A carrier device for securing an accessory to a vehicle is provided. The carrier device includes a support frame and a first suction cup. The first suction cup includes a suction cup housing defining a suction chamber, a vacuum pump configured to selectively adjust the pressure within the suction chamber to couple the first suction cup to a vehicle, and a first pressure sensor positioned within the suction cup housing to detect suction chamber pressure information. The first suction cup may further includes an electrical line coupled to the first pressure sensor to transmit suction chamber pressure information to a location outside of the first suction cup, and an integrally molded housing formed around the electrical line to prevent pressure loss within the suction chamber. The first suction cup may include a short range wireless module positioned within the suction cup housing and coupled to the first pressure sensor to selectively pair the first pressure sensor to a nearby electronic device to transmit the suction chamber pressure information to a location outside of the first suction cup.
