Kill the app, on the iPhone, double click to see all of the apps running and swipe up on the Fobo app. Then re-open.
Also, check the Bluetooth settings, see if clicking on the Fobo one to connect it
Not sure on an Android
Thanks for makin my point on the app 
I’m hoping it works out, and as a last resort, contact Fobo
Thanks and don't get me wrong, I'm very much a geek and my smartphone is on me constantly, I've been using one since the original iPhone came out, blackberries before that.
I work in IT and use apps constantly, and that's why I don't want to have to rely on something critical. I miss notifications all the time (I have a lot of them, even after customizing), and I'm putting an Apple carplay unit into the slingshot like I have my other vehicles. That way I use the smart phone for waze and have it displayed on the screen.
Fobo won't display on the car play, and if it sends me an alert about a tire, I may not see/hear it while riding.
Also, I've seen a growing trend of apps going into zombie mode if you don't open them every few days and it just will not notify you until after you open it. This is what I'm afraid of, that the app doesn't notify me, or I don't notice it, and I ruin a wheel and/or tire.
This is not just my phone, and it may be just the apple ecosystem of it saving battery/resources. It's happened across my last 2 or 3 iphones and I've even recently reset and rebuilt the phone (no restore).
This is why I'd prefer something I can mount into the SS dash and as a bonus, it would communicate with my iphone (if I got all of my wishlist items).
Fobo has this on Fobo Tire Plus (for heavy duty trucks) https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOPLUS I've contacted them asking if they will adapt this in-car unit to work with the trike kit.
Only other wishlist item I wish Fobo would offer is internal sensors as an option.
this prompted me to do some more research, https://www.tirerack.com/acces…essure+Monitoring+Systems is a 4 wheel system, but while reading through the manual, it says if a wheel is offline, it will show ERR, but not give an audible alert.
This was in Dill's FAQ about spare tires. Only thing is, it's not a cheap system. I'll keep it in the back pocket and keep searching.
I don't want to have to rely on my smartphone. I'm a geek and love the technical stuff and I have a lot of apps on my phone, and I've used them enough, and worked with them enough, that they aren't 100% reliable and I don't want to have to rely on it.
The ones I'm eyeing on amazon are https://www.amazon.com/DEEWAZ-…-Universal/dp/B07KPC6NHV/ and https://www.amazon.com/ZEEPIN-…emperature/dp/B079JXMM2P/.
What bugs me about these is that they seem cheap, I was able to get the manual on one, it was full of spelling and grammatical errors, which means it was written by someone without a firm grasp of the English language. That's fine, but if you are going to market in the US, get someone to spell check it. The reviews are full of people having problems with them, and they really aren't geared towards trikes.
I dont like the idea of the valve stem cap being the sensor seems like this makes it more likely to get leaks between the cap and stem.
I agree, would rather have one internally, even if it means breaking down the tire and having it rebalanced, but only the cheap systems have those and doesn't look like any of them are geared for removing a wheel/sensor from the system.
Laziness I think, or they assume.
I really like Discount Tires, free fixes/rotation and they typically have very competitive prices, if not the best. However, whenever we have anything done on our cars, they never put in 36 lbs of air, almost always 30 - 32, and that triggers the dummy TPMS lights, if not right then, soon after.
I always have to hit them with a bit of air at the house.
Glad to see you didn't have to be on FB to use it, dropped my pin.
How did you put in custom icon's? I picked the SS of course, but would be neat to customize as well.
I had a similar experience, bought the Welter dual exhaust, and with the points I got $109 off of the 1320 Header, so it cost me $185.99. You can't beat that at all.
Thanks kev!!
ugh, see what you mean...
So, print 10 items on paper, if the cutter works all 10 times, you are golden
Bigdog, thanks for the info and your experience with the Fobo, I won't immediately write them off as I was going to. More research to be had.
wjfyfe, see, that's just the thing, on a Sling road trip, we wouldn't have any type of spare, and I have bad luck when it comes to Murphy... if I have a spare with me, I won't need it. Out of my truck and our two cars, plus my motorcycle, I haven't had to use a spare tire or have a tire problem in the last 10+ years. I've had low tires on the cars, pick up a nail and get a slow leak. TPMS will come on and pop some air in the tire. If it repeats a day or two later, we know it's a slow leak and take it into the tire shop.
