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.
