Yo G! Did you mention this can be setup for some switches used for constant power (battery power) and some used for switched power? Example: car off and still able to power dome light, rock lights, and whips while all other switches are powered with key on (switched power).
At 1st it's seems overwhelming, but once you take a moment to break it down. It's a great idea!! Wiring can be fun and challenging. It can also be a nightmare!! Thanks Frank!!👍🏼
Pretty slick brother. Really good video. I like the ones with a termination unit tho just because I don’t like all the spade connectors. 100x better than have a single switch and relay for every device tho.
Ok, here is how you make the stop start work correctly. One channel goes to the black/yellow wire on momentary setting. The switch pro blue and white wired to the red/black on the 4x4 switch. I am using an 8 gang switch pro. I used and #8 goes to the black yellow. On the app, turn switchpro and then tap/hold down momentarily #8 to start. Boom....you have lift off!
Great vid! Now I’m ready to install mine as I was completely lost before watching. Can you control the colors and strobe sequences on the 5150 whips from the switchpro app or does one have to use the regular app that they say to use?
I have this same model of the switch pros on my x3 and was wondering if it works with the shocker exhaust from evo? I just got the exhaust and haven’t put it in yet but didn’t see in your video that it was operational. Great videos as always.
Note may void warranty but Yea. There are 3 wires going to the evo shocker actuator. Red needs constant battery + black constant ground - and the white wire gets controller by the switchpros on and off 12v
If your Switch Pro is on constant power. meaning the key or start button do not need to be on for the Switch Pro to function, then do you still need to tap into a different ignition power for the Start/Stop to work on X3?
What about wiring the Lt blue ignition wire to its own switch, off battery power? I have to use the phone app to wake up accessories even to light up the 4x4 switch. Then I am able to start / shut down the unit. Pretting start button doesn’t wake up accessory lights
If you're using the start button (on switch pros) to wake up the vehicle. Then that start button needs to be set to battery function. So Start button can work at all times
Is there any way to use the switch pro for ignition off a secondary battery? I know ignition is currently on the primary battery. I’m going to set accessories to run off secondary battery.
So if your not have the 12 start the car can you use the accessory post when programming? And then will it still run whips and rock lights with car not running? Thanks for help
So i got mine installed. But im not understanding the starter issue you had with the lt blue and white on the lower post. If you have acc power behind the other toggle switch. Its the same as acc power? Where was the rocker switch hooked up that made it different?
The ignition has to go to the rocker switch if u plan to use remote start feature... If u use the accessory post, the post wont provide power unless the engine is on.. so from what we experienced. Since the accessory post only provides power when the start button was pressed or engine on. It would reset the switchpros Everytime and would not start properly due to ignition turning on and off
@@GLifeUTV so when engine is turning the acc post kind of cuts in and out so that makes the power come and go. On the rocker switch you tied into constant 12v or acc 12v? Cause if its acc 12v shouldnt it be the same thing as lower post. I see where the issue came just not making sense on the tie in of the rocker if its acc it should reset it the same. Or is it due to the back light on the rocker when engines on. That feed should still come from acc?
How did you wire the Shocker into the switch pros other than power and ground “red, black” where do you wire either green or white wire from shocker so that it closes?
black goes to ground, red goes to battery hot, white or green cant remember, it only uses one of them not both. is the wire you control on and off with the switchpros.
I’ve been looking into getting the rcr 12 for the can am, would it make the wiring simple for all the stuff we’re going to be getting for it? For example I have baja designs lights and don’t like the harness they come with and would rather have it connected to switch pros, would it be just having the power and negative setup to the switch pros? Or would I need the baja designs harness for it still
I am confused on this. I have BD light bar. The harness has a positive, negative and ground. What do I do with the ground wire/relay looking thing on the harness?
@@drewfoster1493 i’m pretty sure you can just cut it out, the control module for the switch pros should have the relay in it already built it so you’d just need the negative and positive i believe. i could be wrong though but from what i understand i believe that’s how it works
@@drewfoster1493 i think so because the module should have the fuses for the light bar built into the switch pros so you wouldn’t need the relay that is on the harness they give you but i would ask frank to be 100% sure i don’t wanna give you wrong advice and just say yes
What’s up Frank. Your videos are very informative. Can you tell me how you wired the exhaust to the Switch-Pros. The lights consist of power and ground but the Evo exhaust exhaust has a green and a white wire and I am not sure how to wire them. I Appreciate your help.
