I would guess...$1500 for wiring, plus add ons, would push you into the $2000 range to wire your car. Not everyone is building a show car. So, that versus a $600 harness from other manufacturer's is a no-brainer. Just my .02¢.

It depends on what you plan to do with it. If you start adding up the costs of individual controllers like fan controller, power windows, power locks, hideaway headlight controller, exhaust cutouts controller, fuel pump controller, push button start, security system, etc.. the cost starts to look more justifiable.

But each one of those individual components can be trouble shot, repaired and you can get your car back on the road using your local Auto parts store. One honey boo boo with the infinity box on the weekend and your left towing your car somewhere until you get a tech on the line. If they go out of business after the infinity box messes up your left rewiring your car again which could be costly.

I think the hot rod market is just a very small aspect of their business anyways. The sales must be slow on the commercial end? Just a guess.

I haven't heard anyone complain about the reliability of these modules, hopefully that won't be a problem. But I think that's a risk you take anytime you buy from a 3rd party vendor regardless if it's an electrical or mechanical part.

I haven't seen any announcements that they really are going out of business, but I agree that if they are it's because their core business must be suffering.

would love to hear both sides of the story here. I didn't hear of any business issues with Infinity Box and i just recieved something from them in Oct....no issues. Personally i've had great experiences with Jay and the staff but that was 2 years ago when i first installed it.

True, but those very things you're mentioning like power accessories...locks, windows, etc. can all be had in a $700 AAW or Ron Francis.

Write a complaint letter to the Illinois state Attorney General, also the District Attorney of the city the company is located in, also the Better Business Bureau of that city. I'm not saying all that is going to do any good for you but it may apply pressure on them to address your issue.

The system is pretty bad ass actually...... lots of cool features that you can program like a new car. I've had great interactions with Jay but its been a while....so I have no idea on the status of the company.

I have a never used 3 cell system, with AC control and all the bells and whistles, that is for sale...... my car project is basically dead in the water and may never get done....so I'm trying to cover my losses.

Hit me up if anyone is interested... [email protected]
