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 firmware 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

Your vehicle MUST either be equipped with, or have the ability to support

Satellite Radio. Please visit www.isimplesolutions.comfor the most up to
