Aux Switch Alternative - ProjectX Ghost Box

Did you Bronco not come equipped with Aux switches and you don't want to run wires inside? The ProjectX Ghost Box is a great option. Simply run your accessories to the box and control it with you phone. Cuts installation time tremendously. We have limited inventory of the units at this time.

I read the details and it does not tell you how many devices you can attach. The picture of the part shows three places to connect wires, is this correct?

Pretty cool. Can control from the app work solely via BT connection to the device?
Connecting to it's wifi would prevent wireless carplay connection and imho becomes a barrier to use.

Cool idea! I personally enjoy the clunky analog-ness of the switches.

I think this would be unusable when your phone is linked to the Ford SYNC - It always locks me out of my phone.

I would love if there was something made to integrate with the Bronco that had metal beefy toggle switches, super tactile and hefty feeling. Most are plastic push buttons.
Even the stock Aux switches feel too light weight

The switches are very satisfying. I once convinced both of my nephews and my niece that one of the switches controlled whether my Antimatter Blue Bronco exterior color was black or blue. I had to time it so when they got in, it was cloudy... so the Bronco looked black...

...Then the sun came out as they were exiting, it looked more blue.

It is 2 circuits per box.

looks like 40amps is the max per box

We also have the Ghost box switch panel that integrates into the system without the app.

Just get a trigger.

I had the Trigger Six-Shooter in my Chevy truck - it was great - could control everything with my phone, and even had options for strobing the lights that were connected, and dimming them as well.

I second the trigger system, I opted for the cable plug in and bought some flush mount buttons.

Pics?

A little bulky but super retro

I'll take the lightweight switches any day. I work with tons of those clunky metal switches and they're constantly failing and being replaced, always have to be re-indexed and tightened down again. Electronics have come a really long way since the 20's when those things were introduced, now you only need a modicum of current to a switch in order to energize a solid state relay, so your switches no longer need to be mechanically large with contacts exposed to the elements, they can be small and even carry a combined digital signal instead of independent analog power for each. The only advantage they have these days is that you can find them literally anywhere. Coincidentally, since you can find them literally anywhere, you can make one of those switch boxes yourself, or just buy one...they're universal in operation and straightforward to integrate. That one you posted right there could probably be mounted where the aux switches are on a Bronco, just a matter of running 6 different wires to it instead of a single cable. Or don't even bother with a box, just drill a bunch of switch holes up there and mount them directly.
