Much Cheaper than an sPOD!

[@GadgetBiker]

I made one for my FJ Cruiser after watching your older video. Cost me a small fortune, but I'm proud of how it came out.

[@TheYearout]

I love the field of vision comment with that huge crack across the glass.

[@bleepinjeep]

It's a neverending battle

[@TheDanguruss]

@@bleepinjeep Lite-Brite has a window for it on one of their videos

[@mattlewandowski73]

as a note: you can run the wire in through a smaller hole in the plastic if you route the wire through before you crimp it to the fuse holder and terminal. you should finish by sealing each hole with RTV or some similar sealant to keep water out of your fuse panel and relay box. can not say I care much for the strobe effects, but I may have to look into the universal version for my Tacoma. sPods are seriously over price for being an over glorified fuse box and switch bank

[@toboles]

I just installed the Voswitch on my JKU a few days ago. Love it so far. I have my lights, on board water, air, etc and it’s flawless so far

[@j.r.777]

I just ordered and bought my first ever Jeep. A 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. So far I totally love it! I bought my Rubicon with the 4 aux switched from the factory but they are not enough so I am going to have to look into getting one of these for my Rubicon. Thank you for the video! I’m now a new subscriber to the channel.

[@chrissmith7364]

I installed one these bad boys in my JK about 3 months and I've gone Jeepin in mud, rivers and lots of snow and its held up very well! Its nice not using those little red light switches cause after 6 pairs of lights it begins to get messy. For me, it was a very wise investment and parts are good quality.

[@ecranch7331]

Thank you for videos like this. We’d been procrastinating on this one because we weren’t sure on how we wanted to route the wires. We have a different switch pod, but really similar to this one. Never even crossed our minds to run it under the windshield. It’s the little tips like this that make your vids so helpful. Your steer smarts vid for example highlighted a bracket I didn’t know I needed bc it wasn’t mentioned on the website. So thank you for being so detailed.

[@OpenExhaust]

The ball and socket mounts are "RAM MOUNTS", you can find all kinds of accessories on Amazon to extend the mounts out farther. I use these on my UTV to mount Go Pro's, and on my motorcycle for my phone mount (just like you have) and GPS mount. I love them.

[@Issac_G]

[@brianbouchat3890]

Gotta love these great cheaper options! Between this or the homebrew option I can actually set something up. Instead of longingly staring at the expensive stuff lol

[@wylatron]

Matt, you are truly the Mister Rogers of Jeeps. That is in no way an insult, as Mister Rogers showed me the world as a child, you're showing me everything Jeep as an adult:)

[@Maxxis1941]

Very similiar to the flexible, programmable "sticky" pad product that went out of business in '13/'14. Except their product was just the switch pad and not the entire kit iirc. Programmable switches is a slick idea that's got the "cool factor" but can also be very useful. Not a bad price either, especially considering it's a complete plug and play kit. Thanks Matt. I wouldn't have known about this if you hadn't done the install.👍

[@gregorysmith2299]

We installed one in our JL today. Couldn’t be easier. Thanks.

[@themanthelegend7048]

After pulling those plugs and putting the wire through you should rtv the hole to seal it. Those are there to help water sealant.

[@Hudson4426]

Can’t wait to see how it holds up... may be on my short list if it is reliable

[@crashtke]

Seems like that is the key. Every one of these I see has issues in the reviews over time. Some sooner than others.

[@clintlasher8436]

Nice to see an alternative to the sPOD. Thanks for all the great videos

[@bleepinjeep]

I'm sure the spod is great quality but man its soo expensive!

[@clintlasher8436]

BleepinJeep I concur

[@JollyRogerHobbies]

I remember the old one you made. I always imagined making one out of a module controller for a boat (marine application) and just using it for the truck. This looks a lot nicer for a car than a marine one would look. Thanks for the in depth video!

[@socomt5]

Hey bleepin Jeep......do you have your winch connected to your spod? If so how?

[@N8FLY]

Same question...

[@jeremyrobins139]

I’m still running stock lighting on everything on the XJ. Looking to start upgrading and would love to have this!

[@chrisjeep777]

That is very cool and would make a huge difference for me on the added lights and other electrical accessories I have installed in my JL. You have done some great videos that I have used for items on my 03 Rubicon!

[@danielcarney6193]

Installed one of their 6 rocker kits in out F550 Type 6 fire truck to control all the scene lights and emergency lights.... Great product and happy with it so far. and was on $160 for the basic over the mirror 6 rocker kit. Not sure if they have it for the JL but they also have a Pillar POD using the button panel seen in this video.

[@geraldchanit8415]

The sPOD monitors your battery voltage and will shut off everything if it drops below a certain level.

[@robbie552]

why not make use of the built in factory aux switches on the JL? Just wondering what would be compelling to get these instead?

That's so bad ass . Been looking into getting one of these. Great video again Matt , thank you for sharing.

[@nickxedge]

Would be a nice addition to the parts I’ve been stockpiling while trying to find a proper jeep to build.

[@mrethano]

You should set up in and out for your winch in the cab on the momentary setting! Enjoyed the video as always.

