iSimple Offers Automotive iPod Docking Solutions that Provide Digital Quality Music and iPod Control Through a Vehicle’s Factory-Installed Radio
Clearwater, FL (December 4, 2008) – If you have a teen, chances are that their holiday wish list includes music and electronics. The problem is that they like to use both at the same time…while behind the wheel. Thousands of accidents a year are linked to teen drivers manipulating an iPod in traffic or on the Interstate. But, this holiday season you can get your teenager an electronic device that lets them enjoy their iPod while driving, and gives you the peace of mind of knowing they’ll also be keeping their eyes on the road: an iSimple® automotive iPod docking solution.
The pinnacle of iPod/vehicle interfacing, the iSimple® GateWay™ delivers digital quality audio from any model of iPod (including the iPhone) by emulating the signal data coming through a vehicle’s factory installed satellite radio system. Using an automobile’s original radio controls (even steering wheel controls), drivers can browse music by playlist, artist or genre quickly and intuitively through the factory radio display. And, because it uses a hardwired connection and not a FM transmitter, the iSimple kit provides battery charging for most iPod models. This iSimple kit can also be upgraded with an optional iSimple NuRadio HD HD Radio™ tuner, to provide even more in-vehicle listening options.
If your teen has an older vehicle that doesn’t feature a satellite radio feature, not a problem. The iSimple® SoundByte™ (PXDP) gives drivers of hundreds of popular 1995 to 2007 models an easy and affordable way to enjoy static-free iPod music through their factory stereo systems. Once installed the unit delivers perfect CD quality sound directly through the sound system, as well as the ability to track forward and back using the stereo’s FFWD / RRWD CD buttons. And, once again, it provides battery charging for most iPod models*.
The iSimple GateWay kit sells for between $140 and $200 for the iPod docking system and between $250 and $300 with the HD Radio upgrade unit. The GateWay is compatible with the factory systems in most late model Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Isuzu, Lexus, Lincon, Mercury, Mini, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, Scion, Toyota and Volkswagen vehicles. Professional installation is recommended.
The iSimple SoundByte kit sells for between $99 and $130 and is compatible with hundreds of models, including: Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Isuzu, Jaguar, Jeep, Lincoln, Mercury, Mini, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, Saturn, Scion, Toyota and Volkswagen. Professional installation is recommended.
All iSimple automotive docking solutions are distributed and marketed by AAMP of America™. iSimple kits are available at specialty car audio stores nationwide, as well as Best Buy, Car Toys and other consumer electronics chains. iSimple products are also available online at Crutchfield.com, Autotoys.com, Amazon.com and many more.
