iSimple® SoundByte™ Offers Battery Charging and “Track Forward – Track Back” Control Through Factory Radio
Clearwater, FL (August 10, 2008) – iSimple® now offers a line of iPod® docking interfacing kits that gives drivers of many popular 1995 to 2007 automobiles an affordable way to enjoy static-free iPod music directly through their vehicle’s factory stereo systems. In addition to crystal clear audio, these kits – the ISBM72, the ISGM73, ISFD72, ISAS71, ISCH72 and ISEU71 – also allow the user to track forward and track back on his/her iPod directly from the factory radio, as well as providing battery charging for many iPod models.
Each kit features a “brain box” (called a “SoundByte” or PXDP) and a wiring harness that plugs directly into the CD changer port in the back of a compatible vehicle’s factory-installed stereo system. Once installed (professional installation is recommended) the unit delivers perfect CD quality sound directly through the sound system, as well as the option of selecting tracks through the car stereo using the FFWD / RRWD CD changer function. Additionally, the unit does not block out clickwheel or touch screen controls, so the user can browse and select tracks as normal. And, because the connection is “hardwired” to the vehicle, the docking connection offers battery charging for most iPod models, including the iPhone®. Note: Included cable will provide docking, but not charging, for the iPhone 3G, the 4th Gen iPod nano and the 2nd Gen iPod touch. A firewire-to-USB 5v cable - the iSimple ReVolt (IS710) - that provides both docking and charging for these models will be available in early 2009.
