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 Sirius Satellite Radio (SCC1 sold
seperately) enabling full control of this device from the factory installed radio.
It also retains original system features such as satellite radio and rear seat
entertainment (if equipped).
2. Precautions
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE
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 12-Pin harness (if present) from the back of the radio.
Disconnect the antenna from the radio.
4. When 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. Connect the gray end
of this cable into the Satellite Radio tuner.
7. Plug in the male connectors on the PGHTY1 harness into the 12-pin port on the
back of the radio. Next, connect the factory 12-pin harness (if present) into the female
connector on the PGHTY1 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not
force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHTY1 harness into the
PXAMG Media Gateway box.
8. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and Satellite
Radio tuner (SCC1) 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.
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
Satellite Radio tuner before reinstalling the factory dash panels.
10. Note: The first time you access the Gateway, your radio may display “DEV INIT”
while the device is initializing. If this is displayed, please wait one minute then cycle the
ignition off and on. Then access SAT mode again to begin normal gateway operation.
