I have just ordered these through Ebay from this seller slx_4x4 on eBay

Disappointed the Calais V Series 1 didn't come with this as standard. It wasn't even an option. I believe the VF2 on some models this optional now..

Silver colour to match my alloy wheels $279. They also come in black for same price. I will let you know how I go with them. They received the highest rating on Choice review.

Reserve editions have this and I'd say my17 will also. Very handy feature I hardly ever check Tyre pressures now I check them all the time. Warned me when I had a flat one morning too and I wouldn't have noticed it straight away.

I have installed the Fobo Tire Pressure Monitoring System seems to be working as intended.

Just need somewhere to put my phone in a holder.. Any recommendations?

Why waste the money most of them don't synk with any systems and are only accurate when stopped and mostly not even then. Buy a decent tyre pressure gauge better use of money as it is still going to cost you to get them intalled

Looks like you have never used them and it's my money so I get to choose how I spend it. It doesn't need to "synk" (sic) with any systems, I have no clue what you are referring to. It didn't cost me anything to install them, it is DIY and there is even a video how to do it. There is no special skills involved.

The kit can only be used by your registered email address. There is no need for security as your tyre pressures would be of no interest to anyone else. The app though is already secured by the devices in-built firewalls.
It comes with Lock Nuts (optional to install) I have put these on my valves , I can confirm they cannot be removed by hand. You receive a special tool (2 provided) to remove the locknuts. I keep one in my centre console and one at home.

I purchased from this Ebay Store http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172143581428?rmvSB=true . They have a store front in WA called Shoreline 4 X 4 and a landline number. It took 7 days from WA to Sydney to receive it by Australia Post Parcel Post-tracking number provided. Delivery is free.

You mean from Holden? I can't find them on their accessories page. I don't know what you are referring to.
