Good timing....I was just watching the video on ISIS's website and am in the market for a harness. It would be great to hear from some of the builders here.

Jay Harris has always answered my questions. I have a setup for my car and have three friends that have them in there's no problems as of yet . You can't believe what this setup can do its endless. You should also ask over at PT.com thay have guys that have this setup,thats where the original group purchased first started. But if you have any questions Jay will be happy two answer them for you. ISIS isn't a fly by night company I believe there owned by BUSS..

I've looked at this system a couple of times... and here was my "take away". It really didn't seem to save any "wiring" or time for installs... and what it really added was being able to fade the interior lights etc...or keep your stereo on after you've turned the ignition off / until you open the door to exit etc.

So if that's not what you have in mind - i.e., bringing your project up to modern day features - then why bother... but if you think those things make your car cooler or it's just because you want stuff to work that way - then this is the ticket.

I have a system I bought for my project but have not yet installed it. I bought it for several reasons. It can handle anything electronic I can think up. It has a kind of anti-theft built into it. To me it's a much simpler way to wire a car and it can be added on to with ease.

ISIS' claim that it uses less wires is based I think on how much wiring you would need if you wanted a lof of the ISIS features and had to wire them in the traditional manner. If you're just wiring up the most common components you won't use any less wire. The ISIS system really is a much simpler and efficient way to get things done electrically though, once you get your mind around how it works.

I have no personal exerience with it, but checked it out @ SEMA last year. It seems exteremly expandable and electronic control options are almost without limit. Having said that, you could also piece together a multi-vendor system that will do most of what GW mentioned above.

John Parsons did one I believe. It was a long install, but he was generally favorable about the product. Gandalf/Gregg is doing one now - he's an IT guy and this system is right up his alley. All is right in his world...

Personally, unless something changes my mind I'm going AAW for ease of install and the fact that I don't need that many options. I'm building a hotrod, not a Dub showcar.

There's a rumor of an impending GP over on PT...

It does seem to eliminate or minimize the long wire runs to the back of the car. Rather than running individual wires all the way back, you run the one CAN cable/bundle to the rear powercell, then everything in the rear is driven by the rear powercell. Granted, with some careful planning, you can run one bundle to the back through conventional means....
