What do we need to buy for the TPMS that comes on the GD

[caswelld]

Our Imagine 2670MK should arrive at the dealer next month (Cookeville RV). I saw that it is prewired with a box for a tire pressure monitoring system. What do we need to purchase to be able to monitor tire pressures & temps in the tow vehicle? Our salesman didn't have a lot of information about the system.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Happy camping

Nothing. In the black bag that the manuals came in, was a box with everything that is needed. Just download the One Control app from your phone's app store.

Mine was only pre-wired for the Lippert dock, it did not include anything else. I purchased this kit...

The bummer is while there are wires to the installed dock, there is no power. Someone at the factory was slacking that day.

Unfortunately there isn’t a kit to set up the Imagines

This was imo a worthless marketing tool without any thought behind it

The only kit to buy is one that comes with the dock which we already have

Imo There are much better systems to buy and some that are less money

I have the tire Traker system which has a dedicated monitor which I wanted (don’t need more phone apps) and it is cheaper with a better warranty

NICE!!!! Wish ours had this feature, then I wouldn't have had to spend BIG money to get the dealer ones that integrate to the truck. Still happy with my purchase as I'm sure you will be also!!!

As stated somewhere above, Imagines do not have the full system, just prep.

We have the kits to add, call your local dealer.

I missed the model. You are correct. The Imagine series doesn't have the full TPMS.

This is incorrect...There is a kit that does not include the dock that you can buy direct from GD. It is much cheaper than the full kit and also comes with the remote alert indicator.

TireLinc - Lippert TireLinc (Grand Design P/N# 450149)

Approximate cost from dealer $110 to$140 plus tax/shipping. Herr are a few pictures of what is included I the kit:

I don’t have a dealer near me and the only option I could find is through lci

Still would have bought the one I did

No interest in a phone app. I want dedicated monitoring

Sorry, I didn't intend to cal you out....I just didn't want the OP to think he didn't have an option for the OEM offerings....I am With you on "another App" but you don't need to have your phone open if you have the remote alert indicator as it will tell you if there is a tire pressure or temperature outside of your allowable set points you programmed into the unit. If it alarms, then you can open it up on your phone to see exactly what it is.

Thanks to everyone for all the great info. Now I know what to look for.

Does anyone have a problem where the remote indicator goes off but the app doesn’t tell you why?

I’d also recommend shopping if the kit is going to cost you a lot of money. We just got our new Reflection and it had everything. I am told that it will notify my phone if there is an issue. I think I read that the app does not have to be open... I’m not so sure. There is no way to test it so I keep the app open, but I don’t like having my phone out when I drive. The alarm unit that came with it doesn’t show pressure or temp. Supposedly it will blink red and send out an audible alarm. I’m not real confident in the system and I’ll probably upgrade to something else next year.

I’ll get notifications on my phone if there’s a fault, temp and pressure. But sometimes the repeater goes off and the app doesn’t show the problem. The temp and the pressure is fine in the app.

Thanks. Does the app have to be open? It’s not a big deal and I can keep it open, but I’m curious if what I read is correct.

The bummer is while there are wires to the installed dock, there is no power. Someone at the factory was slacking that day.

The funny thing is that if you buy that kit, it comes with the dock anyway. So the factory doesn't really do anything for you.

I bought that same kit for my Transcend. Just wired it directly to the load terminals on my solar charge controller.

Jeff, how well has the system worked for you? Has it been reliable?

It looks like you just keep the remote alert indicator in the truck & check the app if there's an alert. If everything works as advertised it will be a sweet system.

I used the EezTire TPMS on our motor homes & it worked great, saved me twice from blow outs. I hope this works as well.

I think GD has done us a solid with the prewiring, about $100 worth.

I know I'm not Jeff, but I have the Tire Linc system on my Reflection 320MKS. Since it came with the coach, I figured I would try them out. They work well! Once I find a good temperature range to stop it from alarming, everything is great!

Yes, I keep the remote in the cab of the truck and, because I'm paranoid, I open the One Control app throughout the drive and check the pressures and temperatures. We just drove down from Albuquerque on I-25 to I-10, into Van Horn, TX on our way to San Antonio. The pressures got as high as 91 lbs, and the highest temperature hit 115°. With 95°-100° air temperatures. I also like that it connects to the Ford Sync 3 so I can look at it there. I don't know if it alerts on the truck, but the remote screams pretty loudly (scared the piss outta the wife and me when it went off for a high temperature before I got them adjusted).
