Projecta Smart Relays

Modern vehicles are smarter, sleeker, and more connected than ever before.
Traditionally, accessory fitment was solved by using dashboard blanks or aftermarket switches that blended with the OE look.
But today’s vehicles — like the Ford Ranger and Everest — often provide no blanks at all, leaving installers with fewer options.
The result? Cutting into pristine dashboards, mounting unsightly panels, or weaving complex wiring looms that compromise both aesthetics and reliability.
As more manufacturers follow this path, the need for a smarter, cleaner solution has never been greater – and Projecta says this is exactly where its Smart Switching System comes into its own.
With the Single-Channel Smart Relay and Multi-Channel Smart Relay paired with the Projecta two-inch Smart Display, Projecta says bulky aftermarket switches are a thing of the past, and accessory management is placed where it belongs — right in the vehicle’s factory touchscreen.
Seamlessly integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can control lighting, power accessory sockets, air compressors, and more from the same display they already use every day.
For added convenience, the companion smartphone app also allows accessories to be switched on or off when the vehicle is stationary — perfect for setup, pack-down, or campsite use, with no drilling and no clutter.
For installers, Projecta says the benefits are immediate, stating that gone are the hours spent routing wiring to banks of aftermarket switches or troubleshooting additional failure points.
Projecta explains that a cleaner, simpler installation means faster turnaround, greater reliability, and less risk of warranty headaches.
For vehicle owners, Projecta says the transformation is even clearer: accessories are controlled intuitively, with factory-level fit and finish preserved.
The dashboard stays clean, the wiring stays minimal, and the experience feels like it was always meant to be there.
“Smart Relays don’t just replace switches — they redefine how accessories are integrated into modern vehicles. By leveraging the technology already built into today’s infotainment systems, they align perfectly with the seamless user experience drivers now expect,” Projecta Brand Manager, Jake Smith, said.
“With the Single-Channel and Multi-Channel Smart Relays, we’ve eliminated the need for bulky aftermarket switch panels — now you can control everything directly via your smart phone or through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
“It’s clean, simple, and feels like it was built into the vehicle from day one.
“The age of clunky switch panels and messy looms is over. With Smart Relays and the Smart Display working via a single communication wire, there’s no need to run bundles of cabling through the firewall — making accessory management smarter, cleaner, and future-ready. It’s time to ditch the switch.”
