The Media Gateway
does not recognize
the HD Radio tuner
(HDRT)

The HD tuner was not properly
connected when the PXAMG

was first connected and

initialized.

HDRT must be connected before the
PXAMG is powered on.
Disconnect the
PXAMG from the vehicles harness for 5
minutes. Verify the 8 pin DIN HDRT cable
is securely connected at both ends before
reconnecting the vehicle harness.

Radio shows “DEV

INIT”

Gateway device is initializing

This only occurs the first time the PXAMG is

powered on. Wait one minute, cycle ignition
off and on then enter SAT Mode.

When I listen to the
factory AM or FM radio
there is only static, no
audio.

Factory antenna cable is
connected to the HD Radio
tuner.

Use Gateway to access HD Radio source.
This will provide all AM and FM reception for
your vehicle.

No AM or FM
reception using the HD
Radio source

Factory antenna cable is not
connected to the HD Radio

Remove from factory radio, connect into
HDRT module. Note* some vehicles need to
use the supplied antenna adaptor to make
this connection.

HD Radio station

quality fluctuates or is

lost randomly

The HD Tuner is temporarily
losing reception of the Digital
HD Radio broadcast signal

This is expected performance. The Digital

higher broadcast signal strength.
