Picture of a finished Factory Five GTM wired with the Infinitybox system

Showing off inLINK in a Factory Five GTM

We have been working with a customer to finish the details of a Factory Five GTM build.  This car was wired with our 20-Circuit KitinMOTIONinRESERVEinTOUCH NETinVIRONMENT and inLINK.  Essentially, the car has the works.  It was originally built and wired by Shane Vacek at Vraptor Speed Works.  Izzy Dunn at Dunn Customz just finished the details on the car for the customer.

This video shows a walk around of the finished car.  It turned out great.  You can see the front POWERCELL mounted under the hood.

In this blog post, we want to feature one of the simplest accessories in the Infinitybox lineup.  That is inLINK.  inLINK gets you wireless control of your car or truck from a simple key fob.  You can turn on your lights remotely, pop your doors and trunk, and enable the Infinitybox security system.

Since your Infinitybox system is controlling the ignition, fuel pump and starter, we can easily stop someone from starting the car and driving off with it.   When you press the “lock” button on the inLINK key fob, we disable the ability to turn on the ignition, power the fuel pump and crank the starter.  Even if someone where able to get in the car with inLINK security enabled, the MASTERCELL completely blocks the ability to get the engine running.  The best part is that this is completely integrated into our Infinitybox system.  You do not need to buy a separate security or immobilizer system and integrate it into your wiring harness.

When you’re ready to drive the car, you simply press the “unlock” button on the key fob and you’re ready to go.

The owner of this car wanted door poppers.  They are using POWERCELL outputs to power a solenoid in each door.  They can push a button inside the car to pop these solenoids.  They also have buttons on the outside of the doors that let them pop the doors.  They also wanted to be able to pop the doors from buttons on the key fob.

All of this is very easy with the Infinitybox system.  Our team custom programmed the door popper outputs to pulse for 1 second.  The customer can push buttons on the key fob or use buttons on the door.  Very simple.

Here’s the coolest part of all.  The customer wanted buttons on the outside of the car to be able to pop the doors.  However, the customer does not want those buttons to work when security is enabled.  That is a very simple thing to do with our Infinitybox system.  As part of our custom programming, we set the MASTERCELL inputs to be disabled when security is on.  That way, no one can walk up to the car and open the doors unless they have the inLINK key fobs specifically programmed to that car.  The video below shows how this works.  You can see how security is enabled and disabled.  You can see how the doors can be popped from the inLINK key fobs and you can see how inLINK security disables the exterior switches.

Thanks to Izzy for sharing these pictures and videos.

FFR GTM with Infinitybox wiring system

GTM410 Update

We’re always getting progress updates from our customers who are wiring their cars with our Infinitybox system.  We just got an update from John M. about his progress on his Factory Five GTM.  We posted last year about this car before he took it apart to paint the body.  You can see that post at this link.  John did the paint on the body and the results are stunning.  Check out the results.

John has our full system in his GTM.  He’s using our 20-Circuit Kit as the electrical foundation.  This is powering his lights, ignition, ECU, fans, fuel pump and other electrical accessories.  He added inMOTION to control his power windows and power locks.  He added inRESERVE to protect his battery from draining.  Lastly, he added our inTOUCH NET so that he could control everything in the car from his phone or his head unit mounted in the dash.

John is buttoning up the last details on the car.  He thinks that he’s a few months away from completing everything and getting the car on the road.

Also, if you have build pictures from your Infinitybox wiring project, please send them to our team and we’ll feature them on our blog.

We received a great set of progress pictures from Infinitybox customer John.  He is building a Factory Five Racing GTM and is wiring it with our Infinitybox system.

John is using our 20-Circuit Kit to power the main functions in the car.  He also added inTOUCH NET so that he can control the car from a tablet mounted in the dash and from his smart phone.

John’s website has a lot of great pictures documenting the build of the car.  This includes lots of good information on how he wired it with our Infinitybox system.  Here’s a great picture of the MASTERCELL and the front POWERCELL located in the car.

This picture shows more detail on the location of the front POWERCELL.

The front POWERCELL is controlling the headlights, high-beams, front turn-signals, front running lights, horn, dash power and cooling fans.  You can see how close these loads are located to the front POWERCELL.  This will keep the total amount of wire needed to a minimum.

His rear POWERCELL is mounted just forward of the engine, at the back of the arm-rest.  You can see it here.

This rear POWERCELL is controlling the power to the LS7 ECU, the starter solenoid, the fuel pump and all of the lights in the back of the car.  Again, our multiplexing technology lets John eliminate a lot of the wire required in this car.

Thanks for John for sharing these pictures.

Wiring MASTERCELL Inputs to the GTM Column

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

Connect these pins to the MASTERCELL inputs:

  • Pins D, 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 Infinitybox GTM Configuration Sheet by clicking here.

Many thanks to Shane Vacek at VRaptor Speedworks for sending us this information.
