Installation is more involved than a typical accessory switch panel: it requires removing interior trim and the overhead console, drilling mounting holes with a supplied template, and observing the manufacturer's airbag-safety disconnect procedure. It suits owners planning a larger accessory build-out — such as a camper or overland conversion — who want a single, vehicle-specific control point instead of wiring individual switches and relays for each add-on, and who are comfortable with (or plan to have a professional handle) a full interior teardown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis Product Is For You If\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou own a 2019–2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, or 3500XD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are adding aftermarket electrical accessories and need up to 8 independently switched, expandable, 30-amp circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want to operate accessories from the included HD panel or via Bluetooth rather than factory switches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a no-cut, no-splice installation using the vehicle's existing battery posts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want integrated low-voltage cutoff protection on your accessory circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are prepared for an installation that includes interior trim removal, drilling into the overhead console with a supplied template, and following the manufacturer's SRS airbag disconnect procedure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis Product Is Not For You If\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour vehicle is not a 2019–2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500, 3500, or 3500XD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need more than 8 independently switched circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou plan to attach an aftermarket brake controller, high-amp solenoid, or high-amp relay to the same positive battery post as the BantamX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou intend to cut, splice, or otherwise modify the supplied wiring, switches, or connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting the battery cables with reversed polarity voids the warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are not prepared to disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal and observe the required capacitor-discharge wait before working near the SRS airbag system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installation require cutting or splicing into the Sprinter's wiring?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The kit connects to the vehicle's factory battery posts using the included battery cables, without cutting or tapping into the factory electrical system.

This warranty excludes damage or failure resulting from: installation errors; abuse, misuse, or crash damage; reverse battery cable polarity; cutting or splicing sPOD connectors or wiring; attaching non-sPOD cables to the positive\/negative terminal studs; modifying the supplied switches; removing the actuator without the specific actuator removal tool; and water, liquid, or chemical damage. Attaching an aftermarket brake controller, high-amp solenoid, or high-amp relay to the same positive battery post as the BantamX causes irreversible damage and voids all warranties. Normal wear and tear is not covered.
