1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Peripheral Electronics

®

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 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, Velcro

TM

or zip-ties.
