Okay Folks,
This is the last video in our inMOTION Motor Controller Cell series. This one shows you how to connect inMOTION into a standard 2 or 3-Cell Kit, how to connect the outputs and how to train the cell.
inMOTION gives you a much simplier way to wire electricals functions that need to be polarity controlled. This includes wiring window lift motors, lock solenoids, convertible tops, linear actuators and headlight covers. Check out the video here.

ISIS inMOTION Demo Video- Part 2
Okay...
Here is the second video in our ISIS inMOTION Motor Controller Cell series. This one goes through more details on how inMOTION can simplify wiring car functions that need to have polarity reversing. This includes things like wiring window motors, lock solenoids, convertible tops, linear actuators and headlight covers.

ISIS inMOTION Demo Video- Part 1
Okay Folks,
We're producing a lot of videos to show you the specific functions of the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System. That way we can show you exactly how ISIS can help you simplify wiring your car. We just finished a series of clips on our new ISIS inMOTION Motor Controller Cell. There are three in the series.
inMOTION is an accessory that seamlessly integrates into our 2 or 3-Cell Kits. It gives you complete control over electrical accessories that need to have polarity reversing to make them work correctly. This includes things like window motors, convertible tops, lock solenoids, linear actuators and headlight covers. I demonstrate the system using the setup that we created for the 2010 National Street Rod Association show. Watch the video here.

Wiring a Ford Mini Starter...
Okay Guys,
We get asked this question a lot. To use the Ford remote starter solenoid or not to use, that is the question.
The standard architecture in the Mustang is to use the remote solenoid to switch the power going to the coils of the solenoid integrated into the Mini Starter. This is a remnant from when Ford did not integrate the solenoid in the starter. If you think about what is going on here, you are using a switch (the key) to send power to one solenoid (the remote solenoid) to send power to a second solenoid (the one integrated into the starter assembly).
If you wanted to wire the system with ISIS the same way as the original schematic, you would connect the starter output on the POWERCELL, usually the light-blue wire, to the coil terminal on the remote solenoid. When the MASTERCELL sees the starter switch close, the POWERCELL sends power to the remote solenoid, which sends power to the solenoid on the Mini Starter. This link will take you to the schematic in our reference library that shows how to wire it the Ford way.

A lot of guys use this approach because it is how it was done in the car originally. Some customers have also told us that they like this approach because it gives them a stud that is easy to access to connect constant 12-volt cables.
The easier way to do this is to connect the output on the POWERCELL directly to the starter terminal on the starter assembly. That way when the MASTERCELL sees the input from the ignition switch, it commands the POWERCELL to send power to the integrated solenoid, which cranks the motor.
The power going to the starter solenoid looks no different to ISIS than a headlight or a door popper. As far as we can tell, Ford is the only OEM that uses this separate solenoid to power the starter solenoid.

Thanks to all for Visiting ISIS Power at the NSRA Show...
Okay Guys,
We're mostly caught up after spending most of last week in Louisville for the NSRA Nationals. I still don't know the final number, but they were estimating that there would be about 14,000 cars there on Saturday. I was on street-rod-overload by the time we packed up the truck on Sunday.
We had a chance to meet and talk with a lot of great people in the booth. Many existing customers and fans came by plus lots of new faces that wanted to learn more about how ISIS can help them simplify the wiring in their cars.
The NSRA is an interesting group because of the variety of cars that the members own. From very simple open-top hot rods to complicated lead sleds with power everything, ISIS has a place in all of these cars. We talked to guys with rat's nests of wire that need a way to simplify their electrical systems. Many other guys came to us because they were looking for that unique function in their car that would make it stand out from the others.
Our new inMOTION Motor Controller Cell was very well received. This cell is a very logical extension to our basic MASTERCELL and POWERCELL. Guys were blown away with how simple it can be to wire window motors, lock solenoids, convertible top motors and linear actuators. This is functionality that you just can't get with a traditional automotive wiring harness.
Thanks for all who came by the booth. Now it is time to get ready for SEMA.
Watch the NSRA website for pictures from the event.

New Configuration for ISIS 2-Cell Kit with V10.7
We have a new software configuration for our ISIS 2-Cell Kits. Based on feedback from guys installing this particular version of the kit.
Our 3-Cell Kit is our most popular. Guys use this to wire everything from restorations, to street rods, to hot rods, to rest mods, to kit cars, to off-road vehicles.
At the same time, there are cars that are very basic. Guys want the flexibility and power of wiring their car with ISIS but don't need all 20 outputs. This includes racing, basic hot rods and tuners. The 2-Cell Kit is the answer to these wiring problems.
Just like the 3-Cell Kit, the 2-Cell Kit gives you everything that you need to wire head lights, turn signals, ignition systems, starter solenoids, fuel pumps and parking lights. Instead of 2 POWERCELLs, you are wiring to one for a total of 10 switched outputs.
The new configuration is in version 10.7 of the ISIS code and arranges the outputs exclusively on the A connector so there is no need to use the second input harness on the MASTERCELL. This simplifies wiring the switches. You can check out the configuration sheet here.
You can also see all of the different configurations that we offer for the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System in the Reference Library section of our website under the Owner's Manual section.

Updated GM-Steering Column Wiring Diagram...
Okay Folks,
We just posted a new application note showing how to connect the ISIS MASTERCELL to any GM-style steering column.
This includes wiring for the horn, turn-signals and 4-way flashers. This schematic also shows how to wire in the turn-signals so that they only operate when the ignition is on. You can get the PDF of this application note at this link.
There are many other application notes that will help you wire your car with the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System. Check them out in our reference library.
