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 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.

Carefully remove the trim panels covering the 10mm bolts that secure the radio into the dash cavity. Remove these bolts, and carefully pull the radio from the dash of the vehicle. This will provide access to the factory radio connectors where you will connect the Media Gateway harness. 3. Disconnect the factory 16-Pin harnesses from the back of the radio.

When running this cable through the dash be sure to secure it away from moving parts or sharp metal edges that may damage the cable. 5.
