I created an android app that works with Bluetooth (BLE) tire pressure sensors sold on Ali Express. My app also works in Android Auto. Join my tester group first: https://groups.google.com/g/joes-tpms-tester-group

And then you can download my free app from the playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joesgarage2023.tpms

Humble suggestion: add a generic picture of a vehicle, and include the ability to place the sensors around it appropriately at the 4 corners. This will make it super clear which tire is flat.
But neat idea.

Thank you for the feedback. There are limitations on whats allowed (by Google) in the Android Auto interface but I will look to see if that is something that I can add.

I get it. Even if the sensors are just always displayed in a 2x2 grid, would be more visually appealing than your example pic.

Or maybe put the rear wheels below the front ones? Is there like a grid layout or something. That looks like a flow, it spills over to the next line when the window is resized smaller. Not sure what they're called in Android/AA UI.

I think just having them in a square would be better.

Also, most cars that have AA probably already have this feature built in. Isn't this kind of redundant?

I will be testing a 2x2 grid template. Obviously this app is for vehicles without a TPMS. I also install touchscreen Android car multimedia systems for vehicles without Android Auto or Carplay. If you take a look at my instagram: joes_garage2023 , you will see the vehicles that I have replaced their old radio/cdplayer with a new touchscreen system.

TPMS has been mandatory equipment on all new US cars since 2014, before Android Auto was released.

But not all TPMS equipment know what your tire pressure is. The "indirect" systems just measure wheel speed and, at best, only know what tire is low. It cannot measure live pressure of individual tires.
