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.
4. Dipswitch Settings Satellite Radio Emulation Compatible with 2005+ Ford vehicles that are either equipped with Satellite Radio (satellite tuner must be external) or are Satellite Radio ready. ** If there is a yellow Satellite Radio antenna plugged into the radio then the satellite tuner is internal. If you are installing the Media GateWay into a vehicle that has an internal satellite tuner you MUST use SYNC emulation.
SYNC Emulation Compatible with 2009+ Ford vehicles that are equipped with SYNC and have an internal satellite radio tuner. ** If there is a yellow Satellite Radio antenna plugged into the radio then the satellite tuner is internal. If you are installing the Media GateWay into a vehicle that does not have an internal satellite tuner you MUST use satellite radio emulation. Dipswitch three on provides connectivity for iPod & HD Radio.
Steps 6, 7 & 8 apply to Satellite Radio Emulation Mode ONLY 6. Connect the 8-Pin auxiliary input cable to the second port (closest to the dipswitches) on the Media GateWay if an additional auxiliary input is desired. 7.

*** NOTE: If the selected station supports HD RADIO and the signal is strong enough the radio will auto-lock onto the HD Radio Station. The letters “HD1, HD2 or HD3” will follow the stations frequency when locked onto an HD station. The HD Radio will pick up both Digital and Analog radio signals. Multicast HD2 and HD3 stations are digital only, and will not be available if the radio signal is too far away, causing a weak signal. 2.
