This is next level right here.

Not sure if the owner is on here, but damn that is a clean sPod install!

 

I concur, clean install!

 

That is awesome! Great location for the SE touchscreen.

 

Forgive my ignorance. What is it?

I like the switchboard. Seems really cool, but I may be falling for the advertisement. Not really a fan of the touchscreen, but that's just me. Kind of seems like a really expensive solution to a cheap problem.

 

I would go with the standard switch panel personally because I like switches. The touch option is clean though.

 

It actually solves a few problems;
1) Newer vehicle interior designs are making it harder to find placement for multiple switches(and look ascetically pleasing)
2) You are not running high current wires throughout your interior(regular toggle switches intercept the main power VS this system which is a low current signal that activates a higher current relay some where else; usually in the engine bay)
3)Programming! IIRC you can program a button to pulse/latch/momentary. This cannot be done with a conventional "switch"
4)Expansion; So you add some more lights..Run the power wire to the relay center in the engine bay, program a new "button" on the touch screen. Or fish wires all through the interior VS drill a new hole for a switch, etc.
5)Would you want this: REALLY?




Overall, it's an awesome idea. I just don't have enough accessories to make it worth while

 

Clean install
Not sure if I'd take this over switches, there's a good feeling of turning lights on/off by a switch than a touch screen.
either way, clean install

 

^ I agree on the skepticism of one little touchscreen controlling the entire system. If that fails..the whole thing is DOA. But what isn't these days. (touch screen radio, phone, etc)

IMO, I'd rather have a tactile dedicated micro rocker switch that operates each relay individually.

 

Having it on the roof while wheeling in the desert would be a good test for the choice location for an expensive toy. Placing something like this to see if the roof is a place for electronics...

 

For those that don't like the touch screen you could always look at switch-pros.

 

106?! My interior heats up hotter than that in the summer. Maybe that is just the internal temp of screen..

 

It's an example...not the actual gizmo....

 

OK. I feel dumb now. thanks