There are 3 wires that go to the actuator on the exhaust.. one is ground, one is constant power and the other is power control on and off... You will need to provide power and ground normally thru the power distribution near the shifter on the x3. U can have the power control circuit be controlled by the switchpros. Note i can cut the grey harness. Just dont cut it to close to the original exhaust switch in case u need to reconnect the switch harness
Thanks for the quick response! I actually have four wires. Power, ground, the white you described. When I tested them, it seems that power and white open and the same power and green wire close it. Would that mean that I would need to wire all three power white and green to the Switch-Pros? Sorry for the question this one is really throwing me for a loop.
@@GLifeUTV there are three coming out on the valve but there are 4 when I cut the harness. Kinda caught me off guard I though there would only be the three showing at the connector.
G gotta question have you had your dess system stop working because of your switch pro being used for ignition I installed the switch pro the way you did from watching this and it’s worked great for about 4 months well all of a sudden my dash starts saying could not recognize key and the dealer is trying to blame it on the switch pro I find this hard to believe because it worked for as long as it has and i don’t see why this would have any effect on the dess system?? 2022 XRS TURBO RR
no, in this example they are powered by the backlighting from the 4wd switch, that is the ignition source. if you use the ignition source from the ign post it will power cycle the switchpros everytime u try to start.. this is only if u want to start vehicle from switchpros. if not you can use the accessory post as ur ign to power switchpros
If u mean black white and green.. the green is used for different function.. for s8 it is for the amber backlight using a power source..... if its the green wire for onx6. Its used as a dimming circuit for the light and gets grounded.
Yo questio bro. On the switch pro. I see you have the dual battery set up. Is the dual battery still functional where you are running your acc. Off the hot wire? Or are both batteries on at all times now?
@@GLifeUTV gotcha. I have the dual battery set up. Can i run the switch pro through the hot wire on second battery. (Using switch pro for ignition) And leave the the start up battery as back up. Will it still function?
@@GLifeUTV oh sick! How did you programme it on the app tho? Because I’m trying to programme mine atm. The stock has two switches on and off and want to use the switch pros on one switch to turn on and off. I have two switching cables on and off to hook up to the one switch pros button.
@@GLifeUTV Every bit as bad ass. Are you up on Cleetus Mcfarland? He's got a SICK one that does 8s in the 1/4 mile I think. BTW thanks for posting this. I ordered a cheaper Auxbeam switch kit last week but then discovered the Switch-pros kit. I literally couldn't stop thinking about it after watching this and a few other videos. I decided to order the 9100 yesterday. Just pawned the Auxbeam off on my buddy. Cheers.
U get 17 outputs.. so 1 switch can for example control 2 outputs... 1 switch can be first press 1 output or 2nd press of same switch a different output..
@@GLifeUTV ah gotcha! makes sense. I have a 2005 Honda Rubicon and i custom fabricated some LED headlights, i have rock lights, i have a winch, and looking to put a small LED bar on the rear and another up front.

So if your not have the 12 start the car can you use the accessory post when programming? And then will it still run whips and rock lights with car not running? Thanks for help
Yes... As long as you set the switch for ships to battery on function
That is so bad ass,
how long did it take to install from start to finish.
What do you do with the holes from the old switches
Does take la good saturday to get everything done. But i think its worth it.. most switches slots have caps
Any video on running your own wires to switch pros instead of using provided harnesses with lights. For instance the LP4's ?
Sorry i dont have a video on that
Great content! Did I miss the Glife discount code from switchpros ?
I missed it too 😅😅
@@GLifeUTV lol. They are a great product for sure. Been Watching it for a few years now.
Can you run a rugged radio and intercom from the switch pro
Do you have battery issues running all the lights and stereo on long night rides?
All can ams have a poor charging system. Best bet is running a bigger battery as a bigger "fuel tank"
They make aftermarket stators that are bigger than stock. They can be expensive but not as much as you think.
@@dannyelliott8391 wasnt aware of any aftermarket stators.. i know most are upgrading to the 21 stator. Or getting the expensive zrp alternator kit
