    X2. I want in on one also. I also got the kit but still haven't installed it yet because I have no clue where I want it. So it would be great to see where y'all be installing it to get some ideas.

    I'd be very into a bezel, myself. I grabbed one on AutoAnything (it just shipped) and have been wanting mine in the sunglasses pocket of my '12, but haven't taken a look at how to make it so it won't pop open every time I hit a switch.

    You can have a button do different functions depending how you press it. Typical on/off, momentary, strobe or link to an "all on" for whatever outputs you preselect. It's really quite configurable.

    I'm looking forward to getting it installed too. Just don't want to rush the install and have it look like a wart on the dash. The underwood should be easy. I'll post pics along to way. I'll also be wrapping up my ACR install when I put the SwitchPros in.

    Thanks for seeing what you can do with a bezel for the controller. That may make all the difference!!!

    yeah I've been eyeing these for a while now. If they are able to do what I'm looking for.. ill snag one for sure! Might need to reach out to them or get the manual somewhere.

    My main thing now is trying to think through how to run all my ground wires in a way that will keep everything clean. Was looking at a Blue Sea post with multiple screw-ends, but I might just end up crimping rings to everything and keeping a post clean.

    just run them to the nearest ground. no need to run long ground wires all the way back to the engine bay.

    just sent SwitchPro an email with my questions..

    Well.. I am in need of 3 pole switches.. I will be running LED pods that require them. currently, my only option are rocker switches, and to get what I'm trying to go for (individually controlled LEDs in the switch, constant emblem "on", etc) its turning into a bigger project than expected.

    The switchpro.. IF it could be programmed as a 3 position.. would make my life SOOOOOOO much easier. they would do what i want right out of the box in a small slim and clean design!

    You could wait until the next 20% off sale and get it even cheaper. I paid 383 shipped for mine.

    Gotcha. You can do it with two outputs and a relay (even solidstate) but that kind of defeats the purpose of this streamlined package.

    It would be cool if they could add that functionality via a Bluetooth firmware update!

    Good to know! Thanks

    Exactly... Thats what I started getting into with the rockers.. Relays, more wire, less room, etc.

    I wonder if they could chnage the programming on their end? I can't imagine these things are mass produced to the point that they have no hands on with them. One off custom programmed?? :D high hopes I know..

    I think it is a pretty small company. The owner is an engineer or something and they have their own in-house cad/cam. Not sure about the electronics and logic programming. @Moose1988

    Appreciate the input man. We shall see. Sent them an email explaining everything and asking if they could reprogram it. It can do it obviously.. I just dont want the flash or strobe.. Just a second constant on.. I dont think it would be that difficult to change from a flash to solid on. But who knows..
