5 customers mention0 positive5 negative

Some say there's no indicator light on the fob and that the lights would be on for no reason. That said, some say it'd be awesome for exterior lights.

"...humid cold days, suddenly my LED lights on channels 1, 2, 3 are all glowing dimly even when its off, the relays must be corroding inside because if..." Read more

"...No indicator light on the fob. Just have to remember" Read more

"...On both vehicles I noticed the LED lights would be on for no reason...." Read more

Excellent Product!

I purchased this product from Amazon with the sole intention of using it like a switch from my LED fire lights. This product was easy to install, and works great! The range is very good, and the remote even feel's heavy duty. And I love how the remote has it's own on/off switch. This way if one of my kids plays with it, it's harder for them to be able to actually turn on the lights. Right now I'm only using one of the 4 switches to power my LED's, but I am planning on using one of the other 3 to turn my strobes on/off when I get them installed in a week or so. With this, I don't even have to run any wires into the cab of my Frontier to use for switches, I just hit the remote, and I'm good to go!

Updated review: The units the company is currently sending out are misbuilt and will not do momentary.

With the antenna extended on the remote but not extended on the reciever this thing has at least 200' of range.

Operation of the unit has been flawless so far. Lets hope it stays that way!

Definitely 5 stars!

Update: Purchased a second one of these on 1.27.14 and as some other reviewers stated, the product is misbuilt and does not have momentary capabilities.

The instructions that come with it state that it should but the board does not have the removable jumpers necessary to configure it to do so. I compared my old one (bought in 2012) and my new one and they definitely aren't there so heads up if you need a box that does momentary!

I kept the new box and put it into the project where I had the old one as that application does not require momentary.

Very fast shipping of a nice product.
This 4 channel remote does exactly what it is supposed to do. The remote control has four buttons to control four channels individually. The key chain remote unit also has a small switch to lock/unlock the buttons. This feature is very nice when using this system as a remote "start" module (no accidental "hitting" the buttons).
Each channel can be configured as momentary or latch on/off function.
I read in other reviews that some people had (little) trouble figuring out the wiring..... that only happens if you have no clue about automotive wiring ;). This unit has 4 colored pairs of wires. A pair will show continuity between the wires when the relay (channel) is activated and will disconnect when deactivated.
In a real world application you would run only one wire of the power supply through the relay (most likely the + wire ).
Oh and before I forget.... the range of the remote is more than adequate too. I have not even used the antenna on the transmitter or even rolled out the antenna of the receiver.

Good remote for nearly any 12VDC application.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2015

I like these things, but the buttons on the remote wear out pretty quick. I use them for Halloween props, so they get a lot of use in a month. The main button's spring action will wear out, and you won't get the confirming "click" feel when you press it. It still works okay, but you end up pushing the button even harder to be sure you're making contact. Changing the battery is a little bit of a pain. It requires a small Philips screwdriver to take the back off and expose the circuit board and everything inside. The pain part is lining everything up again when you put it back together with the new battery. It's not overwhelming, but it isn't something to do in the car or outside where a dropped screw might go missing forever.

This is the ticket laddy

If your installing offroad lights and your lazy like me and don't want to bother running wires through the fire wall, then this is the product for you.
In my case, I knew I wasn't going to use the lights that much and they were more for show, so this setup fits the bill perfectly.
Best of all, it is affordable and with 4 channels you can add more lights later.
I can see a 100 uses for this cool device to control your 12 volt items.
You could hook up 4 different 12volt devices to one of these and control them all with the handy 4 button remote.
I'm going to have alot of fun with this, as I'm sure you will too!
Awesome product so far with no issues.

This is an update after 3 months of very little use.
Water got in the control box and has failed :(
at the time of purhase i bought a spare.
So replacing the control box was easy and I relocated it in the engine compartment.
The second one worked well for a few days, then my car battery started dieing.
One night I noticed the control box was turning on the lights draining the battery down.
So this is strike 2 with this product. The places I go camping, I can't afford to wake up to a dead car battery.
When the 1st control box failed, I opened up the box and noticed the circuit card looked cheaply made and the quality was lacking.
It's too bad, I really liked the concept of this product and it fits the bill.
If the company would beef up the quality of the electronics and make the control box waterproof I would buy this product again. Until they do, this product is a crap shoot :(

A different twist to the PL-SW29

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have been searching for a four channel remote switch for the electric wheel chair lift on my Ford handicap van and found only switches that sold for $400.00 and up. We found the Pilot PL-S29 4 channel switch at Amazon and for $23.00 and some change thought what the heck have I to loose lets give it a try. We installed it this afternoon using all four channels (stow-deploy and up down) After about an hour and a half we were ready to test the remote and lift and much to my delight it works perfectly. This job was estimated at $600 to $700 at the electronic accesory shop and more then that at the mobility place. To sum it all up not only did I save a lot of money it works great as well and I would recomend this remote switch to a friend to controll any automotive accessorys. I am allready thinking about some lights for the front of the van utilizing a second PL-SW29 to controll those.
