What is the difference between with rearview sensor and without rearview sensor? The heat shield website wasn't helpful either.

Not sure either what the difference can be here. You may have to find a phone number and call.It is a good product thought !!!Good luck !

I think it would mean that the rearview sensor needs a special cut out or something in the heat shield. See if you can find a front & back view of that type of mirror on-line

Sean: I cannot imagine what a rearview mirror sensor would be on this product. It is simply a very good sunshade...reflects the head and light away from your cars interior. It is custom cut so that it fits your cars windshield pattern exactly...that's it, nothing else.

I also have one sensor dead two years after purchase on Amazon (P409S Retrofit TPMS). I am considering getting another complete system since if one battery is gone, can the rest be far behind? Given the good performance of three systems in three of my vehicles I might spring for another complete system. Peace of mind is priceless.

one sensor to the rear is bad and we have not had a chance to return since it was installed. the other rear sensor was not working but the company replaced it with the wrong one.Going into heavy rain does set the front sensors off with a loud alarm but the beeping of the alarm can be turned off. We installed the unit on a 1997 GMC pick-up truck.

I agree w/ Gary because I did just that. It's cheaper and also the replacement sensor that I purchased thru Amazon, Heath / Zenith SL5316 is the best one I've had because you can adjust the range so the unit doesn't go off when vehicles go by. Also, unlike other units I've had, it doesn't keep going on & off when it's windy or raining

I bought this as a gift as I received a similar one as one. For mine, the outside sensor should be sheltered from direct sunlight as you want the temperature to reflect "in the shade." How you could do this without "getting rained on" is beyond me. Mine is under an eve. If you have no eve access, I suggest you improvise a simple one. make sure there's enough circulation room as to not trap heat and damage the sensor or at least cause it to give invalid readings. Good luck...

It has been my experience with these units, (I have 4 In/Out temp units) that it is best to run them thru the firewall to a point in front of the radiator. (bout 6 inches away from the radiator itself. This allows air to flow across the sensor when you are moving thus giving a realistic outside temp. Of course the temp reading goes up when you are sitting still, but it's still good. The next best option is to run the sensor wire along the dash and down the door post and into the cavity in front of the door. This gives a reasonable temperature indication, but will be erroneous when the vehicle is sitting in the sun, and will not respond a fast as it would in front of the Radiator. Good luck.

You are better off replacing both and this kit will do it. I had the same issue in which I only needed one. But you are hard pressed to find just one sensor that will work. Save yourself the headache and use a kit.

The "G-Sensor" is a Gyroscope Sensor,... I have mine mounted to the back of my Rear-View Mirror facing forward (the highest viewpoint of the car),... the G-Sensor helps compensate the minor jolting, shaking and vibrations of the vehicle while you're driving. Now, if you take your vehicle off-road,... you'll probably have to adjust it somewhat but, for the most part, I left mine on the Factory Default Setting. >> Roads in Arizona, with a Speed Limit of 75mph, - are pretty smooth as is :-P

It's the same sensor. But what I found out is the one i purchased seems to be used. The company i bought it from will say different but had to replace batteries,one didnt come with mounting plate and another had signs of being mounted once before. With all that said they work great and have no issues with sensors performance. Hope this helps?

I can't answer your question since eventually I didn't use these sensors since it doesn't fit my car

No heat shield avaliable for the Takeda. Get the K&N; if you want a heatshield.

I'm not an expert on the issue, but it seems to me that if you have a powered rearview mirror, you're good to go. You just need access to the port behind the mirror where the power cords enter. If you don't have a powered mirror, or don't have access to where the cords enter the mirror, then go with something else. I don't think it's so much about the model of the car, as much as it is about the powered wires going to the mirror.

Check one thing, the 2013-14 model Dodge Ram 1500 sports have a Ambient temperature sensor on the driver side mirror. If your truck does have one then it is a pain in the ass to make these work because you to incorporate that into these or else your truck will give you a check engine light and -40 since it doesn't have the sensor

Sensor 1 is always before the catalytic converter and Sensor 2 is always after the converter. On the RAV, sensor 1 is high on the manifold/catalytic converter (accessible under the heat shield), while sensor two is accessible underneath the vehicle (remove the black plastic piece connected to your bumper).Bank 1 is on the drivers side, and bank 2 is on the passenger side.http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/128709-2000-rav4-1az-fe-o2-lambda-sensor-bank-identification/

No need for a speed sensor this unit has a built in GPS, it also has a built in water temp sensor on the transducer. Great product.

Steph , yes the heat shield can be usedto close off the engine compartment from the inner fender. This makes the most sense if something hot is close by like the exhaust etc. The only negative is that the shielding may be visible from outside the car as it is shiny. Missing inner fender seals and liners can be bought from the auto dealers and auto recyclers and being black and a direct replacement will not be noticeable.

My sensor has been at the end of the driveway for over a year. I did take a gladware container and cut it to make a protective cover. Basically left the bottom one and 3/4 th sides on it. I believe mine has a black gasket but I have had it for a while. I LOVE it. No sneaking up on me.
