Hello all... I have a 2019 RAV4 Adventure and got a flat the other day. Turns out these cars do NOT have a true TPMS pressure readout display (or screen) on the dash, just a warning light that turns on only when its already too late. There are tons of aftermarket digital displays that use "sensor caps" but that seems silly when there are already sensors inside each wheel. Does anyone know of an add-on display, or phone app, that uses the factory OEM wheel sensors?
TPMS (tire pressure) digital readout

It seems that everyone that got the last Toyota app update (about a week ago) now gets the Low Pressure warning.

I guess we better just consider it an approximation of our tire pressures.
I've been using the Toyota app for a few months now, it's never shown a cold pressure, only warm pressure after a drive, so all it's really good for is to let you know if you have low pressure after driving, never what it is before, it's not even consistent as has been said, I run mine at a confirmed 38psi, sometimes it shows one or two tires low, other times they'll all be the same at 39psi or 40psi, last time the fronts were a pound higher than the rear, on top of that ever since it quit working for '20 owners, Toyota has been trying to fix it for them and has broke it for everyone more than a couple times, it would be nice if they fix it once and for all.
Is the Toyota app down right now?
Mine has not updated since Friday the 27th evening. Still shows me parked at the grocery store. Trying to manually refresh it times out in error. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Didn't know they made this. Just purchased and will have it by Feb 26th. I'll report back if no one else does.

Heck yes. Way to take one for the team and try it. I assumed it would work.

panecea? oh yeah!! first sentence totally true, rest of comment meh...fyi, i've been saved from destroying a tire by running it too low numerous times....screws, etc cause slow leaks, i've had 4 in past 6 months and am too old and forgetful to circle the car every time i drive. even then i may not be able to see the difference between 30+ psi and 20....the big times have been on the road when i saw the one tire go down to 26 psi and was able to pull over at the next stop and fill the slowly leaking tire....kept doing that for several days, looking at the psi on the dash beats the hell out of putting a gauge on the valve!! another time i left the house and one block later saw right rear at 15 lbs, it'd leaked overnight, a screw, went back home, filled from air compressor, then took it to tire shop, they fixed it. fyi, i couldn't tell by driving that tire was almost flat...won't own a car wo tpms...
Definitely drains the battery.
Also works with Carista free version.
