Radio Requirements
Radios that feature a “SAT” button are compatible*. 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 Media Gateway.
*Vehicles that are equipped with a Double-DIN radio that has a built in six-disc
CD changer are NOT compatible. Please refer to www.isimplesolutions.com for
the most updated application guide.
4. Dipswitch Settings
All 4 dipswitches MUST be set in the OFF (up) position for proper operation.
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 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 20-Pin harness from the back of the radio. Disconnect the
AM/FM antenna from the radio.
5. Connect the 8-Pin mini-din iPod cable into the first port on the Media Gateway
(furthest 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
preference. 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 you are installing the HDRT HD Radio tuner (HDRT sold separately): Make the
following connections before connecting the PXAMG to the vehicle. Plug the 3 foot
HD Radio Cable (8-Pin mini-din to 8-Pin mini-din) cable 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). Some vehicles may require the use of a Best Kits
BAA26 antenna adapter to make this connection.
6. Next, plug the 20-pin male connector on the PGHSB1 harness into the back of the
factory radio, then connect the factory 20-pin harness into the female connector on
the PGHSB1 harness. Be sure to make a firm connection but do not force it. Plug
the black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the PGHSB1 harness into the PXAMG Media
Gateway box.
