Solid unit, Bluetooth app works but could be better
Used this to run my Baja Designs XL light bar and lights on my bed rack. Works well. Easy to install. The app makes switching modes super easy and Bluetooth works well, but vehicle has to be on accessory power at least for it to work.

Worked great, kept a majority of the wiring in the engine bay.
I used this on a Jeep TJ to add lighting and other add-ons (water pump, etc.). It makes the installation cleaner. I mounted the remote unit on the top of the window frame. And it's perfect! I like the available functions. I wanted the ability to use it remotely for times when I am in my roof-top-tent (RTT), e.g if I heard a noise I can use my phone and the available app to remotely turn-on all of my LED lights (all around the Jeep); I was concerned it would not have the ability/reception in the RTT- no problems! I can control this while sitting at the campsite.In the Jeep, it's not an easy installation as there is no really clean place to install the controller. I installed on a frame that I fabricated and placed above the battery. I used a double-pole/double-throw switch to allow normal connection to the ignition/accessory OR a connection to the battery for times when I am camping and want to be able to turn on the surrounding lights remotely. Works great. NOTE: I have the best battery you can buy so I don't have to worry about running it down.This unit is not cheap, but it does exactly what I needed. I highly recommend it.

I was able to clean up my engine bay so well with this little guy. 10/10 recommend. It works as designed and is very well built. Been on my crawler for almost 4 months with no issues

Best bang for the buck switch system, upgraded features are nice, but overall still has some flaws
I already had the Auxbeam BA-80 8-gang system installed in my vehicle, but I wanted to upgrade to this AR-800 system to get the new Bluetooth control and RGB backlighting features. Installation was very easy, as Auxbeam gives you practically everything you need to get this into your vehicle: power cables, circuit breaker, accessory wires, button decals, etc. In fact, it is almost identical to what you get with the older BA-80 system. The only clue that you will spot is that the relay box has a differently styled cover (and blue terminals inside); even the newer AR-800 control panel looks exactly the same as the older BA-80!For those who are considering upgrading from the BA-80, the quality of the components given are very good. The control panel has a metal frame and the membrane buttons are of excellent quality. The control panel does not feel like some cheap electronic at all! The relay box is fairly heavy and built solid as well. Actual system functionality is the same as the BA-80 except you also get two new features: RGB backlighting and Bluetooth app control. RGB backlighting allows you to change the backlight of the buttons to practically any color so you can match the Auxbeam control panel to your dash lighting. Bluetooth control allows you to use your smartphone to control your lights and accessories remotely, including added features for each circuit such as momentary control or strobe/flashing. Both features are done through a phone app, which is pretty basic but does the job.Unfortunately after install I discovered that tthere are 3 flaws to this system... and they are exactly the same 3 complaints I had with the original BA-80: First, the included circuit breaker feels cheap and questionable, but I already had a different circuit breaker in place so I did not use the included one; Second, the newer AR-800 switch panel STILL resets back to "all off" when you turn the key off, so if you like certain accessories to turn on when you turn the key to ON you have to manually turn them back on at the switch panel every single time you start the vehicle; and Third. the automatic brightness/dimmer illumination feature still doesn't seem to work at all, the lighted switch panel stays the same brightness no matter if it's daytime or night time.So the AR-800 system is basically an upgraded BA-80 that adds in RGB backlighting and App remote control for about $100 more than the BA-80. It is still a bang-for-the-buck alternative to the more expensive SwitchPro-style switch panels going for $500+, so if you can live with the minor flaws (I think I can) then this is a great value system to control all your vehicle electronics!

Probably the best switch consolidator available
Very well made, very easy to install, easy to use app, brightness ranges from "slight glow" to "leaves sunspots when you blink", in all colors. Compact units (distribution block, control panel) so it's easy to mount both almost anywhere, and cable/cable head, so it's easy to thread through small gaps in the body panels. I had my dad 3D print a mount for the garage door opener cubby in the overhead console, and now I can even use the factory GDO button to hit the most used switch.Best of all, it's a fraction of the cost of "name brand" switch panelsI would like maybe available widgets for my phone home screen, or even a smart watch app, but those are very minor things.Overall it's 100% worth the price.

Switch panel for Ezgo golf cart
This switch panel is awesome! I hooked it to a converter box on my 36 volt ezgo golf cart . The panel gives you 8 ports to hook up any 12 volt items to control. I have a horn, blue tooth speakers and a USB already hooked up with a push of a button. Must buy if you want to hook up multiple devices to your batteries.

Head unit dead after 1 month.
The head unit stopped lighting up and communicating with the main board. Was great while it was working but died within 1 month. Have to rewire the whole vehicle to old school relays and switches because this died.

Bluetooth doesn't work
The good: The item is good and able to add multiple lights is really amazing.The Bad: Bluetooth doesn't work. App keeps on crashing when trying to connect. Unable to find the device in Bluetooth. Also, the description is false. It should have came with a 2 sided output but what I received is a 1 sided output. Even the photos they used shows the 2 sided output. For the amount that I paid, I expect it to work and to receive what was in the description of the item.

Would recommend.
Easy enough to install, works as it should. Bluetooth app is handy and has extra features like grouping. Instead of having to hit multiple buttons to shut off your light bars and pods you only have to press one. Very convenient on the hwy.

Exactly what I expected.
The good:-waterproof fuse box. Really nice design, easy mounting.-great touch panel. Metal, feels like quality.-tidy-custom colours to match your interior.-Suggested improvements:-more instruction on choosing fuses for circuits and whether you can customize the placement. I want to have full control of where I put buttons on the switch pad and it’s not clear if you can change the order of the fuses in the panel to suit, as each input has the amperage printed on the housing.-would like to choose an “on” colour for the button rather than the little red, green or blue led above it.-longer main power cable (in a Jeep, the best mounting place is opposite side of the battery)-make the ten button version available on Amazon!- the app is horrible. It works, but the user experience is awful. One thing not in the literature is that you can turn your phone to landscape mode to make the touchpad bigger, but it’s still way smaller than it could be. Bluetooth connection has to be set up manually every time you want to use it.- Would like an option to use a power button to enable a set of circuits you don’t want pressed accidentally, like lockers or winch in/out- mounting options are ok but should include a standard ball mount
