Best Deck For Bandit Dash (2024 Updated)

Faf’n awesome! Don’t have a surround installed yet but that’s coming soon. Display is wicked easy to use and setup. So many features, race ready at the press of a button

I’ve used a few different digital aftermarket dashes in the past. This thing is my favorite, by far. MAP always delivers parts quickly and packaged well.

Awesome product easy install and set up and awesome service from FAF thanks

Mounted this waterproof switch panel in a waterproof plastic enclosure, and installed it in an open aluminum Jon boat (G3). I wish there was a way to disable the red “off” lights and only have the green “on” lights function.

The only purpose of the negative wire is for these red/green lights. So to disable the red lights by leaving off the negative wire, then the green is disabled too. Well built and waterproof. Today was not the only day I used it in the rain.

I only used 16 gauge wire for the 6 circuits, so I replaced all the supplied 15 amp fuses with 10 amp fuses. Wish I went with the 8 circuit model, to have spares. Used all 6.

Im nuilging my own 18 ft power catamaran. Im getting to the end and Im not skimping on anything. So many boats you buy have horrible electrical systems. Automotive wire and connectors, cheap switches, in line fuses, and no junction blocks.

I bought the Blue Sea switch panel for the high quality design, intregal circuit breakers, back lite panel, and high grade plastic. Also very weather proof. So when Im done my boat will be top notch from the construction, electrical, to the finish.

I love that the product is flush and that the toggles are not accidentally switched on and off when messing with a fish in the kayak. Its nice you can customize the labels as well. I have yet to have to switch a fuse on the go, but it is nice to have them all in one spot and easily accessible.

I modified a circuit box on the underside to protect the wiring. Great product that keeps the salt out of the spots you want dry. A simple fresh water wipe under the cover from now and then is all the maintenance needed.

Excellent product! Highly recommend with the internal fuses which are easily accessed after removing the front panel( no more extra wiring or crouching down to reach under a console anymore). The fuses also have a very durable rubber cover underneath the face plate that keep them completely waterproof.

Worth every Penny over all the junk available.

Good product. Installed 2 + years ago and no issues. til now. I have a 20 amp fuse on the main wire running to the panel. That fuse blew when a pump shorted. Not the 15 amp breaker in the panel. Blew a few testing to find the short.

Every time the 20 amp fuse blew instead of the 15 amp breaker. Makes me question the actual rating of the breaker and the fuses.

Got this as my cellphone needed a place to stay and not blind me while using Android Auto. The main well is deep enough that I don’t get any reflections from my cellphone any more. the two smaller parts are added area to the dash and the lips are rather small, but do hold my sunglasses just fine.

Easy upgrade and the color matches my dash perfectly.

I really like this product. The fit and finish are way better than some of the other people commented on; no gaps, fits into the holes tightly, doesn’t stick up very intrusively at all in my opinion, and looks good aesthetically.

Works great too, although I did add some nonslip shelf liner to it, because it is slippery due to it being a type of plastic. Things do pop out when I corner hard, but honestly that’s something that should be expected.

I would recommend it to others for sure.

This little jewl added so much organized storage to my dash. No longer cluttered I can easily locate my glasses, pens, tape measure and more. A snap to install and gave a great look too. Highly recommend to those who want better dash storage!.

I didn’t really trust the vague 36 YO gauges in my $5k-ish (No paper trail 4 MRS!), 416HP, full tilt, Javelin 360ci, in my 79 CJ7 Renegade. AMC parts are BIG bucks & RARE vs. SBCs. Especially my forged bottom end & roller everything.

Yes, I was very nervous on initial start & the 1st 1k miles. Especially oil pressure after doing the “AMC Under intake OIL Tube Mod” Gets oil from the high pressure front to the low pressure rear. Instructions are great.

I did as much work as possible before purchasing at the store. The counter guys helped me install them most of the way as I could in the parking lot. A NO-NO, I realize. But these young, motivated guys wanted to learn what little I know, & shared what the “old guys” taught me 100 years ago.

So yeah, their coffee breaks MAY have been a bit long but no calls went unanswered. They picked up a few things & will sell the heck out of these w/confidence! A GREAT group that is a credit to that store!.

I bought this cheap gauge set awhile ago for my restoration, hooked up all three, started engine for first time a month ago, water temp stopped working after 4 hours most likely gas leaked from capillary tube.

