fitting at some TMPS for the F3.

I see there are 5.0 and 4.0 available locally.

Pretty much the same price.

Thinking it may not make much difference at the end of the day, but curious.

Whats the preferred one and why is that? :dontknow:

Bluetooth 5 is faster, has greater range, can handle crowded frequencies on which it works better than 4, and consumes less power. However the way in which TPMS works with data and the devices that will transmit or receive it, won't benefit much from any of the new features of 5. Licensing I expect will see the BT5 products dearer I. Buy the BT4 TPMS and spend the balance on fuel

$5.98 - across the ditch here at New Zealands 3rd Island (aka Australia), its around 2L of fuel. Great to be able to help

Yup.

When it was Gallons I remember 28c / gallon.
But then I was earning $40 ( newish apprenticeship wage ) a week I guess.

Sigh.
