A product reviewer commented on another brand that has a sensitivity control 4 adjusting the sensor to trigger properly. What is that brand? Is it possible to replace the sensor and use the STI receivers?

There are many manufacturer's who make some kind of motion sensor, most do have the sensitivity adjustment. Unfortunately the vast majority of wireless transmission equipment uses proprietary signal formatting and runs on a specific frequency. As such in order to use the STI receivers you must use their sensors as well.

They have a model WD-318 but it appears to only work with 4 sensors not 16 but it could also be the seller is unaware of the true capabilities of the device. You can buy white sensors and keep the black base. I tried to do that but was sent the wrong addition sensor so I'm returning it.

If you have a OBD reader that has SRS Info, it will tell you which sensor is bad. I replaced both on my '05 Silverado and the system reset and is working fine. Both of mine went out at the same time. But you need the reader to be sure.

My tuning system went haywire after a few years of heavy use and wouldn't tune anything - it jumped all over the place with buttons or with the knob. I didn't replace it, but I'm thinking of getting another one - when it was working, it was a good, sensitive receiver.

No. You need a custom tune for that. There are ways to trick the sensor into thinking it is working.

I am NOT very happy with my sensor either, I had to call GTO SEVERAL times, they shipped me a new receiver(don't use the decoder now) and it STILL does not work every time. I would suggest calling GTO, they do a pretty good job helping you out. It could be a # of things...but I would bet it's your receiver.

Hi, I would replace the sensor just to be on the safe side, you need to match the part #s so they work as a team, they did change the system of sending/receiving TPMS DATA around the time of your vehicle, you might need to go online to a VW CC FORUM, you will get more info there, Phil James.

Did you get an answer? I'm having that problem with some cowboy studio triggers I bought. Going to return them and keep looking. Let me know will ya. Thanks

You should be able to use the factory sensor, but we always recommend purchasing a new probe to be on the safe side.

I bought the sensor but the watch doesn't recognize it. Better to contact Timex before you buy new strap. Just check The reference before. Not all watches match with sensors

The system is basically an infrared variance responder. Anything that throws contrasting light in the field of the reciever will cause an alarm. Fast changing light on a cloudy day will set it off. Basically, there are no sensitivity adjustments available

I don't know anything about YONGNUO triggers, but I doubt it. Sekonic makes the PW units and the meter. They're made to work together. As far as I know, there are no widely available open source systems for meter/trigger. Anybody know different?

My husband says this can be adjusted - it is a sensitivity adjustment. He may be able to give me more info later. He had to tweak ours a few times but we absolutely love it!

The newer detector has better sensitivity and range. It also seems to get less flas triggers. I have the newer one in my Jeep with the Hemi V8 under the hood, the older one is in the Camry with the 4 cyl. Engine. Both have saved my butt numerous times.

This is exactly what I tried, two sensors programmed to work with two base receivers, and it worked, but for some reason, one of the bases receivers quit receiving signals. I tried reprogramming the dip switches, with the unit off, but nothing works, yet both sensors continue to work with the original receiver. The base powers up, and looks operational, but just will not receive the signals from the sensors anymore. So yes, I had two receivers picking up two different sensors, but then the one receiver failed after a short time, about two months. Maybe you will have better luck with dependability if your receivers are working properly.

I put a small stainless steel plate beside mine and turned down the sensitivity//works great,went off the other night..i looked out,and nobodyon my property,,so I unplugged it,,,,found out in the morning ,,some one ,broke in to the car,next door and cut my locks on my bike trailer,,,but must have left,,because of the barking,,real lat

I don't know how to determine which sensor is bad. I had asked the technician at Belle Tire to look into it for me. They told me the far left hand part was bad so I took one off another vehicle and it fixed the problem right away. It only takes about 5 seconds to remove the part and replace it. Both the housing snap-in features and harness connectors are very easy to disengage and snap back together. The first part I ordered was defective. They sent a new one immediately... very responsive. Did not have to reset.
