    I was a Tacoma guy, family got bigger, converted to a 4Runner.
    I just ordered the Baja Rack Util Spy rack and will be ordering the 8100 in a few days. Been nice reading all your info.
    Thanks for the input

    yes, I have done the mods
    yep, amber or red! Really, their next-gen keypad coul have color-selectable LED backlighting. Color could be chosen in the app. Would add $ to unit cost - but no technical reason that couldn't happen.

    I went to AutoAnything and signed up for their 20% off coupon. I was a little disappointed to find out it doesn't apply to the SP8100, even though it isn't listed on their exceptions list.

    @XPOTRPR - Have you been able to test fit a concealed version yet?

    I may just wait and see if they end up doing the background in something other than green. I saw the blue one in the thread, but the website only says green back-lighting. I would love blue or cool white. But I also want to knock out my lighting this month.

    I thought people had purchased the 8100 through AutoAnything and received the discount?

    I read that they did, but their website wouldn't accept my coupon for it. I'll try again tomorrow if I get the chance.

    Not to slow your purchase, but I just got an email from Switch Pro saying they will have red and blue led backlights now. You just have to specify which you want.
    Only problem is that you probably have to purchase those through SP, vs AA with the discount

    Food for thought

    Autoanything no longer discounts Switchpros as they were violating Switchpros MAP policy, and SP made them stop.

    As far as lighting colors, I know for sure they will be doing the blue to match our trucks. I know this because I have one. You can order directly from them, and it will be available in both versions.

    Good to know, thanks!

    If you want, I can order one and drop it off on my way through after Xmas if you want to play with it for your mounting brackets.

    Interesting. That makes sense, but I am surprised AA hasn't updated their list. I have no problem ordering from SP direct, but I would prefer to find a coupon or wait for a sale. *hint hint if anyone knows anything* :D

    Ya I'm surprised too. I asked about coupons and sales, but they said they never discount as they manufacture.

    I failed to read the thread in its entirety, only went about half way through. Went on AutoAnything (AA) and tried to use a promotion code, they had during the holidays ("joy20" for 20% discount). However, it didn't take. I went ahead and ordered it anyway. I figured reading on how AA has excellent customer service, they would be able to reimburse/refund the discount. I assumed AA would be able to fix the problem with their system, and wanted to have the Switch Pros SP8100 in-hand as soon as possible before my pallet of parts that were expected to arrive later on in the week.

    Unfortunately, AA does not have their list updated. Switch Pros is in fact a restricted, non-promotional manufacturer. No more discounts.

    However, since AA does not have Switch Pros on their Manufacturer's Exclusions list and you may be able to talk them into a 10% discount if you are one with the force and the force is with you. Better than nothing, until they update their list.
