1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iSimple ® MediaWire™. This product is designed
to provide endless hours of listening and viewing pleasure from your factory
or aftermarket entertainment system. To ensure optimal performance of the
MediaWire™ we recommend that you read this entire manual before beginning the
installation of this product. The MediaWire™ provides connectivity between your
iPod/iPhone and any audio or audio/video source that accepts RCA connections.
The audio from the attached device will be passed through the cable into the
radio’s auxiliary Audio or A/V input. Note: many factory radios require an auxiliary
input device to accept an RCA connection. For video output, an iPod/iPhone with
video capability is required.
The MediaWire™ will also charge your iPod/iPhone while connected.

2. Precautions
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR MEDIA PLAYER
Installation of this product requires 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/iPhone be disconnected
from the cable when the vehicle is not in use.
3. Installation
1. Using a voltmeter identify a 12V+ wire and a ground wire
2. Connect the red wire on the MediaWire™ to the 12V+ constant power wire (or you
can connect the MediaWire™ red wire to a switched accessory wire to provide battery
charging only when the vehicle is running).
3. Connect the black wire on the MediaWire™ to ground. Depending on the vehicle this
may be a wire or the chassis.
4. Plug the male RCA connector ends of the MediaWire™ into the receivers auxiliary
audio or A/V input.
5. Choose a convenient mounting location for your iPod, or iPhone. This is typically a
glove box, center console or mounting cradle.
6. Run the docking cable and RCA connectors to the desired mounting location. Use
caution to not cut, pinch to crimp the cable during this step.
7. Securely install the cable in a location free from heat, humidity, moving parts,
or sharp metal edges. We recommend securing the MediaWire™ to a suitable
location using double sided tape, Velcro TM or zip-ties.
