Spod, worth it?
#11
I was about to pull the trigger on the s pod, until I saw that SWITCH PRO... and read some REAL bad thing about Spod customer service...
IMO.. the switch pro is a better unit, plus 2 extra switches over the Spod... and its a cheaper!... S pods usually 499 + if you want BT interaction...
When it comes down to it.. DO what YOU want to your rig.. but do your homework before you jump into any purchase as we all know they can get pricey, and WHY would you want to do a mod or upgrade TWICE...

Yeah, sPOD is nice because it gives a factory look to the install, especially when you add OTRATTW.com switch toggles and wire them into the dash dimmer control. It is limited on total current (50 amps) and not waterproof, though. Not sure what the excitement at SEMA was over the newest offering. There have been similar, generic install options from other manufacturers for years.

You guys need to follow John the Spod Guy on Instagram - apparently that's where he posts the coolest stuff. He recently put up a video of a soon to be released touch screen SPOD. John's customer service has always been second to none and that's why I'll always run an SPOD. I don't know who this new company is, but at the end of the day I think all their product is going to do is force SPOD to offer something that blows them out of the water.

You're comparing Apples to a Hammer.

^^^agree w Vladimer^^^ My experience with sPOD is they aren't the most customer service based company. But that wouldn't stop me from buying their product. It's pricey but solid quality unit and a lot of people use it and there is great support of it on these forums.
