Complete Guide to SwitchPros SP9100 Install | Toyota Tundra

[@rumaldolopez5308]

Thank You!! Bought the switchpro 9100, and starting going down the rabbit hole of buying the other stuff. But like you, I saw that from the manufacturer it says you don't need that other stuff. Just want to make sure. Thanks for putting out a video!

[@hillsideheathen5267]

Yes. Thank you for this. No other video showed how to actually wire in the accessories. Very helpful, easy to follow, nicely done!!

[@thepokerpilotapp]

Best switch pro advice on here and I’ve watched them all. Thanks! Love the A pillar install idea. I’m going to do that now.

[@lnaesll]

Bro this was the most thorough guide to this thing I’ve ever seen. I’m picking up the switch pro this weekend and while I already had a good idea of how I was going to do it I learned a bunch of things I didn’t think of in your video. Thanks for posting this bro. You’re getting a like and subscribe from me just for that!

[@andrewtraylor]

Haha thanks dude! Glad it was helpful. I mostly just try to make videos that I wish I had or would have found informative before I started my install.

[@lnaesll]

@@andrewtraylor finished the install last night. Went smooth. Also installed some ridged d-ss pro lights. The hardest thing I found is deciding how long to keep the wires I’m not using and still being able to tuck them away to be hidden.

SUPER Impressed by FREE power modules

[@ultratacoma4213]

Thank you so much for this video! I was honestly a bit intimidated by a lot of the other Tacoma guys using fuse blocks, bus bars, etc since I read SwitchPros forbids it and recommends against it, so this was super helpful and reassuring.

[@rogerramirez227]

This is by far the best install video....thank you for explaining that we don't need all the other stuff everybody is using. I agree with you and that's why I bought this, so I don't have to install all that other crap . Thank God I found your video, I was getting ready to order everything else lol. Thank you again.

[@OEF5Outlaw]

Iknow the video is 2 years old, but like everyone else has stated, this is the best information for this unit on KZbin. SDHQ has also stepped up the mounting option game for the switch, they sell full kits now for your vehicle with everything included for mounting, the plate you got, inside options. Everything you need. I've watched this video about 3 times and am going to order the 9100 for a 2018 tundra with the new overhead mount. I was going to order all the seperate parts, but I found the whole kit. I too will be buying the battery terminals as they do look clean and give better options. How have they stood up to your use in the two years now?

[@plexguy]

I have never installed the switch pros panel on trucks, only on rally cars but damn this guy knows exactly whats he's doing. everyone who wants to do this on their truck. This is the video for you

[@joshuaburney]

Great video. I noticed the same thing you did. A lot of people running a ton of extra stuff when it's not needed. That happens a lot online when people just copy what the first guy does. The solid state build is one of the primary reasons to choose the Switch Pro. For me it also came down to size. Everything included in the box is quite a bit smaller than competing products which will lead to a cleaner set-up (the whole reason to buy something like this; less wires everywhere!) Yes it's up there in price but...Buy once, cry once! 🤑

[@nathanbennett9025]

I was just trying to wire up my Day time running lights. Now I'm deep into the KZbin world and about to spend $600 on this product. Great video btw

[@andrewtraylor]

Haha welcome to the club bro 😂

[@waxifari5528]

Best switch pro walkthrough I’ve seen. Thanks.

[@JGr3asy]

Andrew, thanks a ton dude. This was awesome a year and a half later. You're tha man.

[@andrewtraylor]

Glad it was helpful! Cheers man.

[@recreationalplutonium]

Thanks man. I didn't buy the SwitchPros because I thought you would need to add terminal bars, relais and all that other shit because I read through forum posts. Now I know better! After dealing with my low cost AuxBeam switch panel I'd love the simplicity of the SwitchPros. Just solder the + wire and done.

[@andrewtraylor]

Exactly. I don't understand why people want to make it more complicated.

[@ATown5.0]

Aye man just wanted to say I appreciated the video ! Very detailed and accurate unlike most who Just run through the install ! Thanks !

[@andrewtraylor]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@chrischambless]

Great explanation. Loved you in Man of Steel BTW.

[@InterloperGarage]

Great video! Now I’m not worried about tackling this by myself.

[@M40kc]

Dude, awesome video! You gained a subscriber

[@biggusbestus551]

Very great instructional run through . Soon as I find a paper clip I will get to work !

[@zjenji]

Gotta imagine it drives the Switch Pros dudes crazy to see all those aftermarket elaborate tray setups. For one thing it probably discourages some people from buying the SP9100 because it seems difficult to install and has so many additional components and failure points. And for another, it defeats all the features that make the SP9100 so great (sealed, waterproof, simple, etc.). Anyway, great job on your install, and doing it the way it was designed for.

