Chapter 1 - Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Peripheral Electronics PXDPGMT interface
for OEM radios. Designed for Video, Generation 3, 4, Mini, and Nano iPods. The PXDPGMT has three Modes of operation; Advanced, Manual,
and Auxiliary Input. Advanced Mode allows you to use your factory stereo
buttons and steering wheel audio controls (if equipped) to directly control
your iPod. In Advanced Mode the iPod text is displayed on the factory
radio. Manual Mode allows you to control your iPod directly using the click
wheel controls. Auxiliary input mode allows an external audio device to
play through your factory system.
The PXDPGMT works with vehicles that have navigation-equipped radios,
non-navigation radios, and vehicles equipped with XM satellite radio (refer
to section 2.1b for details). At the press of a button, you can switch between iPod, auxiliary input, and XM satellite radio (if equipped).
For best results, please read this entire manual before installing your PXDPGMT. Visit the Peripheral web site at www.peripheralelectronics.com
and click “Tech Dept” then “Application Guides” to access the most up to
date PXDPGMT application guide
1.2 Precautions (Important, Please Read)
UPDATING iPod FIRMWARE
For proper operation of the PXDPGMT, your iPod must be updated with
the most recent version of rmware from Apple. This is done by accessing
apple’s web site: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/.
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR iPod.
• The vehicle manufacturer recommends unplugging the iPod when not
in use.
• Do not plug in iPod until initialization is complete. Please see Section 2.2
for details.
• Prior to installation, ensure you know your radio security code.
• To eliminate the risk of an electrical short, we recommend removing the
negative terminal from the vehicles battery prior to installation.
PROPER MOUNTING LOCATION
Securely install the interface in a location free from; heat, humidity, moving
parts, sharp metal edges and direct sunlight. Secure the interface to a suitable location using; double sided tape, Velcro, or wire tires.

1.3 Compatibility Notes
This section will inform you of the specic requirements for your factory
radio to be compatible with the PXDPGMT. 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 PXDPGMT. The PXDPGMT will only work on models
equipped with the specications listed below. Please read and understand
these notes before proceeding:
Radio Requirements
Radios must have a CD and/or Tape player and must be XM compatible or
CD changer ready. This indicates that the required connection is present
on the rear of the head unit and that the radio has the necessary functionality to operate the PXDPGMT.
1.4 Harness Selection
The harness used is determined by whether or not your vehicle has an OEM
Satellite Radio tuner installed. If the vehicle has an XM tuner installed,
use the PXHGMTX harness. If the radio is CD changer ready, with or
without a CD changer use the PXHGMT harness. If the vehicle is XM
ready WITHOUT an XM tuner installed use the PXHGMT harness. If a
Factory CD changer is present the PXHGMTCD harness is required
to retain the CD changer when using both the PXHGMTX or the PXHGMT harnesses. If you do not have one of these harnesses please visit
your local Peripheral Electronics dealer. Visit the Peripheral web site at
www.peripheralelectronics.com and click “Tech Dept” and then “Application Guides” to access the most up to date PXDPGMT application guide.
Chapter 2 - Installation:
This chapter will explain how to install the PXDPGMT interface using the
PXHGMT and the PXHGMTX harnesses. Some installations require you
to make wiring connections. To eliminate the risk of an electrical short, we
recommend removing the negative terminal from the vehicles battery prior
to installation. If you do not feel comfortable making these connections, we
suggest you seek professional installation.

2.2 Initialization:
Once you have completed the installation of your PXDPGMT interface, it
is important to allow the factory stereo time to recognize the new device.
This “hand shake” period occurs when the key is rst turned-on, and lasts
for just about 5 to 10 seconds. A green LED located on the top of the PX-
DPGMT will ash during the “hand shake.” ONCE THE GREEN LIGHT
IS ON SOLID THE INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE. (NOTE: YOU MAY
NOT SEE THE GREEN LIGHT FLASH) Please do not press any buttons
until initialization is complete, or you will need to start the initializing “hand
shake” process over again by disconnecting and reconnecting the 24 pin
plug from the PXDPGMT and waiting through the “hand shake” period.
Chapter 3 - Operation:
This chapter will explain how to control the iPod from your factory radio In
Advanced Mode, Manual Mode and Auxiliary Input Mode.
Note: All factory steering wheel controls remain functional and operate the
same as the corresponding buttons on the radio. Ex: SEEK ▲on the steering
