I just received this item. hooked everything up and noticed it sometimes takes 5 or 10 minutes for all 4 tires to connect. I am close to the tires.

We also discovered similar behavior if you 'start from scratch' each time you're driving; HOWEVER the manufacturer suggests leaving the receiver on all the time (it does 'go to sleep' but we find that just getting in the car and closing the door wakes it) and, in this case, the tires are all registering very quickly.

Simply a guess...I have a 4 door Lexus with 16" tires. To inflate 5psi takes just under one minute, so 20psi on same size tire would probably be @ 4 minutes....but some variables have to be accounted for, e.g. temperature, weight, whether the tire is sealed on the rim, connection of compressor is tight, etc. Like all compressors I have used, the gauge on the hose in not entirely accurate, so I always use a handheld gauge just to verify.

I haven't had anything like that happen, there will be some pauses but only for a millisecond. I would check your connection and if that doesn't do anything, contact the seller. Could be defective.

My tires are less than 3" apart at the closest point. However, at the ground the distance is about 18". My wheel locks are a little more than half way extended. Each threaded end is about 4.5" - 5" long, so that might let you know how much more distance can be covered. Hope this helps (hth)

You probably don't have the tanks back on correctly. They have to fit just right to make the connection. Just take them off and reset them and then try again.

Ours did that too at first, what I did was I pushed the car back and forth. It started working after like 10 mins of me pushing it. Lol hope this helps?

Mine took about the same amount of time give or take a minute... Very long and slow to install...

Interesting question. I don't know although I have serviced my tires dozens of times with no issues. Sorry I know that is not much help...Gadget

My works well. The connection is deeper then it looks. It can be a tight fit. The hard part is swinging the level up to clamp on to the valve if your tire is small. You may have to adjust the depth of the plunger in the valve. If it is too deep the clamp will not be able to fully push it down to allow air to enter. There is a small tool for that. A bike shop should be able to help with this. If there is not one near you most auto supply stores should have this tool as vehicle tires can have the same problem.

Great question, I have several but have not yet connected them. I'll try to do that tonight and report back.

Mine is working fine, I'm guessing the bypass side is grounding it's self. Most likely against the housing. :/

I have three external Hard Drives and a printer attached to my computer thru this device. They all work at the same time. The one down side to this device is that it takes longer for my computer to come ready when starting up each day. Normally it would take about 1 minute now it takes upwards of two minutes. I have also notice that when you click on the drives there seems to be a slight pause before you get access. Maybe half a second. Those are the only things I have noticed. Jury is still out on whether I keep it or not.

It should be on the display which tire is causing the problems, or which tires. If not, buy one and get it installed, see if this clears up the problem.

For sure. I just did a flat from dead to inflated -- took about 20 minutes with wall plug. Much easier than changing the tire, then drove to town and got a patch.

Have you tried letting the engine idle while attempting to connect? My 06 Focus wouldn't connect till the engine was idling in park, took about half a minute to a minute

Have this wired into my river jeep, I have 35 inch tires, takes awhile but I'm happy with it.

Did you ever find a answer? Trying to figure this out myself, the tires seem to be the weak point!
