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.

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.
2. Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 10mm 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 harnesses from the back of the radio. Disconnect
the antenna from the radio.
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first 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. 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) 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) Using a iSimple BAA20 antenna adaptor if needed to make
this connection.
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 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. Locate the two 14-pin female connectors on the PGHGM4 harness. Plug the
vehicle’s 14-pin and 16-pin male connectors into the PGHGM4 connectors. Plug
the male connectors of the PGHGM4 harness into the back of the radio. Plug the
Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHGM4 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.
