1. Introduction
Thank You for purchasing the iSimple ISBT21 add-on Bluetooth® module
for the GateWay. This device is designed to plug into the GateWay
(sold separately) and provide a Bluetooth connection for your iPhone.
The ISBT21 enables you to connect your iPhone wirelessly to your
factory audio system so your phone conversation plays through your
automobile’s speakers. Operation includes features such as: answer/
reject incoming call, call waiting, privacy mode and A2DP streaming
audio.
(iPhone MUST have firmware 3.0 or higher. First generation
iPhones do not support A2DP streaming audio)
2. Compatibility
To ensure proper operation please verify that your GateWay is
updated with the latest firmware. Please visit
www.isimplesolutions.com for firmware updates and compatibility
information.
3. Installation
When using the ISBT21 in any Ford/Lincoln/Mercury application,
dipswitch number two MUST be switched on (down) on the PXAMG
in order for the ISBT21 to be recognized.
The GateWay must be disconnected from the vehicle and allowed to sit
for no less than five minutes before installing the ISBT21. The vehicle
wiring harness may be left in place, but MUST BE DISCONNECTED
from the GateWay interface before installing the Bluetooth Module. After
you have disconnected the GateWay and waited at least five minutes,
connect the 8-pin to 8-pin DIN cable into the first port on the GateWay
(farthest from the dipswitches). Connect the other end of the cable into
the ISBT21 module. Be sure each end makes a secure connection, but
do not force it. Decide on a mounting location for the microphone either
on the headliner or overhead console. Avoid placing the microphone by
the side windows to eliminate extra noise. Carefully run the microphone
cable down into the dash where the ISBT21 is to be installed.
When securing the ISBT21 into the dash of the vehicle, placement of
the interface is very important. Bluetooth technology supports devices
communicating wirelessly up to 30 feet away in most cases. However
metal structures inside the dash can reduce the communication
between the module and the Bluetooth device. Please keep this in mind
when installing the ISBT21 module and ensure to place it where it will
have the least obstructions from metal objects.
With all wiring connected, reconnect the GateWay to the vehicle
harness.
After all connections have been made, start the vehicle and enter
satellite radio mode to access the GateWay and use the Bluetooth
Module.
