1. Introduction
The XTRONS Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is designed specifically to increase driving safety and to provide a better understanding of your vehicle's tire conditions. Once correctly installed, these internal sensors automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature, transmitting real-time statistics to the receiver.
This TPMS unit is compatible with XTRONS Android head units (Android 9.0 and above) and other aftermarket Android head units (Android version 9.0 or above). A specific application (APK file) is required to operate the TPMS on your head unit. Please contact XTRONS for the correct APK file URL.
Note: The Android head unit is not included with this product.

4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Sensor Installation
The internal sensors require professional installation as they are mounted inside the tire. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified technician.
- Remove the original valve from the tire.
- Install the TPMS sensor in the designated position inside the tire.
- Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
- Screw on the nut and valve-cap securely.
- Perform a dynamic balance test on the wheel.
- Adjust and counterweight the wheel by adding weight bars as needed.
4.2 Receiver Connection and Software Setup
- Connect the USB receiver to an available USB port on your XTRONS or compatible Android head unit.
- Ensure your Android head unit is running Android version 9.0 or above.
- Obtain the specific TPMS application (APK file) from XTRONS support.
- Install the APK file on your Android head unit.
- Launch the TPMS application. The system should automatically detect the receiver and sensors.
- Follow the on-screen instructions within the app for initial sensor pairing and configuration, if necessary.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the TPMS system will continuously monitor your vehicle's tire pressure and temperature. The data will be displayed on your Android head unit via the dedicated TPMS application.
5.1 Real-time Monitoring
The TPMS application on your head unit will show the current pressure and temperature for each tire (Front Right, Rear Right, Front Left, Rear Left). This allows you to quickly assess the status of your tires at a glance.
5.2 Alert System
The system is designed to increase driving safety by providing timely alerts for abnormal tire conditions. The following alerts are supported:
- Tyre Leaking Alert: Notifies you of a rapid pressure drop.
- Low Pressure Alert: Warns when tire pressure falls below the user-defined lower limit.
- High Pressure Alert: Warns when tire pressure exceeds the user-defined upper limit.
- High Temperature Alert: Warns when tire temperature exceeds the user-defined upper limit.
When the system detects an abnormal tire status, the TPMS application will immediately send an alert to the monitor. The corresponding tire icon will flash, its color will change (typically from green to red), and an audible buzzer will sound to draw your attention.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Sensor Battery
The internal sensors are designed for long-term use. Typically, the batteries in internal TPMS sensors are not user-replaceable and require professional service or sensor replacement when depleted. Consult with a tire specialist or XTRONS support for battery-related inquiries.
6.2 General Care
- Keep the USB receiver dry and free from dust.
- If accessible during tire changes, ensure sensors are clean and free from debris.
- Regularly check tire pressure with a manual gauge to cross-reference with TPMS readings and ensure accuracy.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Common Issues and Solutions
- Sensors not connecting or displaying data:
- Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the Android head unit.
- Verify that the TPMS application is correctly installed and running on the head unit.
- Check the Android version of your head unit; it must be 9.0 or above for compatibility.
- Restart the Android head unit.
- If a specific sensor is not connecting, it might need re-pairing through the TPMS application settings, or its battery might be depleted.
- Incorrect pressure/temperature readings:
- Ensure sensors were installed correctly by a professional.
- Recalibrate or re-pair sensors via the TPMS application if available.
- Compare readings with a reliable manual tire pressure gauge.
- TPMS application not launching or crashing:
- Ensure your head unit meets the Android version requirement (9.0+).
- Reinstall the TPMS APK file. Contact XTRONS for the latest version.
- Clear the app's cache and data from your Android head unit's settings.
7.2 Compatibility
This TPMS is designed for XTRONS Android head units and other aftermarket Android head units running Android 9.0 or above. If you are experiencing compatibility issues, please ensure your head unit meets these requirements and that you have the correct APK file from XTRONS.
