Where is everybody mounting their tire pressure monitors? When I had the TST 507 I just mounted it to the glass at the top of the A pillar but now with the new TST 770 its bigger and doesnt fit so well there anymore.
I'll assume you only use the TST for monitoring your campers tires when you travel....
I put a rubber band around mine and "mount' it on the rear view mirror (along with my rear view camper camera monitor). I figure since the rear view mirror is useless when towing I can see the rear view from the camper's rear camera in the place I normally look when not towing and also see my tires pressures at a glance. But I have a TireMinder I-10 and I think my monitor is smaller than TST's. Just the same - I thought I'd make the suggestion for the rear view mirror location.

Thats where I mounted my haloview as well and yes the tst is only when I am pulling the 5th wheel
Since there is so much real estate up front, I just have it mounted as low as it can go in the middle of the screen. After a while it doesn't even register there for me.
I installed the BuiltRight dash mount and have it set up to hold both, my GPS unit and my TireMinder head unit. I take them down when not towing so all you see is the 2 joysticks sticking up. And if I didn't already have another mount for my phone, I could use it for my phone too. I even added additional 12V ports under the mount so I didn't have to drag the wires all over the place. They plug up right underneath the mount so it's all clean!
GPS and TireMinder unit's ready for action. All that's left when the GPS and TireMinder unit is not installed.
I also have the BuiltRight dash mount and RAM arms. Works great !! I have 4 of my upfitter switch wires with female cigarette sockets mounted behind the glovebox. The wires are run to the dash via automotive conduit. I can switch up my selection anytime by switching which dash accessory I want to work by which switch by just changing the plugs out.
i currently have my trailer backup camera, my CB (under seat), my dash cam, and my TST monitor charge cable wired that way. My ScanGuage II runs off of OBD plug.
Can those monitors be wired to the upfitter switches on my f350 or is there a better way? I don't have the knowledge to run the wires to power those devices, but I would like to have it done. Who could I contact to do this and how much would it cost, approximately?

So each monitor is wired to a different switch? I assume you did the wiring yourself? Do you know who I would ask to do this for me? The dealership or...? Any idea what it might cost - even ballpark?

I don’t have any idea how much it would cost, but it will take a little time if the person is particular like me. I presume any automotive mechanic familiar with wiring could do it for you.
The pass through wires were too short to work with, so I ran wires (switches 1-4) from the relay box through a grommet under the passenger seat to behind the glovebox. I bought 4 female cigarette lighter socket pigtails. There are some points behind the kick plate that can serve as a ground.
I cut a hole in the dash pad, and ran a piece of automotive conduit from there to the glovebox area. I fished the wires through that, keeping the original accessory male cigarette sockets. I left the sockets intact because at least 1 of my accessories had a step down voltage, and can not be wired directly to 12 volts.
