Auxiliary switches

[WILDHOBO]

The only problem with the factory switches after the fact is that if you're going through all that effort to run the wiring, you might as well get more switches with another brand at the same price.

Fair point.

I did a lot of research and mind twisting. Went with the VoSwitch. Super happy. Although not "factory" it has a nice integrated "factory style" look. Super nice, and I've already used 5 of the switches with lights that require both "high" and "low" switches.

I went with the LasFit switches and I am very happy with them. The fit/finish is near factory so they look great. Installation was straightforward with the great install videos available on YouTube. I also installed a bypass for the cigarette lighter so it's powered even when the Jeep is turned off. This means that my Lasfit switches also work when the Jeep is turned off.

Do you have a part number or link for the bypass?

Got the factory aux switches for com equipment and bed recpticle. Use a VOS grab handle setup for my lockers and aux lighting

And I gotta say, if you have the dealer do the Fact Aux Switch install, it is niceer then if the factory did it. I got mine installed, 3 months after purchase. Search for the best price on line from a Mopar parts supplier then ask 2-3 dealers for an install quote. Keep proof of purchase.

I've had the Lasfit switches and aftermarket lockers for over a year an a half now. Looks like factory and they have two modes. You can run them in locker mode or standalone mode, run them independently, and (something I like) I don't have to bother with factory equipment.

I installed the Mopar switches in my Gladiator. I installed the Voswitch JL800 grab handle in our Wrangler.

I love the factory look and Uconnect integration with the Mopar set so I went with it. It’s expensive and a long install and a big con is you only get 4 switches. But I don’t regret it. It looks so clean and works well.

The Voswitch, and probably any aftermarket solution, is a much easier install. We have 8 switches, and my wife has already used 5 for her lighting (LED mall crawler stuff but she loves it). The switch, while not factory, looks good and functions properly.

I’ll end up adding another switch bank to the gladiator at some point when I run out switches. Might do the Voswitch in it also but I’m intrigued to see what, if anything, Oracle does with the Six Shooter now that they’ve acquired the company. That’s probably the easiest install out there.

One of the more convenient solutions would be to add the Trigger Controller (4 or 6 Shooter) by Oracle to your setup. The Trigger is a wireless set of switches that do not require wiring through the firewall and provides a wireless RF 4 or 6 gang switch. The controller can also be controlled by an app or by buttons directly on the unit under the hood. It also comes with built in battery monitoring with low voltage cut off.

Thanks to everyone for all the information. One thing I like about my Jeep is there are so many ways to personalize. You guys have given me all great paths to choose from. They are all great ideas. Thank you again.

Garmin PowerSwitch is another alternative. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/718849

Wireless and uses either your phone, tablet, or Garmin Tread (or other Garmin nav screen) to control it. No physical switches, though.

It also has CarPlay and Android auto integration via the Garmin App and expansion for up to 4 switch boxes, so 24 circuits.

TBF though, by the time you're at that many devices/circuits you should really be looking at a full control system like Redvision.

I really like the factory switches.

My JT did not come with them. My solution is a custom setup. I’m running dedicated wire from the battery, with a small fuse block and relay in the cabin, and on/off switch at the top of the dash.
