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 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 (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 LOCA TION
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
Your vehicle MUST either be equipped with, or have the ability to support
Satellite Radio. Please visit www.isimplesolutions.com for the most up to date application information and to verify your vehicle’s compatibility.

4. Dipswitch Settings
After removing the radio from the vehicle, identify the manufacturer of the radio. T wo companies make the radios featured in these VW vehicles. If the model number sticker is on the side of the radio it is a Delphi brand radio. If the model number sticker is on the top of the radio it is a Panasonic brand radio.
For Delphi radios all dip switches must be in the OFF position (up) for the Media Gateway to function.
For Panasonic radios only dipswitch #2 needs to be turned ON (down), the rest must be OFF (up) for the Media Gateway to function.
5. Installation
Before installing the Media Gateway, be sure you have correctly set the dipswitches according to section four.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the wiring from the “passenger airbag light” on the dash bezel. Disconnecting this harness will cause an airbag light to illuminate in the gauge cluster which needs to be reset by a Volkswagen dealership.
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 radio from the dash of the vehicle. We recommend the use of iSimple® Part # GET (when applicable) to remove
the radio from the dash. These tools are specically designed to be used
to remove Volkswagen radios. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will connect the Media Gateway harness.
3. Disconnect the factory harness from the back of the radio. Disconnect the antenna connector from the radio.
2
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the rst port on the Media
Gateway furthest 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 may vary based on the vehicle, and 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 separately) 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 WHITE antenna cable into the antenna connection on the HD Radio tuner (HDRT). For
best performance of the HDRT use an amplied antenna adaptor to
make this connection. We recommend the use of a Best Kits BAADIN22 or equivalent. If the Tan connector is connected into the HDRT it will not receive any AM reception.
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 (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini­din; 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 the male connector on the PGHVW1 harness into the port on the back of the radio. Next, connect the factory harness into the female
connector on the PGHVW1 harness. Be sure to make a rm connection but do not force it. Plug the black micro-t 24-pin connector on the
PGHVW1 harness into the PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio tuner (HDRT) or Satellite radio tuner (SCC1) into the cavity behind the dash. 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, or electrical tape, or other fasteners to mount the interfaces to the factory wiring or installed audio components (for example under the factory Satellite tuner (if present).
3
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 or Satellite Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
10. When rst powering up the vehicle with the radio reconnected,
“CODE” may appear on the screen. This is a safety feature of the VW radio. If you see this message, DO NOT enter a code, simply let the radio sit on this screen for about 10 seconds, then turn the vehicle off. Disconnect the gateway harness from the vehicle. Reconnect the gateway harness to the vehicle. Normal operation should resume.
11. NOTE: The rst time that you access the Gateway, your radio may
display “DEV INIT” while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute the cycle the ignition off and on. Access “SAT” mode again to begin normal gateway operation.
