I get those die hard S-Pod folks out there. I could not see myself spending 400.00 on switch pods and I am glad I stumbled upon these. I was worried that the quality would not be there but the quality is excellent! The ONLY issue I have with these and that is one I can overcome myself is that the unit that goes under the hood is held on by two fender bolts only and so the unit does bounce a bit. But the unit is great quality! All metal construction with a real circuit board inside that looks of great quality. Out of curiosity I went on their website and even if that circuit board were to go bad which I am not expecting you can even buy a replacement for 35.00 which is epic. Don't get me wrong I understand the Research and Development on this type of item and so I get they can not give them away but for the price this unit is very nice as opposed to spending the 400.00 on an S-POD system. You get a few configuration options whether you want this to turn on via your accessory from your ignition or whether you want to turn it on by the touch switch (default) which BTW works very well. Even the dimming by holding the button works well. I was thoroughly impressed with the build quality of this device. I am a self proclaimed electronics engineer (yes went to school for it) but settled in an IT position for work and I have to say that this product was well thought out and executed. I could not be happier with my purchase other than I would like to have access to other switch covers. I purchased a few on Amazon hoping to just pop in but they are slightly different so the light does not shine through the same and the switches are a slightly different style but hard to tell except for the lighting. I needed a pretty standard one "Fog Lights" and a semi non standard "Whip Lights" so if anyone knows of a place to get some that match the ones in this product please let me know. The seller has yet to respond to my request.

So for the technical portion now...

The switch pod simply slides over the footman loop and while it does have some double sided tape you can secure the back of it to the overhead pillar you can also use the two screw holes to secure it with small screws for those hard core offroad guys.

The wiring is simply. The switch pod itself has a single loom of wire that is a one connector connection to the overhead switch pod. Then you simply connect the large power and gound wires to your battery and the rest is simply relay contacts on a very well laid out circuit board. The numbering does go from the top down so pay attention to the silkscreen on the circuit board.

One side note is you do not have to use the ground wiring on the circuit board. If you are wiring a device at the rear of your vehicle simply run a single power wire to the positive terminal on the relay box terminal and ground your device at the rear of your vehicle to a ground there instead of running two wires. If you have a ground sensitive device then you can run the ground and power wires together but the only terminal that the relay actually controls is the positive wire and the ground plane is all tied together on the circuit board.

There is a "fuse" you can move and run a wire to your ignition accessory or if you only have lights hooked up to the switch you could hook it up to your dash lights and have it come on with your dash lights as well. This would be a strange case but is possible.

One of the cool features is the automatic shut off below a certain voltage. I have not tested this yet but will with lab equipment to see that it does shut off and turn back on at the stated voltages which was again a really nice touch for this product. I could see this saving people who fall asleep with their camp lights on that are attached to this pod.

I thought 8 switches would be overkill for me but turns out it was not. I am using each and ever one of the switches and honestly could use one more but it works exactly as expected and I am very happy with the purchase.

Haters gonna hate of course. Those die hard S-POD guys will always bag on this product but coming from an electronics background I can assure you this device is built well and will last a long time.

One thing I have not done but will do so this weekend and update this review is do some real world testing on how much power the switch pod draws with the unit on but no switches on. So basically the unit would be on and the lights would be lit (all LED lights) and see what the power draw is. My guess is it will be very low and if you left the switch pod on for days it would still not drain your battery.

So this weekends todo list which I will report on in this review next week.

Test the cut off voltage.
Test the voltage that restores power to it.
Test the power draw with the unit on but no switches in the on position. (So unit lit up only)

My overall rating is 4 1/2 stars. Subtracting 1/4 for the lack of support in the engine bay which would most likely be just fine for most people anyway. Its not bad but could bounce under heavy offroading. 1/4 star for the lack of switch covers. Yes it comes with 15 but what about the ones it does not come with? Custom service or links to more switch plates compatible with this unit.

My normal thought would be to round down to 4 stars but I just can't get myself to do that. It is a quality product and much higher quality then I expected to be honest. So before my weekend testing I am going to round up. Also if I do not get a response from the seller before I update my review next week after my testing even if the testing comes out as planned I will lower it to 4 stars (rounding down) from the lack of response from the seller about additional switch covers.

Had this in red for about 5 months now. Great panel! I was lucky enough to get it in red when it was in stock, and had virtually no knowledge of wiring or installing electronic accessories at time of purchase. Everything you need to know can be learned in the supplied information and via online resources fairly easily.

I currently have 5 accessories hooked up to it (roof bar, spots, side/rocks, DRLs and CB) and it has no issue powering all of them at once. Construction is very sturdy, design is fantastic and the relay box is fantastic, the capacitive master switch responds perfectly and each rocker gives a satisfying mechanical click on/off.

So far my Jeep has been through a 3200mi winter road trip through Zion, Moab, up to the highest elevation town in the US in CO, back through the Grand Canyon, through -15 degree to +115 degree weather, along with OHV trails in SoCal and multiple pressure washes with absolutely no panel issues or hardware loosening.

Customer service is 10/10 - I was having an issue with the 8th switch not providing power from the relay box and Voswitch responded with a solution the same evening. Turned out the associated pin in the master power coupling was bent and I was able to easily straighten it with the tip of the circuit tester I was using.

Please note that you'll need some sort of negative bank to ground each accessory since the relay box only includes positive connections, and top/rear of the switch panel itself is open so if you drive with no top or a worn out soft-top you may need to provide a weatherproofing solution.

10/10 product and 10/10 customer service.

We have had thus installed for over a year now. Has worked great with using 4 of the switches currently. The only issue I have had was about 4 months in I lost one of the switch lights. It went out one night and has not worked since. I haven't tried to take it back apart to see what the issue is, everything else works flawlessly.

Install was easy enough. Colored instructions and actually included a fuse tap. The length of time on the install depends only on how refined you want your wiring and sealing up any passages through the firewall you choose. I like it better than the mlc-6 rough country offers (sorry rough country, I really like your products though.)

So this is the second one I've purchased and they have improved from 4 years ago with things I had concerns about such as sealing the main box under the hood and the ability to wire into the ignition so unit shuts down when key is off. Over all great product I would recommend it to anyone.
