1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the iSimple ISFM2201 as your media and hands-free integration
solution. The ISFM2201 is designed to provide the connecting link between your iPhone,
Android or Bluetooth powered device and your vehicle.

InSeam is not a simple car kit, but goes far beyond the hands-free or streaming audio by
allowing the user to fully pilot its smartphone or Tablet via Voice Recognition (VR). InSeam is
fully integrated into the vehicle steering wheel control buttons, providing a seamless
transition between radio mode and smartphone mode. InSeam allows the user to open any
application installed on the user smartphone by simply pushing a button on the steering
wheel and speak the name of the application – the commands depend on the VR application
chosen by the user.

It is now possible to hear the text messages on the car audio system, see them on the radio
display and even reply by speaking the message without touching the device. Or launch the
Navigation and hear c onfirmation by simply speaking the direction. InSeam has also parental
controls build in. Parents can disable notifications (email or text messages) based on speed
detection to avoid driver distraction.
For best results AAMP recommends the use of iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 and Android 3.0 and
higher devices.

communicating wirelessly up to 30 feet away in most cases. However metal
structures inside the dash can reduce the communication between the module and
the Bluetooth device. Please keep this in mind when installing the ISFM2201
module and ensure to place it where it will have the least obstructions from metal
objects.
