Aux Switch Panel Placement

[Hammer757]

I'm trying to decide between trigger controller, Switch Pros, StechSwitch, and S-Pod. However, I was hoping to see some pictures of the panels mounted in different rigs to get some ideas on what look I might like. So let's see some pictures. I wish the PW had the built-in aux switches to get you started.

No pics from my truck but I'm leaning towards getting one of these kits. Clean and is basically factory

There is already a thread for this in the 4th gen section

There is a Uplifter switch option that hardly anybody gets. Mine was not optioned with one though it was on the list. Switch Pro is my first choice but I had a rough country Pod from my last build so I have installed it to run my lights for now.

Is that a natural spot to locate the switches?

That does have a nice factory look.

I do like the Switch Pro, leaning that way (well until I saw that OEM look above). I do have the VSIM just not really sure how to use it, as it seems to tie into functions. Thinking I might be able to use it to make an air horn go off instead of the regular horn. Still researching that some.

I found that with out a center console like my last two trucks, my options in the PW are a little more limited to stay within reach. Super easy to install in this spot for sure. My last truck i installed it right where the four-wheel-drive shifter is on our trucks. (Side of the center console)

The OEM is preferable to me as well. mine will run up to 30 amps per switch and my onboard compressor pulls 22 amps having the most draw out of all my devices.

nice setup and the price is right

I went with the Spod since the 4th gen electronics wasn't available at the time. I do like the factory look, but I think my Spod looks good, and a great way to power up accessories.

I went with spod and an AEV switch mount.

any placement ideas from people with the new 12 inch screen on the 2019?

That's because it is factory. Why anybody would install anything else now that this is available is beyond me. When I get home I will take a picture of the underhood box.

not an option for 19. I have a thread that I started with this approach last year and ended with an aftermarket pod

I need to figure that out as well.

Got it...

Current set up. Glad to have it back in place after taking the console out.

next project attempt is the ARB outback overhead console. Then I can mount my radio and this PA AUC controller in it.

I went with the factory switch panel from 4thgenram. It's great and keeps the factory look with no extra panels to mount in the cab. It might be worth contacting 4thgenram, to see if they could make a similar panel for the 5th gen Rams. Since there is a panel you can install.
