1. Introduction

Thank You for purchasing the iSimple ISBT21 add-on Bluetooth®

module for the GateWay (uPAC). This device is designed to plug into the

GateWay (uPAC) (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 (uPAC)

is updated with the latest firmware. Please visit

www.isimplesolutions.com for firmware updates and compatibility

information.

3. Installation

The GateWay (uPAC) 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 (uPAC) interface before installing

the Bluetooth Module. After you have disconnected the GateWay

(uPAC) and waited at least five minutes, connect the 8-pin to 8-pin

DIN cable into the first port on the GateWay (uPAC) (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 20 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 (uPAC) to the vehicle

harness.

After all connections have been made, turn the ignition on in the

vehicle. Wait 1 minute for the device to initialize. Cycle ignition OFF,

and ON again. Enter Satellite radio mode to access the GateWay

(uPAC) and use the Bluetooth Module.
