1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iSimple® Media Gateway. The Media Gateway is
designed to provide endless hours of listening pleasure from your factory radio.
To ensure that your SCC1 satellite radio tuner performs correctly with your radio,
we recommend that you read this entire manual before attempting installation of
the Media Gateway.
The Media Gateway allows connectivity for Sirius Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold
seperately) enabling full control of this device from the factory installed radio. It also
retains original system features such as rear seat entertainment (if equipped).
2. Precautions
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE
Some installations require you to make wiring connections. To eliminate the risk of an
electrical short, we recommend disconnecting the vehicle’s battery prior to installation.
If you do not feel comfortable making these connections, we suggest you seek
professional installation.
PROPER MOUNTING LOCATION
Securely install the interface in a location free from: heat, humidity, moving parts, sharp
metal edges or direct sunlight. We recommend securing the interface to a suitable
location using: double sided tape, VelcroTM or zip-ties.
3. Compatibility Notes
This section will inform you of the specic requirements for your factory radio
to be compatible with the Media Gateway. These notes will inform you of any
issues or circumstances that can affect the compatibility of our product with your
radio, audio system, or accessories. Not all factory radios are compatible with
the Media Gateway. The Media Gateway will only work on models equipped with
the specications listed below. Please read and understand these notes before

4. Programming the Media Gateway
(PXAMG)
The Media Gateway may need to be programmed before installation. To program
the interface you will need to set the dip switches located on the side of the interface
to the proper conguration listed below. Prior to installation the switches are in their
default setting of “off” in the up position and are turned “on” when switched down.
Refer to the chart below.
4A. When installing the Media Gateway for
use with the SCC1 Sirius Satellite Radio
tuner, dipswitch 2 needs to be ON (down)
prior to installation.
*In the event that Satellite Radio text appears on the radio
and audio is playing but control of the Sirius tuner from the
radio buttons is lost,
1. Disconnect the Media Gateway from the vehicle harness
2. Switch dip-switch #1 to the ON position
3. Wait ve minutes

Control of the iPod from the radio controls will now be
