Default SPOD switch location..

Need some ideas of where to place an SPOD other then over the mirror.
I've got a tuffy overhead console which is preventing me from putting it in the standard location.
Can i mount the switches vertically on the A pillar? Or maybe above the speaker to the left of the steering wheel?
Thanks
Steve

The only A-pillar mounts I've seen are 4 switch. My sPod is 6 switch and I believe they also make 8 switch ones. I saw another member a while back get the generic switch panel from sPod instead of the Jeep specific one and mount them recessed above the left speaker. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Edit: Here it is...

I'm not sure but it looks pretty easy. Cut a hole, slide them in. I would guess either pressure fit or a retainer on the back.

Edit: From this pic it looks like pressure fit...

I had a standard JK sPOD and bought this from sPOD and moved the switches over. If you want to buy a customized system I can help you out.

Default sPOD Switch location alternatives

Steve,
We do have many options but it all depends on your Jeep and what options it has. EG: Rubicon, Sahara, What year it is, etc etc.
Yes our 6 switch modular panel would fit on the left side of the steering wheel as long as you do NOT have a Rubicon.
Yes our 6 or 8 switch modular would fit under your steering wheel.

Another option is putting the modular directly into the Tuffy overhead as shown below:

The other option is our self contained 6 switch panel which can be mounted on the Tuffy overhead console.

Have been following this thread since it started. I currently have the 6-switch set up between the visors, but it's great to see some nice alternatives. I had steered clear of the tuffy overhead for the same reasoning, but i actually like the idea of either mounting the panel in the overhead or to the left of the wheel.

I'm really leaning to the left of the steering wheel. I had a dremmel incident over the summer so what better way to patch it then buying a new Spod system.
