Description

The BantamX will save hours of wiring and installation time! It is a small, 8-circuit (expandable) control system that provides a clean (one ethernet cable into the cab!) and safe way to power and control 12/24VDC accessories.

Due to the small footprint of the BantamX, the placement options are endless! No cutting, fishing wires into the cab or tapping into the vehicle’s electrical system. It’s the perfect over-all solution for all your aftermarket electrical accessories with options unmatched by anyone.
