TPMS - aftermarket recommendations - Schrader?

I'm looking for a tire pressure monitoring system with digital readout, mostly for my track days. There seems to be two styles, one using caps that go on the existing stems and the other using OEM style sensors that are installed inside each wheel (e.g. this one on Amazon: Shrader on Amazon).

Anyone using an aftemarket TPMS? Thoughts or recommendations?

I understand the standard VW TPMS system just uses the ABS wheel speed sensors and alerts the driver if a wheel's rotation changes enough vs others.

Thanks,
Bern

Jim, I don't see how that works. The TPMS antenna module shown in the listing (5Q0907273B) is for the Tiguan. No existing coding in the GTI to show actual pressure per tire even if it had a signal.

I don't remember who it was but someone else in the forum got for a GTI but had to have it coded.