[@mlars129]

Thanks for a thorough walk through! I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but it seems like a few of the clip segments in the video were out of order. It was easy to follow either way, thanks again man!

[@andrewtraylor]

Oh damn! Yeah, I did the install over the course of a few days and had a bunch of clips so a few might be out of order. Glad you were able to still follow along.

[@stevemcgavren7645]

Very well done. I can't imagine the 12 circuit model would be any different but I thought I'd ask anyway.

[@lararouaud-by9xb]

Great video, very clear, thank you!

[@the.lowroad]

This is so helpful - I've watched all the videos you've referred to and it seemed overly complicated and turned me off to the Swtich Pros stuff - definitely re-considering it now

[@andrewtraylor]

Nice! Glad it’s helpful.

[@haydendillon-lloyd9304]

Fantastic video I’m convinced this is what I need now thanks for all the installation advice

[@supayota7265]

Thanks for all the information! I believe I'm able to install my new lights because of this instructional video! Keep up the great content!

[@lancemartin1153]

That switch is expensive but seems worth it if you have a few accessories. Great design and makes it easy to wire everything up safely.

[@andrewtraylor]

Agreed! I think if you have 3 accessories or less, it's not worth the cost. But over 3 and the wiring starts to get really messy. The danger is if you get the SwitchPros, there are 6 buttons on the controller and having half of them blank looks weird. So it kind of encourages you to get more accessories...

[@allankelley176]

Best video on this install. Thank you!

[@bugoutfozzy]

So incredibly helpful. Thank you. Never done this before and this gives me A LOT more confidence.

[@deel.4982]

Thanks for the video, really helpful.

[@Spinalcell]

Great walk through damn. Granted I’ve got a different truck but ty. Yes our PNW needs the xtra shrink wrap!!

[@Annie-zf7xi]

Wow, excellent video,great job explaining all the steps and why.👍😀👏👏👏👏👏

[@deel.4982]

Are you able to turn on your lights when your car is off? Good for camping and overlanding.. I'm assuming to make this possible, power can't be tied to your ignition but rather what?

[@ClarsonCarson]

Does this support lights with dual function (kc hilites flex era)?

[@robbyducati]

When you remove the splash guard to install the Pro, did you put it back after installing the clips or are you keeping it permanently removed? Thanks for the great Vid, I liked and subbed and clicked that bell!

[@andrewtraylor]

I did put the splash guard back, but it wasn't in the best shape. A couple of the holes for the plastic clips had torn through but it's better than nothing.

[@greg.ocallaghan]

Can you connect different lights to different switches, but then somehow also have a switch that turns them all on or all off at the same time?

[@alanjones511]

Great. Thanks. Does the unit have to be wired to the main battery or can it work direct from an auxiliary second battery ?

[@andrewtraylor]

It's recommended to wire it to the main battery. Might work off an aux battery but if you have the option, I'd go main. Probably wouldn't be too hard to test before permanently mounting everything.

[@Didewro]

Excellent video....now im wondering what all the bars, etc are for in the power-tray kit i purchased?

[@andrewtraylor]

In my opinion, not needed. Kinda defeats the purpose of the SwitchPros: to keep everything sealed and no exposed metal. But... it can be a nice way to do something with all the wires from the 16-pin connector if you don't have all your accessories ready to wire up. I just coiled up the wires I wasn't using and zip tied them off to the side until I'm ready to add more accessories.

[@greg.ocallaghan]

How many BD lights could you run off one switch, wired the same way as you did?

[@andrewtraylor]

Depends on how many amps each light is rated at. The switch pros has four 35A and four 20A switches. So you should be able to link quite a few lights on one switch as long as the total amps stays under 35A, using one of the 35A switches.

[@k2line706]

Great video. Thank you!

[@fredA1234]

Great video very helpful.Funny thing at the end of your video you say please hit the dislike button and never subscribe to the channel. Is that what you actually meant to say?

[@andrewtraylor]

I was just joking. I see so many videos begging people to like and subscribe I thought I'd do the opposite. Ha! Subscribe if you want and if it's useful.

[@fredA1234]

😂 that’s what I thought. Just figured I’d ask. But I did subscribe because you’re so detailed in your videos. I have a Dodge Ram but no matter. Thanks again

[@ehsoule]

Instead of trying to push the fat end of the harness from the passenger compartment through the firewall and de-pinning, wouldn’t it be easier to push the skinny end of the harness from the engine bay through the firewall in opposite direction?

[@andrewtraylor]

You might be able to do that if your firewall grommet had a hole big enough to fit that side through (or you make a hole big enough). The nipple that I cut off to push the cable through was pretty small and even with only wires it was a tight fit. But if you could make that work it would definitely be easier than de-pinning.

