Told them I couldn't see any of the numbers unless I went into a totally dark room. They said Amazon has a shade kit. I installed the sensors and mounted the monitor using their suction cup mount. Turned it on this morning as we left the campground. Going down the road I could see the tire locations occasionally blinking but I couldn't read any of the numbers. Got settled into a campground and looked on Amazon for the shade and couldn't find it. Obviously getting frustrated. Anyone had similar issues?



I think the issue or reading the TST color monitor is that if you wear glasses that are polarized they don't play nice with the polarized color screen in the TST unit. For a quick check simply take your glasses off and see if you can read the numbers on the TPMS monitor.
