Tire mounted sensors have controlled orientation with respect to a direction of vehicle travel when fitted to a tire of the vehicle. The tire mounted sensor includes a sensor housing containing a pressure and/or other type of sensor and electronic components which is inserted into a sensor mount attached to the tire. Controlling the orientation of the orientation-sensitive components relative to the direction of travel of the vehicle is achieved by indicating the direction of travel of the vehicle on the sensor mount. Controlling the orientation of the sensor housing within the sensor mount, preferably in all six axes of freedom, is achieved by an orientation key or asymmetrical feature on the sensor mount that corresponds to a mating feature on the sensor housing.

A single antenna tire pressure detection system and a method for operating the same includes a detection end and a receiving end. The detection end detects the tire pressure through tire pressure detectors to obtain tire condition information. The tire pressure detectors provides two types of signal output modes which are radio frequency (RF) signals and short-distance RF signals. These signals are transmitted not only to the original in-vehicle tire pressure receiving device but also displayed on the in-car entertainment system and the user's mobile device, showing tire condition information.
