Isis and abs and cruise will not go together
Isis is a sort of canbus but only works with itself

If u want to run abs and cruise use all the same setup from the same car
U will also need to run the matching engine ecu and engine

If u just want to run a motor with no other gadgets then u don't need canbus
If u want to hook up abs which is by all means not straight forward job and u want cruise
U will need to hook it exactly light it was from factory

Isis is not a canbus system like in the commodores or fords
Its a canbus from. A main control unit which accepts all the inputs
And sends signals to the power modules which turns things on and off
They can do a heap of things if u want
In a cobra I think u just don't have enough things to turn on and off to justify an Isis system but if u want so spend abit more for a slightly more tidy fusebox then use Isis
Isis system basically gets rid of chunky fuse boxes and relays and have solid state relays on board the power units
What the Isis does is great I just wish the has had designed it
As any type of wiring that comes fm the USA is shocking
If the japs designed it the way the wires come off the Isis unit would look much better
So the only fault I can find with Isis is the looks and way wires can be seen from the front

Now if u are running just a basic cobra u can easily get small fuse boxes these days
And if u want to hide things even more fit your fusebox in the boot

Another thing these days which is cheaper than Isis is racepak smart wire
Similar principle with solid state programable outputs and inputs and much nicer
Than Isis but this is one unit and wires from it have to go from it to front and back and engine
Where Isis has the power units which sit one at front and one at rear
The Isis unit cannot be programmed easily by yrself u need to get them to do it
Before u buy it
The racepak one u program yrself
