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(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, VelcroTM or zip-ties.
