      New ISIS products; anyone at SEMA seeing them?

      I didn't get to go to the show this year but just got an email (that everyone else got too) from Jay about their new products; inTOUCH MAX and inTOUCH MOBILE. Anyone get to see these products in person or know anything more about them? I'd be interested in the MAX, but... I have a hard time imagining carving out space for a second double din display on my console. If this unit could double as a stereo it would be ideal, but without that, I think it may be hard for me to justify. Anyone else?

      I talked to Jay for quite a while today - the new iPad/iPod controller is AWESOME! Now you can control your entire ISIS System via your mobile (droid coming soon) - a heck of a great idea!

      For me the Droid/iPhone/iPad thing is more of a novelty than anything that I would use with regularity; the touchscreen interface, hower is another story. It would allow me to do away with all the buttons I haven't even ordered yet, as well as the switches, etc. It would greatly simplify my wiring beyond the point that Isis will have already taken it. But if I will have to have two double dins, then I don't see it being very useful. But maybe that is just me.

      rossmacd, I agree. inTouch Mobile is a neat idea but not where it's at for me. I want the inTouch Max but I want more details on how far the system can go, i.e. double as a Nav/CD/Stereo, among numerous other things that I know it's competition can or will be able to do. I won't have two double din units in my dash. I also emailed Jay almost as soon as I got the email announcement about the products. Considering where he is and what's going on, I highly doubt I'll be hearing from him any time soon.

      James, did you get any details on inTouch Max and what it's capabilities are?

      Both units are on their site. Info seems to be limited at this point...

      I think that needs to be remedied. Maybe they will make just the software available, so you can do a carPC kind of thing and have it function the same, only using your own hardware instead of their supplied stuff. That would probably be the most likely scenario.

      Agreed rossmacd! I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by not building in the "option" for that functionality. We've already been talking about new stuff coming from an ISIS competitor in this market and they can do it and seemingly so much more, so...

      I too have contacted Jay regarding these products. Havent heard back yet either.

      I have the same concerns as you guys about navigation and audio controls on the Intouch Max. After some investigating, I've determined that I'll be using the Intouch Mobile product. My plan is to integrate an Ipad intouch the center of my dash. The Ipad will be used as a navigation system, Audio/Video controls, Internet surfing and now ISIS controls. The plan is to mold it into the dash and make it removable. This way I can either have controls in the car or use it wirelessly outside the car!
      An Ipad with 3G and Wifi can be purchased for about $650 along with the $250 Intouch Mobile software for a grad total of $900. The same price as Intouch Max with all the extra features I need. Going this route also allows me to use the display with any other apple apps! I think its pretty much a no brainer!

      I just want to make sure the features available on the Intouch Max are available in the Intouch Mobile software.

      Just my two cents.

      That sounds like it could be a good solution; check out mp3car.com; they do alot of carPC stuff and there is a ton of info on there about how to integrate a computer, including fab tips.

      My only issue with the Mobile is that I don't like the idea of fiddling with a phone, even if it is mounted in a cradle or whatever; it's just too small.

      If you use a!n Ipad and not an Iphone then you dont need to worry about screen size.

      The 9.7-inch high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching HD movies, TV shows, podcasts, music videos, and more.

      Just found 2 Ipads on line, one is a 16 gig with wifi the other is a 64 gig with wifi and 3g. I want the 64 gig, do I need it? This will control my system with In Touch mobile.
      Here are some more videos I found!
