Subject:Tire pressure device was:PSI and Bars,
From:Eric Caron
Date:Mon, 10 Feb 2020 23:02:00 -0500

More details as I need to check out the iPhone app to see if it works for me.

Is this the Rand Mcnally tams?
There is a iPhone app that looks like it might work for me.
Something for me to play with while others are driving.
