The FOBO Tire Plus In-Car unit is a complex device that performs multiple
functions. Due to the shielding effect of the car chassis, some drivers may face
difficulty in receiving the tire sensor signals on their smartphone when sitting inside
the car. This problem may be further aggravated when the driver places the
smartphone in positions that are not optimal such as trouser pocket or waist pouch.
The In-Car unit is designed with an efficient antenna that can pick up sensor signals
up to 10dB better than a usual smartphone. With the In-Car unit, you can be assured
of a good signal reception from the tire sensors.
The In-Car unit is designed to be placed anywhere inside the car, please do not
remove it from the car. In order for FOBO Tire Plus to functions optimally, please
ensure that the In-Car unit remains inside the car. Note that In-Car unit is not water-
proof. The best location to place the In-Car unit will be to affix it on the lower
dashboard position but away from direct sunlight. Use the Velcro double side tape
provided in the packaging to secure the In-Car unit. Do not enclose the In-Car unit
inside any metal compartment or box. This will cause the In-Car unit unable to
receive signals from tire sensors.
To conserve battery life, the In-Car unit will go into „sleep‟ mode after it detects
that the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes. It will „wake up‟ once
it detects that the vehicle moves. You can still receive your tire pressure and
temperature data by accessing the FOBO Tire App on the smartphone, even when
the In-Car unit is asleep. This is due to FOBO Tire Plus‟s sensors continuous
operation of 24 x 7 which allows you to receive an alert even when you are not
driving the car.
The In-Car unit will also synchronize with your smartphone with your settings that
you have changed every time it wakes up. For any changed settings in the App, it
will only be synchronized during the next In-Car unit wake up cycle. Alternatively
