sPOD HD BantamX Center Console Kit | 8-Circuit Power | OEM Console Integration | Can-Am Maverick R 2024-2026 | SKU 870138

The sPOD HD BantamX Center Console Kit (SKU 870138) is the vehicle-specific 8-circuit solid-state power management system engineered for the 2024–2026 Can-Am Maverick R. The HD switch panel integrates directly into the Maverick R center console — OEM-level fit with no universal pod brackets, no exposed wiring, and no relay boxes. The BantamX module mounts under the hood. A single Ethernet cable connects both. Expandable to 32 channels. Operates on 12V or 24V DC.

This kit does NOT fit the Can-Am Maverick X3 or any other Can-Am platform. If you want steering wheel thumb-access control instead of a console panel, see the Mini6 Steering Wheel Mount Kit (870137, 6 circuits, $240 less).

Maverick R sPOD System Selector

Same platform. The distinction is mount location and circuit count. The steering wheel kit puts 6 circuits on the wheel for thumb access at speed — best for high-intensity driving. The center console kit puts 8 circuits in the console for seated accessory management — best for builds that prioritize OEM aesthetics and maximum circuit count. Both are solid-state, both use the same MOSFET technology.

Common Questions

Console-mounted panel vs. steering wheel kit — which is right for my Maverick R build? Two different answers depending on how you drive. The steering wheel kit (870137) puts 6 circuits within thumb reach at all times — optimal for high-speed racing or technical driving where reaching for the console means taking a hand off the wheel. The center console kit (870138) puts 8 circuits in the console in an OEM-integrated panel — optimal for builds that prioritize aesthetics, maximum circuit count, and seated accessory management. If you run both a race and trail setup on the same machine, consider whether thumb access or 8 circuits matters more.

Does the HD panel actually integrate flush with the Maverick R console? Yes. The vehicle-specific mounting bracket is designed for the Maverick R center console geometry — not a universal pod or clamp-on solution. The HD panel sits flush and secure with no exposed brackets, zip ties, or modified panels required.

Does installation require cutting factory wiring? No. The BantamX module connects directly to the battery via the included 36-inch cable set. The Ethernet cable connects the module to the HD panel. No factory circuits are tapped, no wires are cut, no holes are drilled.

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 for UTV builds. The vehicle-specific bracket eliminates fabrication for the console mount. Plan for 2–3 hours. The most time-intensive step is routing the Ethernet cable cleanly to the module. Text (469) 407-7538 with pre-install questions.

The Obsidian Take

The HD BantamX Center Console Kit (870138) is for the Maverick R builder who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power in an OEM-integrated console panel that looks like it was built into the machine from the factory. No relay boxes. No universal pods. No zip ties. Eight circuits, RGB backlit switches, Bluetooth app in parallel, and room to expand to 32 channels.

If thumb access at the steering wheel matters more than 8 circuits and OEM console aesthetics, the Mini6 Steering Wheel Kit (870137) is the right call at $240 less. If 8 circuits with a clean console panel is the build requirement, this is the kit.
