sPOD BantamX Touchscreen Kit | 8-Circuit In-Cab Touchscreen | 2025-2026 Toyota 4Runner 6th Gen | SKU 87-0042

The sPOD BantamX Touchscreen Kit (SKU 87-0042) is the vehicle-specific 8-circuit solid-state power management system engineered for the 2025–2026 Toyota 4Runner (6th Generation). It integrates a dedicated in-cab touchscreen into the 4Runner's interior architecture for clean, OEM-aligned accessory control — through current-sensing MOSFET technology with no fuses, no relays, and a single Ethernet cable between the module and touchscreen. Expandable to 32 channels. Operates on 12V or 24V DC.

This kit does NOT fit the 5th Generation 4Runner (2010–2024). Confirm your model year before ordering.

sPOD 6th Gen 4Runner Power Management Lineup

Touchscreen vs. HD BantamX: same 8-circuit BantamX module, same expandability, $25 price difference. The touchscreen delivers a clean OEM-style interface that integrates with the 4Runner's interior aesthetic. The HD panel delivers tactile physical switches operable by feel in low-light and off-road conditions. Choose based on how you operate the vehicle — touchscreen for daily driver and occasional trail use, HD panel for dedicated off-road builds where eyes-free switch operation matters.

Critical Compatibility — Does NOT Fit

FITMENT: Built for the 2025–2026 Toyota 4Runner 6th Generation only. The 6th gen launched in 2025 — do not order for a 2024 or earlier 4Runner. Questions? Text (469) 407-7538.

Common Questions

How do I confirm I have a 6th gen 4Runner and not a 5th gen? The 6th generation 4Runner launched for the 2025 model year. If your 4Runner is a 2024 or earlier, it is a 5th gen and this kit does not fit. Confirm your model year on your window sticker, door jamb, or title before ordering.

Touchscreen vs. HD panel — which is right for my build? Both run the same 8-circuit BantamX module. The touchscreen integrates cleanly into the 4Runner's interior aesthetic and is the right choice for a daily driver or a build where cab appearance is a priority. The HD panel gives you tactile physical switches you can hit by feel in the dark without taking your eyes off the trail — the right choice for a dedicated off-road build. The $25 price difference should not be the deciding factor. How you actually use the vehicle should be.

Does installation require cutting factory wires or tapping into the 4Runner harness? No. The BantamX module connects directly to the battery via the included 84-inch cable set. A single Ethernet cable runs from the module to the in-cab touchscreen. No factory circuits are tapped, no wires are cut.

Can I expand beyond 8 circuits later? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels via the sPOD BantamX add-on system.

Does touchscreen mounting vary by trim? Potentially. The 6th gen 4Runner interior panel configurations may vary between SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trailhunter, Limited, and Platinum trims. Verify your specific trim's interior panel configuration before installation. Text (469) 407-7538 with pre-install questions.

What does installation actually take — time, tools, and skill level? Intermediate to advanced DIY level. The vehicle-specific mounting hardware eliminates custom fabrication. Plan for 2–3 hours for a clean finished install. Battery terminal connections require basic hand tools. Interior panel removal for touchscreen mounting may require trim tools and varies by trim level. If you are not comfortable with interior panel work or battery terminal connections, have a qualified automotive electrician complete the installation.

The Obsidian Take

The BantamX Touchscreen (87-0042) is for the 6th gen 4Runner owner who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power behind a dedicated in-cab touchscreen that looks like it belongs there. The single Ethernet cable keeps the cab wiring clean. The vehicle-specific hardware means no fabrication. The BantamX module grows with the build to 32 channels.

If tactile switches you can operate by feel on trail matter more than touchscreen aesthetics, spend the extra $25 and order the HD BantamX (87-0041). If 6 circuits covers your build, the Mini6 SourceLT (87-0043) saves $270. If the clean in-cab screen interface matches how you actually use this 4Runner, the 87-0042 is the right call.

Eight circuits. One cable into the cab. A screen that looks like it came from the factory.
