Default TPMS in a 996 GT3

Would it be possible to install the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in a 996 GT3.
I know it could easily be done from the tire side, but that's of course not all there is too it. Although not fully accurate it would still be a nice tool to have especially for track use.

I am using one for the last two years. It's nice. Fast refresh rate; faster than 1st gen oem GT3. Super easy to install and measures temperature too. : )

Ditto Slow, I've got the exact same and it's perfect, can't fault it, you can even hard wire through the back of the console/ radio.

Looks great, but my friend google also showed me this option. Good thing about this alternative is that you do not need sensors inside the tire but just a cap. Anyone experience with this one: http://www.tyredog.com

John,

Are those sensors pretty accurate?!

Really accurate!

And the best part with the temp sensor is that once you link the ratio between inner tire air temp and outside tire temp. ( *I mean an absolute average one, not for camber purposes) you can see when tires are up to temp or when they are getting too hot.
Great for R tires or tires that get greasy when hot like the 888s or tires that can kill you when cold like the non N cups. : )

Very interesting.. looks like it is easy to install too.. just the sensors in the wheels and find a power outlet on the receiver, that's it, right?!

Yes that's it.

And it has an adjustable alarm feature that warns you for min and max pressures again useful for the track..
