ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System

[jonfarrugia]

I have come across a car wiring system that is leap and bonds ahead of the way we currently do it. I am currently in the process of building a custom car with a dodge viper twin turbo engine capable of producing 1000hp. The process can be found here: http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181312
I saw this system and now I need it! I got so excited that I contacted the president of the company and asked of he would be interested in providing a volume discount if enough people where interested. He agreed! Last year a volume discount was offered through http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sho...highlight=isis it was almost 30% off. If your interested in this then shoot me a PM. More people that are interested, the steeper the discounts!

***Volume pricing is in. PM me for the Details***
The group pricing is only available until March 1st

Post any question and anwser regarding the ISIS – Intelligent Multiplex System.

Some questions and answers on Chevelle Tech for those interested.

Sounds like most cars require the 2 Powercell and 1 Mastercell ($999) plus an additional Powercell ($349)
So right off the bat this base system is approximately $1350 which is 3x the cost of the competitors.
All the added bells and whistles are going to require additional ISIS control modules and parts you have to purchase it seems.

For the remote start and security system it's a $179 addition for the key fobs, which is close to what most alarm systems cost without install.
http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/viper5901.aspx < 2 way Viper system you can get for $219

however the ISIS system remote has 16 possible functions, and can control just about ANYTHING it seems.

If you are looking to wire up a basic car then I agree this system isin't for you. However, if you like to be incontrol and have all your functions at your finger tips then this system has all the bells and whistles and with the group discount this offer cant be missed!

FYI: The group rate is only available untill March 1st. If you need details please PM me.

i dont get it!

i mean will it do away with all the relays.. what about turnsignals.. do you program the frequency? hi lo beams etc??

Yes, it will do away with the relays. Each output is capable of handling 20 amps. so you could run your high beams directly from the power cell. A cool feature is that you can pulse the outputs at a high speed which will dim your headlights. So you could run your headlights with full power at night and then run them at half power during the day as day time running lights! You could conect any light, like your interior lights, and control the intensity. As you leave your car the interior lights could stay on for 60 seconds and then slowly go dim. The possiblities are endless!

All your turn signal flashing can be programmed through the system too. Hi beams...Low beams... flash frequency...it does it all.

So what about electric fans that require more then 20amps on startup ??
Will this blow a circuit on the powercells ??

$5 relay VS $350 powercell.....hmmm....
I think I like the complete American Autowire options for $400 myself.

No problem - the ISIS programming lets you use a soft start for fans and headlights. Coupled with the ability to vary the output its a great feature that you can't get with an off the shelf system.

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...

THAT is a nice feature..
i have a question, if th eengine has dual fan controll built in to the ecu... do i connect the fan enable (wich is pull to ground) to the ISIS and program 2 outputs, one for each of the fan motors?

That is the way that I wired mine. You don't neccessarily have too but the biggest benefit of running it through the ISIS MasterCell is that you can add additional triggers/controls for each fan. For instance, you can have each fan temperature controlled by the ECU, then you could have a second trigger for the second fan running from the AC and you could have a second trigger for the first fan as a manual switch in case you want to override the ECU or run the fan when the car is off. Likewise, you could add an override switch to shut the fan off regardless of what the ECU is telling you - for instance if you are racing the car (and don't want the draw) or if you want to control/override the fan based on speed or RPM.

The great flexibility that ISIS gives you is that you can have IF - THEN programming regardless of what the base system wants to do. For instance, most of the new OEM cars shut the electic fan off over 35 mph (or something) since the electric fan isn't doing anything useful at speed anyways. You can, with a little bit of thought, program your EFI engined swapped or even carbed setup to do the same.
