Some Raptor Observations & Questions

1: No Visual individual TPMS sensor pressures for each tire.

Yup. I hate not having this. My 2008 Jeep SRT8 had this, you think Ford could have it at least 4 years later in the Raptor.

RCA=>1/8" though is all analog, nothing fancy, should work I would think. I've got a pile of adapters, I'll give it a shot at lunch.

Edit: Gave it a shot with RCA=>1/8", works fine. Just get one of these for $2.

This worked for you? I had a 1/8" to RCA adapter, hooked it up and the sound quality was garbage. (Low gain, poor SQ) I thought it had to be the adapter, so I bought a new one and it still sounded like garbage. If this worked for you, I am wondering if I actually have something that can be fixed at the dealer. I have assumed this whole time it was just crap in the first place.

I'm not familiar with iHeart Radio, but why not just use bluetooth audio? That should work perfectly fine, I would think (plus FREE). That's how I listen to podcasts and they sound every bit the same as they do via earbuds.

Worked mint. I got the whole cable at Radio Shack. No Y-splitter. Sounded same as USB to lightning.

I haven't gotten my truck yet, but what is the "Tire pressure Monitoring System" on the window sticker? Is that just telling you when the tire pressure is low and what you're talking about gives you the actual PSI reading?

It's the welfare light that comes on your dash when 1,2,3, or all 4 tires are low. The issue being you never know which one so if it does come on...you need to check all four wheels.

The irony is the Gov. Requires these stupid things bc of FORD and Firestone back in the day....so NO need to tell us on the window sticker we have something that's required lol

I would pay good money to have the TPMS issue working as it should.

It is priceless on sports cars. For a sports truck it would be even more useful.

Bluetooth audio is 10 times better quality than that damned headphone jack. I hate that thing

word. Why don't you just use bluetooth instead of a poverty aux jack

As long as we're on TPMS, how much more would it have cost to allow the BCM to recognize 5 tires and put a sensor in the spare. My 2008 FJ Cruiser does this!
