Finally getting the FD going after a few years down time and would like to add a TPMS system. Would be nice to monitor pressure temp both on and off the track.

Anyone have experience with any retrofit kits such as:

List pressure accuracy a +/- 1psi and temp +/- 4c which is not bad.

Can't find any specs on this one

Very late reply to this, but maybe it will be of some use. I imagine you've tried at least one kit so far. Neither of those links work anymore, but I'd bet the one I used was similar to the second one you posted.

I was using an external sensor set on my FD a few years ago but I kept having issues with one of the tires losing air while I was driving. The only thing I could figure is that the rubber valve stem wasn't strong enough for the extra weight at the end of it and it would leak due to bending. As soon as I switched to an internal set (that also came with metal valve stems), I never had any more issues. Not with air loss anyway. After a couple years, the receiver stopped working. Both sets came with the receiver/gauge that plugs into the cigarette lighter port. One of them just died completely and I swapped to the other one but it eventually failed too.

Now I'm looking into using a set through the Joying Android head unit I just installed. Joying only offers the external sensors like these and I want to keep using internal sensors, specifically ones that allow battery replacement if possible. The internal sensors I used with the cigarette port version have replaceable batteries, but I can't find a way to read the codes on those sensors so I can reuse them in another system. I did find only one other set with replaceable batteries, from another Android head unit company called T'eyes. I bought that kit, but I'm having issues getting it installed on the Joying so far.

I actually tried doing this a couple years ago already. I found a set sold by Phoenix Automotive, they claimed that the batteries were replaceable and that it would work with android auto, because until recently I was using a Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. Once I received them, I realized that both of those claims were lies, and the company basically left me in the lurch when I tried to return them. I did install that software and it looks like those sensors would work, but I'd like to still use the ones from T'eyes if I can. Or maybe I'll just use the Phoenix kit for now.

I'd like to find a tool that can read the sensor IDs.
