8 Fully Customizable Channels — Dynamic Channel Assignment lets you group multiple outputs to one button, or run one output with different strobe patterns — no rewiring needed as your build evolves
Dedicated 9th Backlight Channel — Powers all backlit accessories without consuming any of your 8 primary output channels; one button lights them all up
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — Control all 9 channels from your in-dash infotainment screen with custom button names, colors, and icons carried over from the app
OEM Signal Integration — 4 trigger wires + ignition wire auto-on/off with vehicle; ties into high beams, fog lights, and reverse for fully integrated, touchless control
Solid-State, No Relays or Fuses — Fully-encapsulated aluminum hub rated IP67; no mechanical failure points; rated -40°F to 250°F for engine bay or cab mounting
125A Total Capacity — 4×15A + 4×30A outputs + 15A backlight channel; engineered and assembled in the USA with a 3-year limited warranty
Complete programmable control over your 12V accessories — lights, compressors, winches, and more — in one solid-state system built to last.
Dynamic Channel Assignment — True Flexibility
Unlike traditional switch panels where Channel 1 is permanently tied to Button 1, the D-Switch lets you remap any output to any button. Group multiple outputs under one button press — flip on your ditch lights, rock lights, and dash LEDs simultaneously with a single tap. Or dedicate one button to run the same output through different strobe patterns. Route it however your build needs, and reprogram it any time without touching a wire.
The programming lives on the hub itself, so the system runs exactly as configured whether you're using the physical controller, the Bluetooth app, or your infotainment screen.
The 9th Button — Dedicated Backlight Bus Bar
Most 8-button switch panels stop at 8 outputs. The D-Switch adds a dedicated 9th button wired to the backlight bus bar. Every backlit accessory — pods, light bars, dash panels, rock lights — connects through this channel and powers on together with one button press.
This means your 8 primary output channels stay free for what actually draws current. No compromises, no workarounds. For heavily built rigs running multiple lighting systems, this alone is a game-changer.
Bluetooth App + CarPlay / Android Auto Control
App Control That Actually Works
The Bluetooth app (iOS and Android) delivers instant response with no loading screens or connection delays. Name your channels, set strobe timing, assign button images and colors, and pair up to 4 D-Switch units from one phone. Custom button layouts sync directly to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — giving you in-dash control of all 9 channels without touching your phone while driving.
The app is for setup and adjustments. Daily operation runs entirely through the physical controller or your infotainment screen. No phone required after initial configuration.

OEM Signal Integration — Touchless, Automatic Control
The D-Switch includes four trigger wires and a dedicated ignition wire. Wire the ignition input to your OEM ignition source and the panel powers on and off automatically with the vehicle — no manual switch required. The three trigger wires connect to any 12V factory signal: high beams, fog lights, reverse lights. Program those triggers to activate specific outputs automatically, and your entire auxiliary lighting system works like factory equipment.
The Night Mode trigger adjusts controller backlight brightness and can activate dim modes automatically when driving at night.
Solid-State, Built for the Long Haul
The D-Switch hub is a fully-encapsulated aluminum casting — no mechanical relays, no physical fuses. Both the hub and controller are rated IP67, which means dust-tight and water submersion rated. Operating range runs from -40°F to 250°F, covering everything from cold-soak starts to underhood mounting. The 9-16V DC range handles any 12V vehicle platform without voltage sensitivity issues.
Built and engineered in the USA. Backed by a 3-year limited warranty — and warranty claims don't require returning the product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with any vehicle? Yes — the D-Switch is universally compatible with any 12V DC vehicle. Trucks, Jeeps, Broncos, Tacomas, 4Runners, overlanders. Not vehicle-specific.
Do I need the app to use it after setup? No. All programming is stored on the hub. Once configured via Bluetooth app, the system runs independently — no phone required for daily operation.
What's the difference between the 15A and 30A channels? Channels 1–4 are 15A — suited for LED pods, light bars, and most 12V accessories. Channels 5–8 are 30A — built for high-draw devices like air compressors, winches, or large rock light arrays.
Is the hub really waterproof? Hub and controller are IP67 rated — sealed against dust and temporary water submersion. Wiring terminals are excluded from IP67 and should be protected during install with proper routing and sealing.
Can I control it while driving? Yes. The controller mounts within reach and operates all channels directly. The app is for programming — not required for daily operation. CarPlay/Android Auto gives you in-dash control hands-free.
Can I pair multiple D-Switch units? Yes — the Bluetooth app supports pairing up to 4 D-Switch units simultaneously from a single phone, giving you centralized control over an expansive accessory setup.
How does the warranty work? 3-year limited warranty. Warranty claims do not require returning the product — Diode Dynamics handles defective units without a full return process.
What if I want to run my lights without the ignition on? The ignition wire can be programmed for auto on/off, but you can always power the controller on manually at any time to use outputs with the ignition off.
