    Purchased both and getting ready to install on my Tundra. Anybody install these on your Tundras and can share some pictures? Install is pretty straightforward and just wanted to see how you routed the wires. TIA.

    Tagged as I just got my Power Tray and Garmin delivered yesterday. I bought Power Tray's 12" braided positive and ground wires in addition to their 100amp circuit breaker that mounts to their tray. I will be installing this weekend and can shoot some pics.

    I have NO accessories to hook up yet, but planning on installing:

    Most likely these:
    Or these looked interesting too.

    I was going switch pro until I saw Gramin can use the stock screen. I wont have to mount a switch plate inside the truck?! I like that idea. I will probably go Garmin as long as the bluetooth connection is reliable.

    That was my thinking as well. I was debating the Garmin vs SPod vs Switch Pro. I even bought one of these thinking I was going to mount a Switch Pro, but ultimately decided to go with Garmin. The only downside of Garmin (assuming the blue tooth works well) might be the app on the stock 14" screen in the Tundra. Not sure how easy or quick it will be to turn off lights. When driving at night in the mountains I like to have lots of lights on, and when a car comes quickly shut them down. That's easy with dedicated switches, just not sure how it will be with the Garmin app up on the screen with say navigation running as well. I could not test the app yet without the Garmin installed to even test it. We shall see.

    I agree, maybe you can add a small kill switch somewhere to turn off and on all lights quickly. I tend to not use the aftermarket lights unless offroad. I do like to the look of the OEM panels but I have a platinum and the mismatch panel would drive my OCD crazy. Which with all that to consider the Gramin is perfect for me.