This set is off shore junk from Taiwan. Oil pressure gauge has no restricted orifice, needle reacts way too quickly. Voltmeter is 0. 25 of a volt too low compared to 2 different digital meter checks.

I bought these instruments because of the AutoMeter name and reputation. They are the larger dial size and fit well in the décor of the restomod vehicle they are installed in. Installation was easy and the only thing I did to vary from the instructions was to purchase locally, a metal tube installation kit (AutoMeter) for the oil pressure gage.

I just don’t trust the plastic tubing. It worked out great. They are a definite asset to the car. They beat the Idiot Lights any day of the week.

This trim does the job by looking relatively nice in my 2012 Cruze. The material is “cheaper” feeling then the original trims in the vehicle but not to the point where it feels like it could break. There is a small gap big enough for a small pinky finger to slide into at the top of the opening where the OEM display would sit.

This kit makes the stereo look like it came from the factory OEM. Just be careful and make sure none of the tabs on the back are broken. They ship in a bag and leaves the tabs vulnerable to damage. Looks awesome in my 2013 Chevy Cruze.

Fits my car nicely. I was a little confused at first, but it looks good.

I bought this kit after viewing many videos posted on the web. One thing I noticed was that by using the provided radio mounting clips the radio sat perfectly in the factory radio bracket. i didn’t have to trim anything out of the radio bracket nor cut out the vertical metal dash support the radio bracket is riveted to.

I did have to trim a bit of the upper dash plastic, about a thumb size, where it was riveted to the top of vertical metal dash support. The upper rear edge of the double din receiver hit the upper dash plastic.

The dash needed a bit of clearance there. Also, depending on your new double din, the radio bracket may need trimming on the rear vertical edge in order for the new receiver wiring to clear the radio bracket making it easier to slide the receiver into the dash.

I mounted the radio mounting clips to the radio and pushed them as far back on the radio as possible. This allowed for the radio to be projected as far into the cabin as possible which prevented the radio from hitting the metal dash support bracket, the metal bracket I see in so many videos being hacked out.

Yes, the metal clips are lower quality but it appears they just need to be crimped a little more to attach more firmly to the new bezel. The plastic is a little thinner and isn’t textured like original, otherwise 5 stars.

Quality and fitment are OK but not great. Do not purchase if you plan on painting to match your factory color. The black doesn’t look bad on a charcoal interior but the light grey or pewter interiors it stand out like a sore thumb.

Painting to match is near impossible if you don’t sand all,the original paint off the item before attempting to paint. The original paint isn’t compatible with SEM interior paint and wrinkles up very badly.

Metra and SEM both told me it could be painted withut removing the original paint first. This is not true, after 3 attempts and many phone calls for assistance I gave up.

This dash kit is the way to go! I bought my navigation/in-dash DVD before deciding how I was planning to install the system. I found (by Googling) this dash kit from Sonics. It literally replaced my weird shaped factory din style with the double din without having to cut anything.

It literally pops right into place and it comes with the provided brackets that attach to the side of your new stereo. I will say this, it did not come with screws to attach the provided brackets to the new stereo, and it comes in a flat black color (which looks ok, but they could have easily made some factory look alike options.

Overall, fantastic purchase.

Bought this with the intent to put it in my car. Once it arrived, we noticed it was too big for the console. If this is your first install make sure you take measurements. Best Buy was closed for COVID by the time I returned it, I got the crappy comment about being over 14 for electronic purchases.

I am stuck with this, but will not buy anything like this from Best Buy again. Lesson learned.

The installation kit was exactly what I needed for my van it was easy to use easy to install. When I was at the store the employees there were very helpful and fast finding me exactly what I needed.

I had not run into any problems with the installation kit. However i was not the person who installed the radio. After about 3 weeks the tuner is not working on the radio. I am not sure if it has to do with the installation kit or not.

I will have to make another appointment to have the problem researched.

Gauges work great and look great. There is a background light for night time that’s plenty bright enough. I used these to replace my factory gauges. They are 2′ diameter. The only downfall is the plastic tubing for oil pressure.

Buy a copper line!! Plastic will leak or bust and you’ll have oil leaking inside your vehicle. Even after installing copper line check connection at gauge for leaks. It must be really tight. It’s a compression fitting.

The wires coming off gauges are about a foot long so make sure you have rolls of black and red wire to run for power and grounds. Alt gauge has 4 wires, Temp 2 + sensor and Oil 2 wires + sensor. Took 2 hours to install properly.

Overall I’m satisfied and trust these gauge readings to be accurate.

