Well, somehow it broke. But sPod has a fantastic warranty, they serviced it and sent me back the repaired unit in 5 days.  What is even better, it has a new 5 year warranty since they fixed it. With that,  I installed an additional sPod in the rear of the beetle under the passenger seat. I did this because I wanted to wire up the heaters on my PRP seats. Yes my baja has heated seats, because I don&#8217;t have the heater tubes hooked up anymore. At least my backside will be warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/L1021715-2048x1364.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ran 14G wire from the front to the back using 2 conductor wire from amazon. Then I used weather pack connectors to keep the connections clean and secure. In the front I mounted Baja Design lights on the beam, in the rear I ran the wire out of the battery grommet and again used weather pack connectors and attached the Baja Design lights to the torsion beam. I might move them, but they provide the light I need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-1536x1019.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022801-2048x1359.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-1536x1019.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/L1022803-2048x1359.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sPod:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4x4spod.com\/products\/spod-sourcelt-mini6-universal\/?sku=SLM6UNI36\">https:\/\/www.4x4spod.com\/products\/spod-sourcelt-mini6-universal\/?sku=SLM6UNI36<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baja Designs Rock Lights <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bajadesigns.com\/products\/led-rock-light\/\">https:\/\/www.bajadesigns.com\/products\/led-rock-light\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painless Performance Weatherpack connectors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitracing.com\/parts\/prf-70402\">https:\/\/www.summitracing.com\/parts\/prf-70402<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 conductor wire from amazon <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the first things I did when I got my baja bug was to install an sPod to wire up accessories.
