Tire Pressure Sensors

I've seen in a few pictures from the Beta Testers that they have a tire pressure sensor on the ADV1. I think someone even mentioned it in the Beta-Tester-Only forum.

Any recommendations on which ones work well?

I currently use the Fobo 3 it connects to an app on your phone. Unfortunately the three sensors are for a trike or the Can-Am. So they are set up as front and rear. I just put the two rear ones ,for the trike, on the back motorcycle tire and the other on the ADV1. It works great. Not cheap, but the features in the app are nice.
 
I've run this one Amazon.com for a year.
Plusses:
-Cheap
-Solar powered head, mounts perfectly on the headstock nut
-One of the very few I found for trikes
-Dedicated hardware, if my phone fails or the app crashes or whatev, but that is a personal preference
Minuses:
-Remove a TPMS sensor (or lose one) and ride on, you get no notification of lost signal, the PSI just locks at the last number
-Finish on the head unit has started to delaminate a bit, but my bike lives in the elements, not in a garage, so YMMV
-Beeper is not loud enough for me to hear at highway speed with earplugs in

Still, last summer it gave me enough notice to get the hell off the highway and to a gas station so I could wait for a tow truck in the shade. Worth every penny.