Was looking for a 3-gauge package for my El Camino after installing a new crate motor, but did not want to go cheap and take the risk. Also wanted white face, chrome panel for that “old school” appearance with Auto Meter quality (Auto Gauge is an Auto Meter product.

) Perfect for my needs. Purchased a copper feed line separately as I won’t use the plastic lines. (Just a personal preference. ).

Very good kit and easy installation. Complete with all the adapters that you probably need. But in my opinion The plastic tube is too delicate to oil pressure, put it right in “good to have box” and replace it with Copper pipe kit ATM-3224.

Had the unit for over a year and it is way to touchy to vibration. I talked with Holley and they had me try adjusting the screws on the back about a dozen time to find the “sweet spot” they mentioned that changes in the season based on moisture and humidity can make the screen go from the dash view back to the menu page without touching.

So in the spring and fall the unit goes back the the menu page while I’m driving! Apparently summer time is the only time this unit wants to work.

As always the Holley component came perfectly packaged. It’s like Christmas day every time. The screen is wonderful. I had previously installed the 3. 5″ screen and I didn’t have to rewire anything to plug in the new screen.

The 2 different mounting hole locations make it a breeze to mount although I wish it came with some brackets. Great product, the preloaded interfaces have great appeal and there are a variety to choose from.

Haven’t hooked up the dash yet, but shipping was super fast, packaging awesome. Boyfriends birthday present and he was extremely happy

As bad as my 2 year old “Coverking” dash cover faded, at least it fit my dash perfect. I think Covercraft could have done a much better job tailoring it to fit my dash. I had to make several Pie cuts to get rid of all the bubbles and area’s that just wouldn’t contour to my dash.

And that was after a week of leaving it on my dash in the summer to try to get it to lay flat. Sorry Covercraft, you may have lost me on buying this “Original Dash Mat again. But I just put my “UltiMat” cover any Dodge truck and it fit like a glove.

Maybe they need better quality control checks on the person doing the cutting and sewing.

The dash mat is a nice item and will protect your dashboard. This is the 5th car we purchased a dash mat for. Even though we like it, we feel the workmanship has gone downhill some. The fine finishing touches aren’t there like before, but it still will protect the dashboard.

I was surprised. I fit perfectly; in all the right places. So easy to install and fasten down. I should have gotten one years ago before the Florida sun and heat cracked the dashboard. Thanks for a quality product.

Installed in the spot where the brake idiot light was located, and looks like stock, and works well. Auto Meter is a USA product, which was a major factor in my purchase, but there reputation proceeds them, and reviews are excellant.

Yes they are costly, but it is my hope that I will never need to replace this. Instillation was straight forward, I used a switched power, so the tach works with the key, and installed the light with the interment cluster lights for dimming.

Ground to chassis, tach signal wire to stock output from distributer.

I had a cheap chinese made tachometer and the readings it gave was not accurate and quite jumpy. Decided to buy this one from Autometer instead. And the result was brilliant, accurate and smooth readings.

The packaging was good too and easy to read instructions. Perhaps abit pricey, but in the end you get quality from this american made product.

I couldn’t get it to work. I was trying to place the internal parts into my tachometer housing. This required me to remove it from the original case. I followed the directions for hook up to the letter.

I was very careful with the actual working unit, so I don’t believe I damaged it.

So I’ll start if with it takes less than 5 mins to remove the factory one and install this one. Seams to be decent quality. My issue is that you pay $25 for a piece of plastic to have some extra storage and then the manufacturer can’t even give you a couple new metal clips to install in the dash.

You will have to remove the metal clips from the factory one and reinstall on the new one. Come on guys stop being so cheap and give the hardware needed for the products you manufacture and sell, have a little pride and do the right thing.

Now I’m able to put my sunglasses and miscellaneous items on my dash. The rear wedge works great as a place to park my phone (and I don’t need a phone holder). The angle of the wedge is perfect for viewing my screen.

BUT. the reason for 4 stars. you will need to cut and fit ‘matting’, such as the liner that you line your tool box with to keep your sunglasses, phone and misc items from sliding off of the tray areas.

Be sure you take the clips from your old part and install on the new piece securely. One of mine slipped off and I had to go to the junk yard for new clips (or pay JEEP $55 for the replacement piece to get new clips).

Overall, I’m happy with the item after the non slip matting modification. The Mfg would be better off to charge an extra buck and include with the purchase!.

