Why my Honda Tire Compressor Kinda Sucks … my work around.

I really dislike my 2018 Honda Clarity included emergency tire infiltrator. I tried used it for the first time last week to inflate my tires to back to 36 PSI, but it loses about 5 PSI or more when unscrewing the adapter. There are other 12 volt compact car air compressors online ( https://amzn.to/2URtUZY ) that do not have the long screw on adapter. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases. 

Most of the time, I use a  battery operated combination car jumper air compressor ( https://amzn.to/2JqPqz8 ) that keep charged in and use in the garage and have in my trunk during biking trips. I also use it for a 12 volt power supply.

The problem with the Honda emergency tire repair sealant and air compressor is the long tire adapter. The length and time to unscrew the adapter lose about 5 PSI or more. That means i need to inflate my tires to about 41 or 42 PSI to have enough for the recommended 36 PSI. I do like the lighted gauge and that its accurate when checked with my digital air pressure gauge ( https://amzn.to/2UprO4e ).

Sure its meant for emergencies, but i use my 2017 Chevy Volt tire air compressor with tire sealant all the time during my road trips. It doesn’t have this issue. I am not going to modify the air compressor but I will note that I need to inflate the tires to 42 PSI to end up with 36 PSI. I hope this helps other Honda owners with the emergency air compressor kit.

TPMS Errors … My TPMS is acting up. WHY!?

I installed a 3rd party TPMS tire pressure sensor so i can monitor each of my tire pressure during my drive. Honda tire pressure does not show actual tire pressures. I bought one online ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 ) for about $30. I installed it about 6 months ago. See the install review here:

After 6 months, two of the sensors started acting up. One stopped sending signal and another showed very high temperature and low pressure. To trouble shoot i removed the TMPS battery on the to reset it and was on my way. After 1,000 miles, it happened again. I believe the 1632 battery was low powered and either stopped sending signal or send incorrect errors like 172 degree and low tire pressure 24 psi.

I swapped out the battery and it worked again. Lets see how long it lasts. Was it worth it. To me its still worth it. I tested the tire pressure against my digital tire pressure gauge (https://amzn.to/2naQQGH ) and fount it accurate.

DIY – How to Lower Room Noise while Working from Home.

Whether you are recording a narration or youtubing, or just trying to lower the room noise. This is how I started making my room more sound proof so i can get some silence. Working from home has all the noise from my roommates or from outdoors traffic. I either have to record a night or sound proof my room. Full parts list below. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Here is a parts list of the stuff I used in this video:
Black Out, Thermal Insulation ,Sound Insulation Curtains: https://amzn.to/39cWWIy

Acoustic Foam Panel Wedge Studio Soundproofing Wall Tiles: https://amzn.to/2UGsdhV

Convoluted Foam Bed Pad Mattress Topper 4 INCH: https://amzn.to/2xgRRS6

Coroplast sheets 24 x 36: https://amzn.to/2UckYyQ

Hot Glue Gun Full Size: https://amzn.to/3aeMUrM

3M Command Picture Hanging Strips: https://amzn.to/33BCVKq

Velcro: https://amzn.to/39cx67x

Microfiber towels: https://amzn.to/399Ther

H1N Zoom Audio Recorder / Microphone:
https://amzn.to/3deRcB8

H1N Deadcat Furry outdoor windshield: https://amzn.to/33Fe600

I started adding blackout sound insulation curtains ( https://amzn.to/39cWWIy ) and book shelves to increase wall space and density. I then added 4 inch Convoluted foam ( https://amzn.to/2xgRRS6 ) to absorb the sound from both sides of the thin interior doors and walls. This lowered much of the noise and talking from the adjacent room.

I could have used professional Acoustic foam panels ( https://amzn.to/2UGsdhV ) but those the cost was higher than to cut a foam mattress topper. I also wanted it to be on boards so i can remove them if necessary to use on the table or another room. 3M Command stripes( https://amzn.to/33BCVKq) are safer for temporary mounting without leaving adhesive residue. Using Velcro or spray adhesive will leave adhesive.

Instructions:

  1. Cut the Convoluted Foam Bed Pad Mattress Topper into 24 inches to match the Coroplast boards. 2. Use the hot glue gun to adhere the foam to the plastic boards.
  2. Follow the 3M Command Picture hanging strips instructions.
  3. Use alcohol and microfiber to clean the board and the wall or door you plan to attach to.
  4. Add the adhesive strips on the frame and mount to door or wall.
  5. Add blackout and sound isolation curtains to further deaden the sound in the room.
