Chapter 1- Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PXDP iPod Interface, by
iSimple®. The PXDP is designed to provide endless hours
of listening pleasure through most vehicles’ factory radios.
To ensure that your iPod performs correctly in your car or
truck, we recommend that you read this entire manual before
attempting installation of the PXDP interface.
The PXDP interface will allow you to connect your iPod to
a factory radio that has the ability to control a CD changer.
The PXDP is designed to be used with most iPod Models
featuring the 30 pin docking port.
1.2 Precautions (Important, Please Read)
UPDATING iPod FIRMWARE
For proper operation of the PXDP, 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.
The manufacturer recommends unplugging the iPod when
not in use.To eliminate the risk of an electrical short, we
recommend disconnecting the car battery in most vehicles,
prior to installation except in the following situations:
• Vehicles equipped with on-board navigation should not
have the car’s battery disconnected. Doing so may cause
loss of memory settings. These settings would then have
to be reprogrammed by an authorized car dealer for a fee
to be paid by the vehicle’s owner. For these vehicles, we
recommend extreme caution when handling exposed 12V
power or ground wires/connectors.
