Mount the BantamX and Touchscreen inside your van build to control all your interior lighting.
Method Vans also suggests using the BantamX/Touchscreen to control yoru exterior load lighting, which is useful while stationary.  We suggest using a separate sPOD (see sPOD SourceLT and MINI6) to run the roof rack light bar, bumper lights and ARB compressor.
 
The BantamX will save hours of wiring and installation time! It is a small, 8-circuit (expandable) control system that provides a clean and safe way to power and control 12 accessories in your van build. Due to the small footprint of the BantamX, the placement options are endless! It’s the perfect over-all solution for all your aftermarket electrical accessories with options unmatched by anyone.

TOUCHSCREEN CONTROL PANEL
 
Touchscreen Benefits:
Reduced installation time and labor allowing for mounting and connection of eight switches at one time versus individually.Reduced wire harness complexity, using one harness to our controller to accommodate up to 32 circuits.Reduced harness size offers an overall reduction in weight, improving the operational efficiency of the equipment.Increase in switch lifecycle over traditional electromechanical switches.
Touchscreen Control Module Features:
Voltage feedback (vehicles battery/alternator voltage)Amperage meter for each switch gives you the status of how much current each accessory is drawingBoard temperature feedback (shown on screen)Customization: legends (3 lines of text)Automatic backlighting off after 30 minutes of being inactivityAutomatic power off after 6 hours of being inactive or engine not running (Deep sleep mode)One touch off functionOne second hold on off button shuts all circuits downAutomatic system shut down when the touchscreen is unpluggedBacklight dimmingMultiple Source select (One touchscreen can control up to 32 circuits)Come with its own mounting bracket.Bluetooth for use in programming and operating the touchscreen hi
