    Hi Tim. Jut a suggestion after watching the end. Maybe show the correct flashing LED format/options to confirm all is well?

    I have your D4-2U system recently fitted (no winch requirement), and unless I'm missing something, the dash flashing LED is a bit different to my previous D2 USI 160 with winch arrangement, and I didn't find any further info on your website. Just to clarify, I'm getting a 2 per second red LED flashing.

    Hi Gavin, can you phone me tomorrow, something does not sound right.

    To your suggestion, as soon as I have the full video done of the D4-5S installation, I will be making videos of how the SC80, DT90 and the USI160 work.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Tim,

    This looks good to me as I have only just got my kit and getting ready to install it in the next week or two (just have to go to town and get a battery) so this is appreciated immensely. Once I have completed my install will give an update.

    just one...

    might want to consider going bullets and spades... going spade/spade but reversing the male/female for polarity control can lead to some very fuse blowing moments when something gets pulled out and someone else decides to start connecting things.

    Hi Dudela, I actually rushed to unfinished video to help someone who can not get access to PDF files.

    So if it helps you as well, mores the better.

    As soon as I can, I will post up the full narrated version.

    Thanks Dave.

    Over the years I have tried a number of different connection methods but so far, these are proving the most reliable.

    Hi Tim,
    It’s a nice trip down memory lane having installed my Traxide system years ago. I think this will be a great tool for a new installer but it’s hard to see exactly what you’re doing at times. I presume you will be adding audio at one point and this will probably clarify things. It’s fairly long so I think you could consider having chapters and cross referencing them to pages in the manual so people can pause and get more detail if required.

    I remember a lot of my early questions were around how do I add a Anderson plug for a fridge, how to charge a battery box, how to add additional USB sockets, powering a UHF, adding a fuse block, adding a battery monitor etc. Might be nice to make a short video on optional extras or make modular wiring looms available on the website for those not to confident in auto electrics.

    Keep up the good work and thanks for all your help over the journey.
    Cheers
    Dean

    Thanks Dean and the Accessories Video is a great idea.

    The existing video will have a voice-over track added and it is a bit long but I can not cut much out of it.

    This is why I intend to make a separate video on the isolators themselves and how they operate.

    Again, great idea about the Accessories and might even make it a problem solver as well.

    Thanks again.
