DETAILS
This digital iPod Interface by iSimple is a state of the art product that allows you to directly connect your iPod (see list below) to the auxiliary input port of your factory radio. The cable that connects this to your radio is a T-harness, so it has a plug to allow you, in most cases, to retain a factory auxiliary input currently connected to the radio.
As delivered, this comes with a 30-pin iPod cable that allows connection of many Apple devices. If you have one of the newer devices with the Lightning connector, you will either have to add a 30-pin to Lightning adapter from the Apple Store or add our IPBT-30 Bluetooth receiver that connects to the 30-pin plug and lets you stream audio. (If you are thinking about the Apple adapter, be sure to read the reviews on the Apple website before purchasing. They aren't good. This interface works the way it should with 30-pin Apple products. If you choose to use it with a Lightning adapter and find it doesn't work well, that is not a defect with this interface. It is a problem with the adapter you are trying to use to modify this system and it would not be covered under warranty.) If you are interested in our IPBT-30, it is an available option in the UPGRADES section below.
This
product is capable of operating in either satellite (SAT) emulation mode
or CD Changer (CDC) emulation mode, to allow compatibility with the
maximum number of vehicles/radios. Further, it has two control modes as
well: basic and advanced. In SAT emulation mode, this works with
satellite-ready radios only. Playlist,
track
name, artist and album name are displayed on satellite-ready radios when
you
are in advanced control mode and you operate the interface from the
radio. This
includes: track up/down, playlist selection, shuffle modes, scan and
repeat.Some control is also enabled for the steering wheel controls. If you are in basic control
mode, the only
feature you can control from the radio is the volume. All other control
is from the iPod itself. Text is not displayed on the radio in basic
mode.
(See the section below, entitled Understanding Emulation and Operation, if you are confused.)If you don't have
a satellite ready radio but your radio is capable of controlling a
remote (separate from
the radio) CD Changer, you can use this
product in CDC emulation mode. You just won't get any text and controls
are limited to volume and skipping back and forth between songs. As a
general rule, radios with a
built-in CD Changer often did not have the ability to control a
remote
CD Changer as well, so you would be taking a chance ordering this for a
CD6 radio without satellite capability. Returns are not accepted for
opened items, so please keep this in mind.
(See the section below, entitled Understanding Emulation and Operation, if you are confused.)
Unlike competitor's products, this includes an auxiliary (aux) input cable so you can add another device. (mp3 player, satellite radio, CD changer, DVD player, etc). You can choose from RCA jacks OR a stereo mini plug. Or, use the port to add something cooler, like Bluetooth (with the ISBT21 kit for your iPhone - not included), HD Radio (with the HDRT tuner package - not included). Sirius satellite with the SCC1 tuner and ISSR11 cable (neither are included) or XM with the SXV200 tuner kit and ISSR12 cable (neither are included.) You cannot, however, have more than two sources connected at the same time. The iPod counts as one source, so you would have to choose between Bluetooth, HD Radio, Sirius radio, XM radio or a standard auxiliary input for the second source. (Although you could fore-go use of the iPod and use both the inputs far any two of the other options.) If you want to add Sirius, HD Radio or the Bluetooth kit, you can select it from the drop-down list below. However, we encourage you to go to the Satellite Radio, HD Radio and/or Bluetooth categories on our website to read more about these products before you select one.
Understanding Emulation and Operation
Emulation refers to the method the interface uses to
communicate with the radio:- SAT emulation
mode 'tricks' the radio into thinking a satellite tuner is attached.
The interface takes advantage of the radio's ability to receive text from a satellite tuner, so SAT emulation mode will show text on the radio screen. Obviously SAT emulation mode is more robust than CDC emulation mode but it only works on radios that are satellite ready.
- In CDC emulation mode, the radio is 'tricked' into thinking there is
remote CD Changer attached. CD Changers operate based on disc and track
numbers. There is no text. This is why there is just basic skipping
back and forth between songs when in CDC emulation mode. The radio sees
it as skipping to the next song on a CD. Not all radios are satellite capable. That's why CDC emulation mode was added. It allows for compatibility in a greater number of vehicles. But it only works with radios capable of controlling a remote CD Changer.
Operation
mode refers to the method you
use to control the iPod:- Basic operation mode uses the controls you are already familiar with.
Those on the iPod itself. This mode just transmits sound to the radio.
There is no text displayed on the radio and there is no control from
the radio, other than volume. This is regardless of what emulation mode you are in.
- Advanced operation mode allows
control from the radio and steering wheel buttons. More than just volume.
Text is also passed to satellite capable radios for display on the
screen. The iPod is 'locked' in Advanced operation mode, meaning
you can only use the radio or steering wheel controls. If you want to
use the iPod controls, you must switch to Basic operation mode.

- iPod interface module (PXAMG)
