I’ve just bought myself a set of aftermarket TPMS sensors for my NC. They were talking about them on the Gadget Show the other night and after a bit of research I bit the bullet and ordered some. Not wanting a separate display stuck to the top of my dashboard I chose a set that I could use via a smartphone app - see screenshot. They aren’t the sort that need fitting to the rims these just replace your ordinary valve caps.
Well they work and I also get a reassuring audible alert from my phone when the pressure in any tyre falls below a limit that I can set.
The downside is that you have to remember to start the app before you drive off - not so good. They’re also a bit odd looking and perhaps quite nickable, not that they would be any good to anyone as each one has a unique code that you need before you can pair them with the app.
I’m already not sure they’re going to be worth the hassle, but I’m giving them a chance. Has anyone else bought a set and if so how did you get on with them?

Update…
Did my first long journey at the weekend since I fitted these. I got several false alerts saying tyres were losing pressure but on investigation all was ok. I had to come off the M6 on one occasion and wasn’t best pleased!
I’m sending them back, not worth the hassle fiddling about with them 
Oh well, one to put down to experience.
