I have the TD-1400A-X system installed on my UltraVan.  It works 
perfectly.  The display is in Mandarin but the insturction booklet is in 
English.  There is a U-Tube video in English showing the instruction 
booklet for the TD-1400.   I had no trouble setting it up for all five 
tires as the display icons show what you are setting.  You set the front 
tires first - low pressure, then high pressure; then high temperature.  
Next the rear tires in the same sequence.  Finally pressing the 
temperature button twice in rapid sequence get you to the spare tire; or 
in my case the trailer tire which you set for low pressure.  When all 
tires are winthin the limits, the car display icon show five green tires 
at the respective locations.  Should a tire go out of specifications the 
tire in question showes red on the display and the alarm beeps five 
times in rapid succession, then once every five seconds and that tire 
display flashes.  When the display has not recieved an update from the 
wheel sensor, the display shows all the info in white.  As soon as it 
updates it turns green.  If a battery runs down the display flashes 
white for that sensor. The sensors are not interchangable and work only 
with the monitor they are shipped with.  Should you need as new sensor, 
a special learning sensor must be ordered for the position required; 
then the display must be put into learning mode to learn that there is a 
new sensor in the system.  Once that is done the system functions normally

I ordered my system on Alibaba and it was shipped from mainland China by 
Singapore Mail.  It took about 10 days to arrive.  The five tire, color 
model is not readily available in the US.

The first one I received showed words like “Low Pressure Setting” and “High Pressure Setting” in Chinese characters.  I complained and sent pictures to the seller and they quickly sent a replacement kit which then did exactly the same thing.  Has anyone else tried one of these and if so, what was your experience on  this?  I keep thinking that there must be some way to switch from Chinese to English but they haven’t been able to tell me if there is.  They are shipped very quickly directly from China.
