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.

enabling full control of these devices from the factory installed radio.

entertainment (if equipped).
2. Precautions
UPDATING iPod FIRMWARE
Updating the rmware prior to installation or future rmware updates for your iPod
may affect the features and functions described in this manual.

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.

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.
Please Note: If the radio is equipped with a built in CD
Changer, please remove ALL discs before proceeding to
prevent damage to the radio’s CD mechanism.
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. 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 prefrence. 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. Connect the 8-Pin auxiliary input cable to the second port (closest to the
dipswitches) on the Media GateWay if an additional auxiliary input is desired.
6. If connecting the HD Radio Tuner (HDRT sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle. Plug the 3 foot HD
Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable 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).
7. 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 ISSR11 (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 ISSR11 cable to the port
farthest from the dipswitches. Connect the gray end of this cable into the Satellite
Radio tuner.
8. If connecting the ISBT21 (sold separartely), make the folllowing
connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehichle. Plug the 3 foot
ISBT21 Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable into the rst port (farthest
from the dipswitches) on the Media GateWay. Connect the other end of this cable
into the ISBT21. Connect the microphone cable into the 3.5 mm
