    I have a 2007 Toyota Prius. I'd like have a digital display of the pressure of the four tires.

    Anyone know of a relatively cheap aftermarket device that can connect to the OEM tire pressure monitors and display the tire pressures? I thought I'd check before buying a complete system, the valve caps and display, or something similar.

    In case the above doesn't exist, I haven't been able to find it, any recommendations on a complete system, such as valve caps and a display.

    There's lots to choose from on Ebay and elsewhere in the $15-$30 range... Basically the valve caps measure the pressure and send a signal to a display that has a battery in it. There's more elaborate ones than that, but that's where it starts.

    I'm running this in my Tacoma, in wheel TPMS has been dead for several years. Very simple system, install the pre programmed valve caps and go for a drive in about 5 minutes to initialize and it will show the updated tire pressure and temperatures. Has a solar panel so you don't need to charge it often also it powers down on its own I think the unit is activated by sound or has an accelerometer, when I open the door it powers up automatically. You can also change the batteries in each of the sensors.

    I think they run about 60-70 on Amazon. This one was a gift.