WIth the SS and not having a spare, I'm looking for more peace of mind.
Just a thought, can you not test the cutter on paper instead of vinyl? I've never used one, so just asking.
Very little chatter about TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) from the search, so wanted to start a good discussion. I realize there is the old tried and true method, examine your wheels on your pre-ride inspection and use your air gauge. My goal is to use some technology to try and prevent wheel/tire damage/loss in case of a leak/puncture happening while out riding.
An ideal system for me would be programmable enough to set it up for use on a SlingShot / trike, waterproof monitor and sensors, internal sensor option if you don't want to put the caps on the stems and a good monitor/output to show what we need. Sending alerts to my phone is a plus, but I don't want to have to rely on my phone for the system.
Bellacorp TPMS looks promising, it's mainly geared towards big rigs and rv's, support for 20+ sensors and programmable for however many you need. A bit pricey in my mind for a three wheel setup.
Fobo Trike is an option, geared towards three wheels, but relies on your smartphone for display. Pricey for what you get. While I'm very much a technophile and love my gadgets and smart phone, if it's in my pocket, or connected to a car play unit and it doesn't get the alert or I don't notice the alert on a tire issue, I'd be very angry to have a tire/wheel ruined because I didn't see/get the alert. Others have noted in other threads, Fobo doesn't have good reviews, mainly because of the phone's app.
Tireminder A1A is probably the most well known aftermarket TPMS available and is used by a lot of trucking companies, but it's not clear if it would work with just 3 sensors and it's pricey.
There are a lot of no-name companies selling various setups, most geared towards four wheels, like Deewaz TPMS and I even contacted a couple of these companies, asking for a copy of the manual. Only one responded and it didn't appear you could adapt it for 3 wheels.
I'm contemplating buying the Bellacorp TPMS to review, but would like some other ideas if anyone has them.

A follow up, see post TPMS
I've thought about the same for road trips, I've seen others post about small air pumps, tire repair kit and small tool kits. I'll probably put something like that together.
A bit of baling wire and duct tape is always a good idea too
Don't think I've heard of the spark, so had to go look it up. At first thought, Spark just makes me think electric, but I see it's gas only. Has less horsepower than our slingshots, but is also less expensive. Definitely not the same class of vehicle, just commenting.
We own two Nissan Versa's, one is the note, which is a hatchback and looks very similar to the spark and the other is a sedan. Roughly the same price and performance between the two brands.
I wish I had found this sooner, many thanks to kev for the quick answer to my questions and even pointing out how to maximize on these savings.
Great customer support there!
Shatneyman, thanks for the confirmation, you called it. Replaced the 4 batteries and it’s up and running smoothly.
Also, what I was told was the ammeter was not, it’s just a voltmeter and I think that is what killed the batteries. It’s not tied into key, stays on all the time. With this thing sitting for an extended period of time, completely drained the batteries and they sat like that for at least a year, if not more.
It’s an after market voltmeter that was added, so I’m either going to wire it into the key if I can, or put a toggle switch on it. I won’t use the cart enough I don’t think and it’s possible it will sit idle too much without charging.
I did take your advice and put in marine deep cycle, much cheaper, and for the little use we’ll get out of it, I think they should be fine. I put in 135 ah and they are rated at 1000 CCA
Thanks for the ideas!
I was able to get a pretty decent image of the tank without removing it, but I'll be happy to remove it if you want other angles, etc.
For now, it's the last 5 digits in the VIN. I'm rather surprised that they didn't use at least 6, but for now it's just 5 (not sure what they will do if they hit the 100,000 mark). Yours is the 30,438th one off the line. Or to look at it another way, in just over four years they surpassed the projections for a 10 year build by over 50%. (based on their numbers for 2,000 a year for 10 years)
Thanks for the explanation!
Lol, I've thought about doing that with a good go-kart frame, lower to the ground.
Golf carts tip over easily yes, I know from first hand experience from my college days...
Yeah, it has 4 batteries in it, 3 of them show .1 volts and one is showing 3.4v.
Now to source some batteries for it.
