sPOD BantamX Wireless | App-Controlled 8-Circuit Power | Jeep Wrangler JL / Gladiator JT 392 V8 | SKU 870122

⚠️ CRITICAL FITMENT NOTE: This SKU is for the 392 V8 engine only. The standard JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator (2.0L turbo, 3.6L Pentastar, 4xe) use a different SKU — order 870118 for those platforms. Ordering 870122 for a non-392 JL or JT will result in a harness and bracket mismatch.

The sPOD BantamX Wireless Switch Controller (SKU 870122) is the 392 V8-specific 8-circuit solid-state power management system for the Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT with the 6.4L HEMI V8. All 8 circuits are controlled entirely through the sPOD app on your phone or tablet — no physical switch panel required in the cabin. The BantamX module mounts under the hood via the included 392-specific bracket and harness. No wires cut, no factory circuits tapped, no cab penetration required. Expandable to 32 channels. Operates on 12V or 24V DC.

Component Specifications

870122 vs. 870118 — Engine Is the Deciding Factor

These are not interchangeable. The harness routing, cable lengths, and bracket mounting points are specific to each engine configuration. Confirm your engine before ordering. If your JL or JT has the 392 V8 — order 870122. If your JL or JT has any other engine — order 870118.

Kit Contents

Critical Compatibility — Does NOT Fit

FITMENT: This SKU is built for the 392 V8 engine only. If your JL or JT does not have the 6.4L HEMI V8, this kit will not fit correctly. Confirm your engine on your window sticker or door jamb before ordering. Questions? Text (469) 407-7538.

Common Questions

How do I confirm my JL or JT has the 392 V8? Check your window sticker, door jamb label, or VIN decoder. The 392 designation indicates the 6.4L HEMI V8. If your window sticker or door jamb shows 2.0L, 3.6L, or 4xe, order 870118 instead. Text (469) 407-7538 if you need help confirming before ordering.

There is no switch panel — how do I control accessories on trail? Through the sPOD app on your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. You can label each circuit, toggle accessories on and off, monitor circuit status, and program dimming, strobe, flash, and momentary functions entirely from the app. If you want physical buttons you can reach without your phone, order the BantamX HD for the 392 platform instead.

Does installation require cutting factory wires or tapping into the JL harness? No. The BantamX module connects directly to the battery via the included 392-specific cable set and mounts under the hood via the 392-specific bracket. No factory circuits are tapped, no wires are cut, no cab penetration required.

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.

What does installation actually take — time, tools, and skill level? Intermediate DIY level. No wire cutting, drilling, or crimping required. The 392-specific bracket eliminates guesswork on under-hood placement. Plan for 1.5–2 hours. Basic hand tools handle the battery terminal connections. If you are not comfortable working at the battery terminals, have a qualified automotive electrician complete that step. Text (469) 407-7538 with pre-install questions.

The Obsidian Take

The BantamX Wireless (870122) is for the 392 V8 owner who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power managed entirely from their phone — no switch panel, no cab wiring, no interior clutter. The 392-specific harness and bracket make this a direct fit for the V8 engine bay without modification.

The single most important decision on this SKU happens before you add it to cart: confirm your engine. If it says 392 or 6.4L HEMI on the window sticker, this is your kit. If it says anything else, order 870118.