[@officialWWM]

The Auxbeam unit is just as good for a third of the price!

[@phillyb4588]

Where your negative wires from lights etc at

[@andrewtraylor]

You can ground the negative wires from lights to a frame ground. Start watching at 24:45 to see this for the ditch lights.

[@alsantos5518]

Good Job.. thanks for doing this

[@tonydijock151]

My fuses are different size how can I use fuse tap then

[@tonydijock151]

I’ve got a xtreme terrain light bar that’s amabee n White two function has two switches do I just wire each switch to each switch wire readout on switchboard map ?

[@andrewtraylor]

Yeah, my baja designs S8 has the same thing. The whole thing will illuminate as white, and there's another wire that can be used to turn on 3 amber mini lights within the light bar itself. I wired those functions to separate switches so I can control each individually.

[@mikeholbert1958]

Great video.

[@SuperRastamon420]

What do you do with all the unused wires? Is there any residual voltage running through them? If nothing is attached to that switch and the switch is accidentally pressed, can’t it short out?

[@andrewtraylor]

I had enough accessories ready to wire that I only ended up with 2 unused switches (and wires). I rolled them up and zip tied them out of the way, next to the power module. If you turned those switches "on", yes those wires would have power running to them. If they shorted for some reason, the SwitchPros would disable that particular switch. Since there is nothing powered by that switch it doesn't matter and operation of the other switches would be unaffected.

[@SuperRastamon420]

@@andrewtraylor Right on thanks for your video again. Very helpful, I installed my switch pro in my 2500 power wagon this weekend. For the accessories I didn’t use, i just heat shrunk the switches (paired & singles )

[@andrewtraylor]

@@SuperRastamon420 Nice! Great idea. I might do that too.

Smith rock!!

[@JustMe619toby]

Do you have all the info for the mount you used from 67 designs. I want to now mount mine just like you did. Ohh will need the gromet info also. Thanks

[@andrewtraylor]

Here's the A pillar mount: www.67d.com/products/toyota-a-pillar-adapter Then I just got the SP9100 mount and a nano sized arm. Grommet size is at 12:00 and you should be able to find them at most hardware stores.

[@JustMe619toby]

@@andrewtraylor awesome thank you I wasn't able to find the site on phone at the time for some reason but popped up on work computer. I'll have to see if it would work with the Amazon switch I bought. Thank you

[@grayiswhoiam]

@@andrewtraylor Do you have a link to the SP9100 mount which includes the ball mount to attach to the 67 Designs A pillar mount?

@@grayiswhoiam this is the mount I got: www.67d.com/products/switchpro-sp9100-switch-panel-holder

[@firegrunt03]

Cleanest one I’ve seen yet. Do you think this behind the headlight mount will interfere if A dual battery is hooked up? Ty

[@andrewtraylor]

I don’t think it would interfere but all the wiring might be pretty tight.

[@khill1101]

Stop and appreciate 18:17 lol

[@andrewtraylor]

Bahaha sharp ears!

[@khill1101]

I appreciate your full video for it's content. I'm just childish and somewhat retarded lol

[@MarcusMussawar]

love your video but it is a really bad idea to mount anything on top of an airbag that explodes at hundreds of miles an hour

[@andrewtraylor]

Good point! If that airbag pops the switch controller could definitely do some damage to your face. Worthwhile consideration for anyone thinking about mounting it on the A pillar.

[@MarcusMussawar]

@@andrewtraylor not only that but it could pop the airbag before it can save your face from the piller

[@MarcusMussawar]

but really great video defantly super helpful and easy to follow and entertaining

[@andrewtraylor]

@@MarcusMussawar After doing a bit of research and watching a bunch of videos of curtain airbags deploying, I'm not super worried. Curtain airbags deploy straight down against the window to protect from side impacts and roll overs. And in most of the videos I've seen, they come out from the bottom side of the A-pillar trim, so I don't think airbag deployment would explode the trim and switch mount into your face, especially if the mount is located near the bottom of the plastic trim piece. So I don't think it's a huge danger, but in a bad crash anything could happen and it could possibly make things worse having the switch mounted on the A-pillar. I probably won't move my controller but for anybody else, mounting within the dash or center console would probably be safer.

[@xxkaiserxx2505]

I have the Garmin I think is way better because is Bluetooth

[@eastwindfarms3671]

👍

[@tonydijock151]

That fuse tap was too quick I didn’t understand

[@andrewtraylor]

There's a million videos on how to use fuse taps. And most will come with instructions anyway. I'm sure you'll figure it out!
