Why You Need the Garmin PowerSwitch - Toyota Truck Benefits Explained 

Will this work if I am in a area without cellular signal. I don’t have apple CarPlay built in my car . So I will have to alway use my phone. I guess I’m asking if the app for the Garmin power switch is data dependent.

@@oem9929 yeah. It’s a Bluetooth connection. So you won’t need cell signal to communicate with it through the app.

Auxbeam is not carplay / android auto capable

I have one in my old truck, definitely worth it. For the ease and function can make on it, just works no worries.

Yes it does work with any model!

SPOD is not Carplay / Android Auto compatible, so you have to use another control surface

Bumping this. Have the same question.

I have the same question!

Under the hood, top left corner. Open the black box. Then, The power suply terminal is covered by a small plastic "box" thingy. Unclip the small plastic "box" thingy, its 2 pieces.

Thank you very much!

Think this is the same for a tundra hybrid?

Got it on my 2001 Ford Ranger works spot on is pricey but just works and simple over all.

@@samhartfieldlewis5247 I understand I just don't feel for the price it's practical for me When I drive I don't use or tough my phone I like enjoying the drive so having to add something that is digitally controlled by a stereo or a phone just isn't practical .. to many people these days text and drive or watch movies and drive or use there phones in general and drive or are just easily distracted by there own electronic devices in there vehicle while they drive..

Your right there is way too may distractions like that. Mine is link to a garmin overlander which is a GPS/sat nav, but then adds more cost too the set up situation. I put mine were the rear view mirror is so not in the way, check use wing mirrors. But it is a old work truck so doesn’t matter too much how looks as long as works well with out irritating me. 👍🏼

@@samhartfieldlewis5247 i got you I have the Garmin Tread XL - Baja Race Edition just a upgraded version of the Overlander I'm not saying the powerswitch is a Bad product I just feel it's over priced for what it is older vehicles are easier to cut up to mount switches rather spend high amounts of money on lockers or axles over a 500 plus dollar digital switch when I can buy some 15 dollar toggles to turn things on or off.. I rather spend the high money on expensive components I need over electronics that fail atleast if a switch fails I can replace it and get back to using my device if that 600 dollar garmin powerswitch fails everything stops working with it

The garmin works on android

Link to the auxbeam for only $100 ???

Just kidding found it on ebay

yea more then happy with my Auxbeam. Have the newer one that has Bluetooth got an ebay deal for $200.

Auxbeam app is not carplay / android auto capable, so you need physical switches, or a phone screen to tap on. not the same product

@@kevinbabcock1127 I never said it was the Same Product and I wasn't talking about the Auxbeam Switch with app I'm talking about the Physical 8 gang Switch.. Maybe you should of asked what I meant by my statement before you assumed.

@@AntonioClaudioMichael If you're going to compare two completely different products, without explaining that's what you are doing, then you shouldn't be surprised if someone misunderstands your point. If the point of being vague is to make people ask what you're talking about then I don't get why you'd want that. Just be clear to begin with and it's not a problem.

@@kevinbabcock1127 I didn't ask you to reply to my comment nor was I comparing anything you could of Been respectful and asked instead of assuming I wasn't vague I made my statement and it was my opinion your the one that commented on it
