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 iPod 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 iPod, Sirius Satellite Radio tuner
(SCC1 sold seperately) and the HD Radio tuner (HDRT sold separately), enabling
full control of these devices from the factory installed radio. It also retains original
system features such as satellite radio and rear seat entertainment (if equipped).
2. Precautions
UPDATING iPod FIRMWARE
For proper operation of the Media Gateway, your iPod must be updated with the most
recent version of rmware from Apple. This is done on your computer. To update the
software on the iPod go to: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/.
Follow the directions on the website to complete the download. There is no charge for
this update.
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR IPOD.
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.
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
proceeding:
2
Radio Requirements
All 2005-2008, select 2009-2010 - All radios, navigation or non-navigation, that
feature an “AUX” or “SIRIUS” button are compatible.* In these vehicles the Media
Gateway emulates a satellite tuner, therefore it is required that the vehicle be either
equipped with an external satellite tuner or be Satellite Radio ready.
2009-2010 Navigation & Center Stack Radios – All navigation radios and non-
navigation center stack radios** that have an active SYNC system are compatible.*
In these vehicles the Media Gateway emulates the SYNC system, therefore it is
required that the vehicle be equipped with SYNC. All non-navigation radios (excluding vehicles equipped with the standard center stack radios**) that feature an “AUX”
or “SIRIUS” button are compatible.* In these vehicles the Media Gateway emulates
a satellite tuner, therefore it is required that the vehicle be either equipped with an

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 in
select 2005-2010 Ford vehicles that are either
equipped with Satellite Radio or are Satellite
Radio ready, and have an external satellite
tuner, all four dip-switches need to be OFF
(up) prior to installation.*
*In the event that iPod/HD Radio text appears on the radio
and audio is playing but control of the iPod/HD radio 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
4. Reconnect the Media Gateway interface to the vehicle
Control of the iPod from the radio controls will now be
possible.
3
4B. When installing the Media Gateway in
select 2009-2010 Ford vehicles that are
equipped with SYNC and have an internal
Satellite tuner** dipswitch 3 needs to be ON
(down) prior to installation.
** If there is a yellow Satellite Radio antenna plugged into the
radio then the satellite tuner is internal. If you are installing the
Media Gateway into a 2009 vehicle that has an external Satellite
tuner, please use the conguration for 2005-2008 Ford vehicles.
4C. When installing the Media Gateway for
use with the SCC1 Sirius Satellite Radio
tuner, dipswitch 2 needs to be ON (down)
prior to installation.
4D. When installing the Media Gateway for
use as an auxiliary input, dipswitch 2 needs to
be ON (down) prior to installation.
5. Installation
IMPORT ANT NO TE
If you are installing the Media Gateway into any of the following vehicles the PGHFD1A
harness is also required:
2008-2010 Ford Escape Non-Navigation
2009-2010 Ford F-150 Non Navigation
2009 Ford Flex Non-Navigation
2008-2010 Ford Focus
2008-2010 Mercury Mariner Non-Navigation
2009 Lincoln MKS Non-Navigation
2010 Ford Fusion Non-Navigation

1. When making electrical connections it is always recommended that the
vehicle’s battery be disconnected from the electrical system before performing
the installation.
4
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 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 24-Pin and 16-Pin harnesses from the back of the radio.
Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media Gateway
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 11 foot iPod cable behind the dash
to the location where the iPod will be mounted or stored (for example the glove box
or center console). This location will vary based on the vehicle, and the customer’s
preference. When running this cable through the dash be sure to secure it away from
moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable.
5. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the following
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) into the second port (closest to the
dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. Connect the other end of this cable into the HD
Radio tuner. *Connect the factory antenna cable into the antenna connection on the
HD Radio tuner (HDRT). *Note This connection requires the use of a Best Kits BAA9
Antenna Adapter (or equivalent; sold seperately).
6. If 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 cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din; sold seperately) into the
second port (closest to the dipswitches) on the Media Gateway. If you are installing
the Satellite Radio Tuner with the HDRT, connect the PXAMGSR cable to the port
farthest from the dipswitches. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite
Radio tuner.
7. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHFD1 harness into the 24-pin port and 16pin port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 24-pin and 16-pin harness
(if present) into the female connectors on the PGHFD1 harness. Be sure to make a
rm connection but do not force it. If you are using the PGHFD1A harness, the 4 pin
plug on this harness will connect to the 4-Pin plug on the PGHFD1 harness. The
12 pin plug on this harness will replace the current 12-pin harness connected to the
LCD screen mounted above the radio. Disconnect the factory 12-Pin harness and
do not reconnect. Plug the 12-Pin connector of the PGHFD1A harness into the LCD
display. Again make a rm connection, but do not force. Plug the black micro-t 24-pin
connector on the PGHFD1 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio
tuner (HDRT) 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 HD Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
