Garmin Powerswitch - Has anyone used it?

[Alphin Aloor]

Stumbled upon this product online: Garmin Powerswitch.

It is a remote switch panel mounted close to your battery and controlled remotely.

The killer feature for me is the fact that it can be controlled on Apple CarPlay / Android Auto - much more elegant than the switch panels from sPOD, Switchpros, Auxbean

Has anyone used it here? Love to know more about practical experiences.

auxbeam offers similar gangpanel with bluetooth app control for around half the price, and includes the physical control panel you can mount inside car to use when bluetooth connectivity is failing. (same concept of switching box mounted inside engine bay near battery).

garmin powerswitch of course integrates nicely with their other offroad hardware like the TREAD series of navi's.
If you are considering going full garmin eco system, i'd say go for it.

but otherwise the in-car physical backup would be my pref.

I have auxbeam or smth similar(8 buttons) on Yukon and Switchpros 9100 (8 buttons) on Expedition. price difference is 2-3 times, 1 good thing for switchpros is no need to press extra button( you can program for blinking or dimming if supported by lights easily) and current, switchpros are 4x20a and 4x35a, other panel can't handle that much power, so it depends what do you  need and your setup.
