Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The sPOD BantamX HD Kit (SKU BXHDUNI36) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state power management system with the RGB backlit HD silicone-button panel and 36-inch battery cables — for trucks, SUVs, UTVs, overland rigs, and custom builds where the module mounts close to the battery and no vehicle-specific BantamX kit exists for the platform. Precision-machined billet aluminum HD panel with tactile silicone buttons, adjustable RGB backlight, and a single RJ45 jack connecting to the BantamX module via 10-foot CAT-6 cable. No wires cut, no factory circuits tapped. Operates on 12V or 24V DC. Expandable to 32 circuits.
If your module will mount more than 3 feet from the battery, order BXHDUNI84 (84-inch cables) instead.

36-Inch vs. 84-Inch — Choose Before Ordering
| Cable Length | SKU | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 36 inches — BXHDUNI36 (this listing) | Module mounting within 3 feet of battery — UTV engine bays, compact setups, near-battery positions | |
| 84 inches — BXHDUNI84 | Module mounting more than 3 feet from battery — full-size trucks, van builds, overland rigs, remote battery locations |
Measure your routing path from the battery to the planned module location before ordering. If it exceeds 3 feet, order BXHDUNI84.

Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Module mounting more than 3 feet from battery | Order BXHDUNI84 (84-inch cables) instead |
| Builds requiring more than 8 circuits | BantamX expandable to 32 via add-on units — order BXUNI36ADD |
| sPOD SourceLT systems | SourceLT is a separate 6-circuit system. Not compatible with BantamX expansion. |
| Using Bluetooth as a remote control | Bluetooth on HD panel is for programming only — 5–15 ft range. Use the sPOD app on your phone for broader remote control capability. |
| Winches and high-draw recovery motors | 30A max per circuit sustained. Wire winches direct to battery through a dedicated relay. |
| High-amp solenoids on the same battery post | Isolate the BantamX battery connection from any high-amp relay or solenoid. |
Common Questions
How do I confirm 36-inch cables are sufficient? Measure the actual routing path from the battery to the planned module location — not straight-line distance. Route the tape measure through the same path the cable will take: through firewall openings, along routing channels, to the mount point. If it exceeds 3 feet, order BXHDUNI84. A cable that falls short mid-install requires a return.
HD panel vs. Modular panel — which is right for my build? Different switch technology and housing. The HD uses silicone tactile buttons with adjustable RGB backlight in a billet aluminum housing — operable by feel in the dark, any color you choose. The Modular uses Carling Contura IP66/68-rated rocker switches in a welded aluminum housing with fixed LED color options. Same BantamX module, same 8 circuits, same expandability. If LED color specificity for night vision matters, the Modular lineup is more targeted. If RGB flexibility and tactile button operation are the priority, the HD is the right call.
Can I run the HD panel alongside a touchscreen or other sPOD controller? Yes. The HD panel runs in conjunction with the sPOD Touchscreen, Bluetooth, and 8-switch panels simultaneously. All control interfaces operate the same 8 circuits on the BantamX module.
Can I expand beyond 8 circuits later? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels via BantamX add-on modules. Order BXUNI36ADD for near-battery add-on placement.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX HD Kit (BXHDUNI36) is for the builder running a compact mounting layout — module close to the battery, clean short cable routing — who wants 8 circuits of fuse-free accessory power behind a tactile RGB backlit HD panel. Any color, operable by feel, billet aluminum housing, expandable to 32 circuits.
Measure your battery cable routing path before ordering. If it exceeds 3 feet, order BXHDUNI84. If it is within 3 feet and the HD silicone-button panel is the right interface for the build, this is your kit.
