Other than that, not bad.
That is not a digi display...that is just a neon yellow note saying that the air bags are not active.
Again...not a display, just a post-it taped to the dash.

The new ones suck. If the valve cap comes loose or falls off, the aluminum core oxidizes and cannot be removed from the stem. The sensor then becomes useless as it lets air out over time, and then you have to drop 100 bucks for a new one.
GM has new ones that are rubber but they look like old valve stems, which means that stupid tire tech's will be trying to rip out the rubber stems.
