Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The sPOD BantamX HD Kit (SKU BXTSBUNI36) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state power management system with the HD switch 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. The BantamX module and HD panel mount wherever the build requires. Single CAT-6 cable between both. 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 BXTSBUNI84 (84-inch cables) instead.

36-Inch vs. 84-Inch — Choose Before Ordering
| Cable Length | SKU | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 36 inches — BXTSBUNI36 (this listing) | Module mounting within 3 feet of battery — UTV engine bays, compact setups, near-battery module positions | |
| 84 inches — BXTSBUNI84 | 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 BXTSBUNI84.
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Module mounting more than 3 feet from battery | Order BXTSBUNI84 (84-inch cables) instead |
| Builds requiring more than 8 circuits | BantamX is expandable to 32 circuits via add-on units — order BXUNI36ADD or BXUNI84ADD |
| sPOD SourceLT systems | SourceLT is a separate 6-circuit system. Not compatible with BantamX expansion. |
| Winches and high-draw recovery motors | 30A max per circuit. Wire winches direct to battery through a dedicated relay. |
| Any accessory requiring more than 30A per circuit | 30A hard ceiling per circuit. High-draw devices require direct battery wiring outside this system. |
| 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 the path exceeds 3 feet, order BXTSBUNI84. A cable that falls short mid-install requires a return.
Does the Bluetooth work as a remote control? For programming only. The billet aluminum HD panel housing limits Bluetooth range to 5–15 feet. Use Bluetooth to program dimming levels, strobe patterns, momentary behavior, and switch linking. For everyday circuit activation, use the physical HD switches.
Can I expand beyond 8 circuits? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels by adding BantamX add-on modules (BXUNI36ADD or BXUNI84ADD). Up to 4 BantamX units can be daisy-chained, controlled by one touchscreen.
Why choose the universal kit over a vehicle-specific BantamX kit? When no vehicle-specific kit exists for your platform, or when you want complete control over both module and panel mounting positions. Vehicle-specific kits include platform-matched mounting hardware and pre-routed harness positions — the universal kit gives you the same system with mounting flexibility on your terms.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX HD Kit (BXTSBUNI36) is for the builder running a compact mounting layout — module close to the battery, clean short cable routing — who needs 8 circuits of fuse-free accessory power with an RGB backlit HD panel on a platform without a vehicle-specific kit. Same BantamX system, same expandability to 32 circuits, in universal hardware with 36-inch cables for tight installations.
Measure your battery cable routing path before ordering. If it exceeds 3 feet, order BXTSBUNI84. If it is within 3 feet, this is your kit.
