Yeah for sure. I did think it's was a little humorous that you could perceive it as:
Hey guys how can I wire in my battery isolator?
1: remove your factory ecu
2: spend 6k on an ECU and PDM
3: rewire your car
I'm also interested in aftermarket ECU and PDM
Though I think you would still use a standalone battery isolator anyway, just instead of cutting power to the ECU completely it would send a signal to the stand-alone to trigger is shutdown.
The one in that video sends signals to ECU over CANBUS and i think it works with motec. So I don't think that adding this isolator precludes or is redundant if he wanted to swithc to an aftermarket ECU/PDM or combo unit.
But I don't know the capabilities of all the PDMs so maybe some have that built in. /shrug
