Important Installation Notes:
Depending on the make, model and year of your vehicle, the iSimple GateWay HD may require an antenna adaptor or adaptor kit for installation. To determine if you will need an antenna adaptor, ask your sales representative or call iSimple tech support at 866-788-4237. Antenna adaptors are available at most car audio and electronics retailers.
When adding the GateWay HD to a vehicle with rear seat entertainment, an antenna splitter may be required to retain function of the rear seat AM/FM.
Toyota, Scion and Lexus vehicles with a diversity antenna will need a small modification to the radio main power harness in order for the GateWay HD to work correctly.
Please see an iSimple sales associate, use our contact form or call iSimple Customer Service at 866-788-4237 for assistance in identifying whether these issues apply to your specific vehicle.
The iSimple SoundByte iPod integration kit is only compatible with Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep factory-installed RAK, REC or RAQ radios.
The kit includes an auxiliary RCA audio input for use with a multitude of portable devices. To convert to a 3.5mm (headphone style) input, use an iSimple IS923 PhonoWire (sold swparately).
When using the SoundByte X with an iPhone you will receive a warning message asking if you wish to put your iPhone in Airplane Mode. Simply respond "no" and you will be able to continue using your iPhone as normal.
