sPOD BantamX HD Accessory Control System for Jeep Wrangler JL / Gladiator JT

sPOD BantamX HD is a high-end auxiliary electrical accessory control system, built for owners of the Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeep Gladiator JT who are looking for a professional solution for controlling LED lights, LED bars, compressors, winches, work lights, radios and other 12 V/24 V loads.

The compact control module uses only one Ethernet cable entering the cab, significantly reducing the amount of wiring and making installation easier.

The system features 8 expandable electrical circuits, controlled by microprocessor-controlled MOSFET transistors instead of traditional relays and fuses. This provides higher reliability, faster response and smart protection functions.

The built-in Bluetooth allows control and configuration via the sPOD app, which offers a rich set of customization and automation functions.

🖥️ HD Control Panel

The kit includes an HD control panel, designed for reliable operation in harsh conditions.
