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.  
TheMediaGatewayallowsconnectivityforiPodandtheHDRadiotuner(HDRTsold  
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 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.  
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 in the passenger side of the trunk to access the  
XM Satellite Radio tuner. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors  
where you will connect the Media Gateway harness.  
3. Disconnect the factory 20-Pin harness from the Satellite Radio tuner.  
4. Connect the 8-Pin iPod docking cable into the first port on the Media Gateway  
(farthest away from dipswitches). Carefully run the 20 foot iPod cable 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 vehicle 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).  
6. Plug the male connector on the PGHHD2C harness into the 20-pin port on the  
XM Satellite Radio tuner. Next, connect the factory 20-pin harness into the female  
connector on the PGHHD2C harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not  
force it. Plug the Black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHHD2C harness into the  
PXAMG Media Gateway box.  
7. To complete the installation secure the Media Gateway (PXAMG) and HD Radio  
tuner (HDRT if equipped) into the cavity with the XM Satellite Radio tuner. 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 trunk, use zip ties,  
tape, or other fasteners to mount the interfaces securely.  
8. 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 before reinstalling the factory dash panels.  
9. 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.
