1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iSimple Electronics® Media Gateway. The Media
Gateway is designed to provide endless hours of listening pleasure from your
factory radio. To ensure that your module 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 (SCC1 Sold
seperately) enabling full control of this devices from the factory installed radio.
It also retains original system features such as satellite radio and 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. We recommend that the iPod be disconnected
from the interface when the vehicle is not in use.
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.

5. Installation
1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the vehicle’s
battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing the installation.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 7mm bolts that secure the radio into
the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the
vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will
connect the Media Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory 16-Pin harness and 14-Pin harness from the back of the
radio. Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4. When connecting the Satellite Radio tuner (SCC1 sold separartely), make the
folllowing connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the black
end of the 3 foot PXAMGSR (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port
(closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the gray end of this cable
into the Satellite Radio tuner.
5. When connecting the auxiliary cable, plug the 8 pin mini-din into the port farthest
from the dipswitches. Carefully run the auxiliary cable to the location where the auxiliary
device will be stored. If you are using the RCA input it may be necessary to run the
auxiliary device’s output cable to the PXAMG location.
6. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHGM1 harness into the 16-pin port and 14-pin
port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 16-pin and 14-pin harness into
the female connectors on the PGHGM1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection
but do not force it. Plug the Black micro-t 24-pin connector on the PGHGM1 harness
into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and Satellite
Radio tuner (SCC1) into the cavity in the dash behind the radio. Be sure that the
cables and interface modules are not near moving parts or sharp metal edges as they
may damage the cables. To prevent rattling noises inside the dash, use zip ties, tape,
or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely .
9. With all connections made, reconnect the vehicle’s battery, insert the key into the
ignition, and turn the vehicle on. Check for proper operation of the Media Gateway and
Satellite Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
10. Note: The rst time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT”
while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute then cycle
the ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin normal Gateway
operation.
