Bluetooth tpms recommendation
In an effort to continue to be satisfied with my 2018 SGS I want to install a simple bluetooth TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system). Would prefer to spend around $100 or less.
It does make me feel alive to lay down on my garage floor to get to that rear tire to check its pressure but my soon to be 77 year old body is starting to scream "what happened to work smarter not harder".
I want a system that I can check the pressure before I leave my garage. I believe I have seen some that only work after you've ridden awhile and maybe another system that you have to have metal valve stems. I have the standard rubber.
Anyone have a recommendation but prefer from personal experience?

I looked at the FOBO and it requires active phone with and an APP. If you phone is not in range of the cell tower, no data available, then it doesn't work. I verified this with riders locally who have the FOBO. They all also switched to metal valve stems to support the FOBO attachment.
I use this now on my 2019 FLHTP -
I find that the SYKIK reads 2 PSI higher than my 3 other tire gauges, but it is consistent. No app or phone required.
