How to wire the Ron Francis Pull-To-Start Switch into the ISIS MASTERCELL...

Here's the answer to another recent customer question. 

They want to use the Ron Francis IS-17 SYNERGY SERIES Pull to Start Switch and connect it to the ISIS MASTERCELL to start their car.  This is pretty straight forward.  This link will take you to their instructions for the switch and the descriptions for the terminals. 

This is a very slick switch that can add a unique touch of elegance to the way you start your car.

The “B” terminal should be connected to ground. You can use one of the black wires on the MASTERCELL or just connect it directly to the chassis.

Input 3, the white wire with the blue tracer on the MASTERCELL A connector should be connected to the “I” terminal. Input 4, the white wire with the yellow tracer should be connected to the “S” terminal. If there are any inputs that you want on with ignition, but not when the engine is cranking, connect these inputs to the “A” terminal on the switch.

When you pull the switch out to the first position, the ignition output on the POWERCELL will turn on. When you pull the switch past the first position, the starter output on the POWERCELL will energize and the engine will crank. After it turns over, you release the switch and it will pop back to the first position and the engine will be running. Press the switch back in to shut down the engine.

It is pretty straight forward, actually it wires a lot like a traditional ignition switch but it offers a unique touch to starting your car.  The added benefit with using ISIS with this switch is that you can add our inLINK RF upgrade to get security for your ignition and starter.  You can completely eliminate any keys for the car and use your car fob to immobilize it. 

How to Wire the C5 Corvette Column for a GTM with ISIS...

A few people have asked this lately so we'd thought that it was best to have this up on the forum. 

For all of those guys building a Factory Five GTM with the C5 Corvette steering column, here is how you connect the ISIS MASTERCELL inputs to the column harness. 

Connect these pins to the MASTERCELL inputs:

• Pin D - Connect to ignition switched Ground
• Pins Z, X & W - Connect to Ground
• Pin V - Horn input to MC
• Pin R - Park lights input to MC
• Pin L - Low Beam input to MC
• Pin K - High Beam Input to MC
• Pin G - Left Turn Input to MC
• Pin F - Right Turn Input to MC

Depending on which turn-signal style you want (1-filament vs. multi-filament), refer to your configuration sheet for the specific wire colors.  You can download the ISIS GTM Configuration Sheet by clicking here.

Pratt & Miller Valiant Cleans up at the Cleveland Autorama...

We posted before about the 1962 Valiant that Pratt & Miller built for a customer.  This is a truely unique car that completely cleaned up at the 2011 Cleveland Autorama last weekend.  They won first place in:

• Street Touring Class

• Outstanding Street Machine

• Outstanding Engineered

• Outstanding Interior Street Machine

Check out the video that they just posted. 



We've worked on the car with them and it deserves all of these accolades.  Their ISIS install is pretty straight forward.  They're using our 3-Cell Kit with inLINK with a few simple code changes. 

Watch for this car to be featured on the cover of the June issue of Hot Rod magazine. 

Read ISIS Coverage in the May Issue of Car Craft...

Okay guys,

We posted the article that Car Craft did in the April issue on the 99 Tricks Camaro that Muscle Car Restorations built in Chippewa Falls, WI. 

There is a great article in the May 2011 issue that actually documents the install of the 3-Cell Kit and inMOTION in the Camaro.  You can read it here and see the pictures at this link. 

Many thanks to Mark Ehlen for writing the article and shooting the photos.
