If you have a "smart" phone they are tracking and listening, get over it! Your other choice is to go completely off the grid and buy a horse and buggy to get around in 😅

Nope! It relies on the Norse god Bluetooth.

Has anyone else had problems setting up the FOBO's? I did and finally gave up a year ago and forgot about them, until now. I *think* it may have just been a weak WIFI connection in my garage, which is a distance from the WIFI unit, but not sure. I have a way with my new WIFI system to put an extended unit in the garage and maybe that will work. Just got lazy but want to get them installed while I think about it. Again, just wondering.Thanks.

Very good point.
If I was concerned about somebody tracking my movements, being tracked through a TPMS system would be low on my list.

Once I downloaded the app it only took me about 10 minutes to install all 3 sensors on the Freewheeler.
The setup seemed pretty straightforward.

To swap the sensors from the rear of the Freewheeler to the trailer hauling it all I have to do is move the sensors and re-enter the desired air pressure settings on the app.