I was looking for something to add a little more room for cell phone, sunglasses, loose change, etc. This has a seamless, built-in look and feel. Instead of screwing it into the dash, I added some sticky tack to the underside and it works like a charm.

Don’t particularly love the company logo in the front, but for the price it can’t be beat and it looks great otherwise.

Board was well worth the money. However, when it arrived, it was warped badly enough to be nearly unusable. For me, that wasn’t a problem as my board is a display, but if someone wanted to put this board into service I would recommend returning it.

Aside from the warp though, it’s really a nice board!.

Product look’s good and is offered at great price. But it ain’t solid enough. I’m 150 pounds and the board brooked/cracked after a few weeks. Poor quality plywood I suspect.

This is a multi-functional box, not just for streaming. Buttons can be programmed to do anything your keyboard or mouse can do AND can fire multiple commands in sequence allowing for some pretty complicated actions.

Button faces can be customized with your own graphics and can even include live data. Profiles can be saved and shared with user communities. All of this makes it ideal for the Flight Simulator enthusiast or any other software with a supportive community.

Multiple pages and multiple profiles can be accessed so you aren’t limited to just the 15 buttons you see. You can have pages and pages of pre-programmed buttons. See pictures for examples.

So I bought this dash pod because I put a brush guard on the front of my truck. I put a 22″ lightbar and 2 pods on it. I was looking and looking for how I could put a couple switches in my truck couldnt find any pqnnels or anything tk achieve what I wanted I didnt want to drill into my dash or anywhere so thats what was limiting me.

I saw this and watched the video and thought it would be perfect. I’m a welder so I had an idea I got a piece of 1/16th” aluminum and got a ruff shape and made a face plate to put switches in. Overall I love this design qnd the way this product looks and sits in the truck.

Great product description and exactly what I wanted.

Install was good but the tabs to hold this in place are to small on a hot day it wasn’t holding like it should. Other than that it looks clean and with minimal modification I used my Livewire TS in place of the CS2 or whatever this pod was meant for.

When the pod cam it was bent slightly but wasn’t a problem after a few days in the heat and some bending. There is room for improvement for this pod like if it snapped in between some trim pieces which it does meet, but for 50ish $ and some imagination this can fit any device thats a square and has a flat back.

Overall Neat.

This Dash Pod is great. It integrates into the dash so perfectly. Easy Install and no visible wires. Very secure, I don’t worry about this thing dropping my tuner. I use it with a Livewire TS+.

I was out fishing in my boat one day by myself and caught the Biggest fish ever! It was on a special fishing line that was advertised never to break. Thank goodness I purchased a new pair of nail clippers at the auto parts store the day before.

With bloody hands and alone I reached into my pocket and was able to cut the line with them, never to see the monster fish again. While in the ER waiting to see the Doctor many people stopped and asked what I did to cause so much damage, tired of telling the story I just show people my nail clippers and say these are sharp!.

pros: mounting is easy because you can adjust the gauges to read up and down or left to right. they do come with red and green color sleeves. all the plumbing for the oil pressure is included and the oil pressure hose is long.

i have the oil gauge on the far left of the dash and it was able to reach all the way to the passenger side of the engine with length to spare! instructions are great cons: temp line is a bit short but not by much, never hurts to have another foot.

the gauges look like they should be in a 58 Chevy they look great and I checked them with other gauges and are accurate. (I wondered ) I would buy again. thanks Jegs ! You came through again ! ! !.

Received a gauge kit and the temp gauge had a faulty capillary tube. Contacted Speedway an they sent a replacement quickly. I will absolutely buy from Speedway again.

Bought a used 2008 Ford Edge. PO had replaced the OEM radio with Dual XVM-296 unit and left a gaping slot under it. This kit fixed that beautifully, very snug and complete fit looks great. Instructions very good but read carefully, many different applications.

Spacers supplied are fragile but the correct depth. That’s my only gripe, a kit this good should be Zytel, or something other than ABS, but at this price it works great. Very satisfied.

Very simple assembly, 95-5812 fits Ford Focus quite well, and according to the directions, it also fits a number of other Ford/Lincoln/Mercury models as well. I did need to file a little from one tab so it would fit into the socket it is supposed to pivot into (until perpendicular) but only one side need this and just a little.

Great tight fit and easy installation even when using the original Ford screws into the dashboard radio pocket. Worked well with the Pioneer FH-S501BT double DIN.

Absolutely great product! It was a little tricky to figure out how to put it together.
