sPOD BantamX HD vehicle-specific kit for Ford F150 (’21-on) and Ford F-150 Raptor (’'21-on) has been designed specifically to integrate the sPOD HD panel into your cabin seamlessly while providing a safe place to access all your controls. Designed to replace the in-cab sunglass holder, our plate has been specifically designed at the perfect angle to access switches easily.

The BantamX will save hours of wiring & installation time! It is a small, 8-circuit (expandable) control system that provides a clean (one ethernet cable into the cab!) and safe way to power and control 12/24VDC accessories. Due to the small footprint of the BantamX, the placement options are endless! No cutting, fishing wires into the cab or tapping into the vehicle‘s electrical system. It’s the perfect over-all solution for all your aftermarket electrical accessories with options unmatched by anyone.

HD CONTROL PANEL

  • Encased in an aluminum billet machined housing, powder coated black, utilizing tactile switches encapsulated in silicone.
  • Silicone Buttons with positive touch feedback.
  • Panel is designed to withstand the harshest environments with all weather conditions considered.
  • Compact in size: 2-7/8W x 4-7/8L x 1/2 Thick (smaller than an iPhone).
  • Universal back with two pressed-in 1/4-20 studs x 5/8 inches long for flat mounting.
  • Standard universal articulating mount for a multitude of mounting options.
  • One standard RJ45 jack on the back for communication cable between HD panel and the BantamX. (HD comes with a 10 foot CAT-6 Ethernet cable)
  • HD can be located up to 25 feet from the Source using a standard CAT-6 Ethernet cable.
  • Built-in Bluetooth LE* allows you to program and control our system with iPhones, iPad, iPad Mini using the free sPOD app.
  • Three levels of secured or open Bluetooth pairing/connectivity.
  • Each switch is programmable for dimming, flash, momentary, strobe, and switch linking (program any switch to be a master to control other switches).
  • All 8 switches are backlit.
  • Adjustable timer to turn backlight off and a simple touch on any switch to reactivate.
  • Quickly turn backlight off by holding 2 designated buttons.
  • RGB backlight color and intensity can be changed to any color to match vehicle interior dash lighting.
  • Panel lock-out feature for safety and security.
  • Legends can be applied (comes standard with one sheet of 72 legends).
  • Each switch has 3 status lights: Red (left) = On, White (center) = Flash/Strobe active, Blue (right) = Active visual feedback when button is pushed.
  • Status lights can be dimmed.
  • Additional HD smart controller can be added for different locations.
  • HD can run in conjunction with our Touchscreen, Bluetooth and 8 Switch panel.

Bluetooth Requirements:

  • Access to iTunes or Google Play Store to download the sPOD app
  • Bluetooth 4.0 compatible
  • Compatible with Android devices running 8.0 Oreo (API 26) or later
  • Compatible with iOS 11 or newer, iPhone 7s or newer, iPad 2 or newer, iPad mini
  • Must have existing sPOD system

*The primary reason for the Bluetooth integrated into the HD panel is for programming purposes, and not for remote control due to the limited range. HD housings are precision-machined billet aluminum which contributes to the distance limitations. Ranges may vary from 5 feet up to 15 feet depending on the location of the HD, the surroundings, phone type, phone cover, and many other variables.
