ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System

[DOOM]

This is the only way to go! Great system great support! Jay's a great guy to talk to...

We're going to try to see if we can come up with a suitable program to control the wiper motor... multi-speed wipers without a multispeed box...

So basically you don't need to get something like a SPAL PWM controller then.
Interesting.....does the standard 3 piece kit (1 Mastercell and 2 Powercells) for $999 handle this ??
Or is there something else you have to purchase in addition to get that functionality ??

The Wiper motor pulsing too ?? Now that's cool.

Standard 2 PowerCell kit does it no problem, assuming you have a trigger signal for the fan (thermostat or ECM). You can go one further with the idea as well - you can have a manual fan swtich that you could leave on all them time (if you wanted) and program the MasterCell to (a) allow the ECM to override the manual switch if the car is running (ie. engine running - fan is controlled by the ECM - off and on) and then (b) rely on the switch (off - on) if the engine is not running and (c) if it's on, keep the fan running for 5 minutes and 15 seconds (or whatever you want) after the engine is shut off. I'm not positive but I think that with the new systems, it might be possible to program in a safety shutoff if the voltage drops to a dangerously low level as well.

You can do something similar with the interior lights - (a) interior light switch overrides all other (ie doors) for off and on and (b) if door opens, interior lights come on gradually from off to full on in 2 seconds and (c) when door closes interior lights shut off in 15 seconds and in the last 2 seconds gradually go from full intensity to off unless (d) the engine is running in which case they fade off with no delay but (e) if one or both of the doors is open for more than 5 minutes the lights automatically shut off unless (f) the engine is running or (g) the switch is on.

All this is easily doable with the standard 2 PowerCell kit (which gives you 20 switchable outputs). I only have a 2 PowerCell kit in the '67 and still have 3 available outputs so anyone who thinks they need 3 PowerCells (30 switchable outputs total) is not doing anything even remotely close to a "basic" installation.

Do you have power windows? If so how did you wire them?

I do. I just used the Electric Life harness but will be converting to the InMotion cell once we are done with the One Lap event.

Cool thing though - if you incorporate some tech in the build of the car... IF you were to (a) use late model 'vette door handles or (b) were particulary confident in your door switches you could (probably) incorporate a "crack the glass" feature on the door glass when you opened and closed the doors. Not sure why you would want to with a non flush-mount glass application, but a neat example of how the ability to program the ISIS unit can give you some features that no other system can.

The group buy is still available. Contact me if your interested [email protected]
Please pass the word along to any of the other forums regarding this offer by ISIS. The deadline to take them up on these discounts is March 1st.

Over 30 buyers so far!

[jonfarrugia]

I just got an email from Jay at ISIS. He just confirmed that there have been 20 confirmation emails recieved by the sales team so far!! We need 10 more buyers to get full discounts. Spread the word…post on other boards…let’s get another 10 buyers! Only a few days left until the deadline!

John,
Do folks know that sending an email to ISIS w/ the parts you're interested in doesn't obligate you to purchase if you don't like the final discount? It only gets you "in the queue" to receive the discount once it's set. So anyone on the fence waiting to see what happens, it'll be too late - send in your request, otherwise you won't qualify for the discount. They're strict about that too - I was a couple days late on the last one and was out of luck.

Good Call Dave!

This is true. The Deadline is tomorrow night. Send in your email to ISIS now to get in on the discounts. Dave is correct that even if you send in your email you are under no obligation to purchase if you don't like the discounts. So don't miss out.

To participate in this group buy you need to email [email protected]. You should put Group Buy in the subject line, list what you want to order.

If you can do me a favor and blind copy me on your email to ISIS as well, I would appreciate it. This will allow me to keep track of who we have participating also. My email is [email protected] . Thank you all very much for participating and making this happen. If you have any questions please let me know.

Don't let this one pass you buy!