[@bleepinjeep]

That would be pretty cool

[@blackdiamondrob]

so every accessory you add...the positive goes into the module BUT the negative goes anywhere you want that is a good ground?? i thot these switch modules regarless of brand had the hookup for the negative alongside the positive inside the same module?

[@leongorani5121]

Any problems overtime with running that wire underneath the windshield like that? I might follow the same steps when I install mine. 😁

[@JT4R__]

I have the voswitch panel and it has like 3 strobe settings while most videos I seen have 5 or 6

[@RebeccaTiffany1]

I only have 1 pre ran aux switch wire in my cargo area. If I have one of these type of s pod controllers then could I have the lights use multiple buttons to control multiple lights without having multiple wires?

[@codyarmstrong3603]

Been looking at these units myself, wondering if a guy could use it for in cab winch controls. One switch for winch power and 2 set as momentary switches for winch in/out

[@jprock73]

I have been an avid Squatcher my whole life. That new JL in panel unit would help me find one for sure!!! 😁🤪

[@zerolimitsoffroad6346]

This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Great video. I buy my electrical connections in bulk, as I put things back together in the wrong order all the time.

[@blackdiamondrob]

so i bought this and love it. im looking to get pod lights with two colors, white and amber. how would i make this work with the voswitch switch module? i know the pod lights come with their own clicky switch which you use to cycle thru the different modes?

[@chuckk458]

I wonder if this would work with the 3.0 option in the JT..

[@20tea]

Made my own, but a lot of work! Relays and fuses sitting in a nice watertight box. Mounted a 6 gang rocker switch on the dash and routed all accessories to it. Rocker switch is engaged by the ignition. There's a feeling of control and accomplishment with doing yourself. If you're on a time constraint or your head gets scrambled thinking about it, then this out of the box option is for you.

[@KM-my9zy]

I have purchased KC 6 Cyclone LED Rock Lights kit. Do you have any tips on connecting all 6 wires into 1? so that I can connect the wire to the VO Switch. According to KC, each wire runs 3 amp making it total of 18 amp. Is it safe to insert the 20 amp fuse to the VO Switch? Any help will be appreciated

[@yesla4tesla]

Does this switch remember if you had your lightbar on once you restart the vehicle. So, I turn on my lightbar, turn off vehicle, come back later and start the truck. Will the light bar remember it was on?

[@bleepinjeep]

Yes it will 👍

Why would you not get the model that goes in the switch pod in the dash made for switches. It's a few dollars less and looks so much cleaner!

Neat solution. Prefer doing my own switchplates with vandals and a relay box, but if I wanted an easier answer, that would be a sweet setup.

It was a pretty simple plug and play install.

[@SecondClassCitizen]

Thank you so much. I bought that same kit for my JK, I haven't installed it yet. I didn't have the option to change it to a JK so I bought the JL kit. Made a few adjustments on the mount

I still have my old repurposed OEM relay center in my XJ for all my aftermarket gear. If I had it to do over I would definitely just buy something like this. Much easier.

[@themanthelegend7048]

I ran mine through the rubber plug on the firewall. If you pull that out and drill a small hole, shove the wire through. Take a thick wire as a snake and shove it down itll pop our of the opening. You'll see what I'm talking about. Then rtv the wire hole after.

do you need to make any changes to the relays or fuses to accommodate accessories that take up different amounts of amperage? ie: can you plug both a locker (takes up max 15amps) or light bar (35amp) into any of the available switches?

[@bleepinjeep]

Yes, just changes the fuses.

[@bleepinjeep]

You could install it on anything... it's just listed for a jl because its setup to mount on the fender. So you may have to mount the box in another location. And that dash insert probably isn't on a jk.

[@johnthibodeaux5189]

So for each item you connect to the control module, you'll have to find a place to put the ground wire of the part? that would look messy after a while. Why doesn't the ground wire hook into the control module like the hot wire?

[@bleepinjeep]

Typically you would ground the accessory near the accessory and just run a single hot wire through the vehicle and to the box. Or you could install a centralized ground block if you wanted.

[@johnthibodeaux5189]

@7:35 did you say there are two batteries in this Jeep?

[@ucruenight]

Is it possible to program a switch slot so that it comes on when the care powers on? For instance the DRLs? My headlights have a separate wire for DRLs that I'm currently running off the heated seats fuse position. I'd like to swap it to the VOSwitch, but I don't want to have to press a button to turn them on every time the car starts.

Yes, if you leave it on, it comes back on when you start.

[@beachdude2489]

so every time you install an accessory you need to wire the grounds to the body and not in the box??

[@brianhummel8659]

beachdude2489 Your chassis is ground. However, it’s recommended that you wire it back to whatever unit/component being installed or the negative battery terminal. Issues ‘can’ arise and if you have a ton of accessories, fridge, solar, compressors, lockers, uhf, ham radio, inverters, usb ports everywhere, switch pods, gauges, etc. troubleshooting can be difficult. Not to mention if the chassis ground, engine ground, and - battery have an issue. Can you use chassis, yes, but go the extra mile.
