2022 Base Tacoma SR

Guys does the base model come with the tire pressure display in the MID? I drove my Truck strait from dealer to discount tire where I bought wheels and they swapped sensors....no warning lights I just noticed I could toggle the steering wheel switch and didint see anything about tire pressure..wheel positions or anything. Thanks in advance

 

Pretty sure its required on all new vehicles although with recent app update i hear that base models no longer have access to tire pressure.

 

I haven't seen on my 21 sr

 

Nope, only SR5 and above trim can see from MID

If you use Toyota App from 1.2.x version, you still can see live tire pressure from the app if you are in the trial or paid connected service.

However, Toyota recently just updated the app to 2.0.0 (for iOS at least). The result is that SR, SR5, manual trans, and pretty much all Toyota models without the ability of remote connect now lost the ability to view live tire pressure. I think you can continue using or downloading old version app on Android devices and keep on using it without jailbreaking, but who knows how long Toyota's API will still support version 1.2, eventually it'll lose visibility of live tire pressure.

I was going to keep on paying for the safety connect at $8/month to see tire pressure via the app for my SR, but Toyota's software engineering decision makes it easy for me not to spend any $ to support them.

I looked into those external TPMS sensors that are screwed on the valve stems, although I can get the tires rebalanced after no problem, but most of them are made of brass and will cause galvanic corrosion in the thread with aluminum valve stems and seize and damage in the long run, so I didn't go that route.

I do have a hand-held TPMS relearn tool that I can use to read the pressure by intercepting the signal broadcasted from the sensor, it's by proximity and I don't have to touch the valve stems. The drawback is that the vehicle needs to be stationary and I still like to know the live pressure reading in motion.

I'm now looking into OBD2 data gauge, the setup is a generic bluetooth OBD2 talking to an Android app that displays the live tire pressure from the OEM TPMS sensors, I just bought a dirt cheap Android phone for that and will be doing tinkering once i have all the components.
