Scosche, android stereo. Tpms light on. Help please - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sargonkhabeer · 03-26-2017, 12:57 PM

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2013 2ls and I installed
7" android stereo and scosche dash kit. Everything seemed working just fine
After a week of driving, the tpms light came on and the reading on the tires keeps switching. Sometimes all tires read nothing and sometimes it shows 1 or three tires only. And sometimes it shows all four tires and the light goes off for a few miles. I contacted scosche and they said to update the firmware. When I tires to do it, it showed that the unit had the most recent firmware. Help please

my 2011 ss did the same thing. I had to return it finally. it works in some cars and others it won't.

So you went back to the stock stereo ?

Same thing happened to me and Scosche send me a new unit. Turned out to be caused by the power cable for a dash cam that I routed above the windshield. If you think it's the Scosche call them and see if they'll send you a new one.

I heard too many problems with the Scosche kit so I went Metra and very happy with it

I have a Scosche kit and don't have any issues with it, but I did not install it myself.

The only complaint I have with the Scosche kit is that it will partially block visibility of the top 2 gauges on the 4-pack gauges.

I did email scosche and I'm waiting for their reply

No, it wasn't. I thought it was because the symptoms were the same as others have had from the Scosche. I had added a dash cam and ran the power cord along the top of the windshield. It was what interfered with the tpms and key fob signals.

I mentioned it in case you have done the same for a radar detector or something. One thing you can do that I didn't is unplug power to the Scosche and see if the sensors show up. You have to drive, but they should show up right away.
