Diode Dynamics D-Switch Hub Mounting Kit for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Give your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma a clean, purpose-built location for your accessory control system with the Diode Dynamics D-Switch Hub Mount Kit. Designed specifically for the third-generation Tacoma, this vehicle-specific mounting solution installs directly in the engine bay using existing OEM mounting points with no cutting, drilling, or permanent modification required.

The bracket positions the D-Switch Hub for convenient access while maintaining clearance around the factory fuse box and battery. Choose the Bracket Only configuration if you already have a D-Switch, or select the D-Switch with Bracket option for a complete 8-channel accessory control system.

Vehicle-Specific Bolt-On Installation

Forget about fabricating a mounting solution or searching for a suitable location under the hood. Diode Dynamics designed this bracket specifically around the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma engine bay.

The system utilizes OEM mounting points and provides an optimal location for the D-Switch Hub without interfering with the battery or fuse box. Once installed, the hub remains easily accessible whenever wiring changes or adjustments are needed.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction

The vehicle-specific mount is manufactured from 10-gauge stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. A durable powder-coated finish provides additional protection and a clean appearance under the hood.

Complete D-Switch Control Available

Select the D-Switch with Bracket configuration to add Diode Dynamics’ advanced accessory control system to your Tacoma.

The D-Switch provides eight customizable output channels, including:

• Four 30A outputs
• Four 15A outputs
• Eight customizable channels
• Dedicated backlight control
• Programmable channel assignments
• Multiple control options
• OEM signal integration

This allows you to manage compatible 12V accessories, including auxiliary lighting, from one centralized system.

Dedicated Backlight Channel

The D-Switch goes beyond a conventional 8-button switch panel by incorporating a ninth button dedicated to the backlight bus bar.

The backlight bus provides eight additional outputs for compatible accent and backlit accessories without consuming the eight primary output channels. This makes it possible to activate multiple accessory backlights together with a single command.

For Tacoma builds running several backlit auxiliary lights, the dedicated backlight channel provides a clean way to centralize accent-light control.

Dynamic Channel Assignment

Unlike traditional switch panels where each button is permanently tied to a single output, the D-Switch provides flexible channel assignment.

Multiple outputs can be grouped and assigned to a single button, allowing several accessories to be controlled simultaneously. Different functions can also be assigned to the same output, including available strobing patterns and full-power operation.

This flexibility allows you to configure the system around your specific Tacoma lighting and accessory setup rather than being restricted to a fixed button-to-output layout.

Bluetooth App Control

In addition to the included physical controller, the D-Switch can be controlled and configured through its Bluetooth app for iOS and Android.

The app allows you to customize:

• Button names
• Button images
• Button colors
• Channel assignments
• Accessory configurations

The app can also pair with up to four individual D-Switch units, providing expansion capability for more complex vehicle builds.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Compatibility

The D-Switch also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, providing convenient control through a compatible vehicle infotainment display.

After configuring the system through the Bluetooth app, your custom button layout can be accessed from the vehicle’s display. Button names, images, unit names, and colors carry over from the app for a familiar interface across the physical controller, smartphone, and compatible infotainment system.

OEM Signal Integration

The D-Switch includes trigger wiring designed to integrate accessory operation with factory vehicle functions.

A dedicated ignition wire can be connected to an OEM ignition source, allowing the D-Switch to activate when the vehicle is turned on and shut down when the ignition is turned off. The controller can still be manually activated when accessory operation is needed without the ignition.

Three additional trigger wires can integrate compatible outputs with 12V factory signals such as:

• High beams
• Fog lights
• Reverse lights

A dedicated Night Mode wire can be used for functions such as output dimming or low-light settings while also automatically adjusting controller backlight brightness for nighttime driving.

Solid-State Design

The D-Switch uses a solid-state architecture without conventional mechanical relays to wear out or physical fuses that require replacement.

The hub is encapsulated with an aluminum heatsink to assist with thermal management. Both the hub and controller carry an IP67 weather-resistance rating for the electronics, excluding wiring terminals.

Combined with the heavy-duty stainless steel Tacoma mounting bracket, the system is designed for demanding on-road and off-road environments.
