Description
The PowerPod® MaplightPod replaces the stock maplight in the Vanagon dashboard on the passenger side. Choice of three styles, one has a white or red LED, the next has a simple USB Extension cable (that you would plug into the back of your stereo) and the last has a powered USB. All styles have a convenient switch as well. This custom designed 3D printed pod is made from durable ABS plastic.
**Please note that the brown option is NOT a match for the VW brown interior.
Please note:

Appears solid and well-made. I would give another star if the instructions consisted of more than just an electrical diagram and were oriented towards a novice like me. Since this is a swap out item, I had hoped for color or labeled photos showing how to tie into the map light’s factory wiring. An inline fuse is recommended and it would be great if one were included or prewired. I am also left to guess what size fuse to use–which may be obvious for the experienced folks.

Wire strands very thin. Difficult to insert into connectors for crimping. Great design, ‘tho, and a good fit in the dash. Happy with them (ordered 4 to give to friends). Terrific customer service

I was very happy with the products, as described. all I had to do was to connect the black wire of the LED light to the vehicles brown wire and connect the each Reds to each side of the switch Prong.

This should come with pre made jumper wires since I would thin all van with dashboard lights are wired the same.

Previously purchased USB and worked perfectly. However, we missed the light feature and now the wife can see at night when she needs to grab something. Keep up the great work we love your product.

Likewise for this little guy – not a huge issue to install – once again follow the simple diagram – easy to find the fuse connector via Amazon – Map light for real 🙂

Perfect fit! Nice upgrade. I blew a 15a fuse but replaced it with a 20a and it works great.

So close to perfect. I just wasn’t prepared for the guage of the wires. They were so thin that it was difficult for me to work with.

Very nice, would have liked a couple small wire clips to install.. Very nice gear. Really good quality well made.

This is a well made 3d piece to fit fairly tightly in the cavity for the map light. The wires are small but plenty of length to make install easy. Soldered spade connectors to wire ends to connect to stock wiring. The ground spade is much thinner in width so just filed down a standard spade to size. Used heat shrink to cover all exposed metal portions. Cool stuff, thanks for making things for the old Vans.

some wiring diagrams would be helpful

Wiring schematics are located on the product page for each item. 😉

Hi UniWerks,
the product looks great and arrived on time.
I’m not super electrical so as a comment it might be nice to have a video showing an install with the existing vanagon wiring. I will figure it out and I am excited to have a new map light.
Thank You
River
