Apple Certified Interfaces use RCA Inputs to Give Consumers Digital-Quality  Music, Battery Charging and Even Video* from any model iPod® or iPhone®

Clearwater, FL (November 18, 2008) – iSimple is proud to announce the availability of two new interface solutions that provide a direct, hardwired connection between any model of iPod or other portable media device and aftermarket or factory sound systems featuring RCA inputs. The iSimple PolyWire (IS75) and iSimple MediaWire (IS76) – designed and created by the OEM integration gurus at Peripheral Electronics® – allow consumers to enjoy 100% crystal clear music from any model iPod or iPhone (and in the case of the IS76, audio and video) through any headunit or in-car entertainment system featuring RCA inputs.

Currently available to dealers and retailers in the US and Canada, the PolyWire and MediaWire (both MSRP: $49.95) are both incredibly easy to install (although professional installation is recommended) and provide drivers with the flexibility they need for today’s increasingly on-the-go lifestyle. The iSimple PolyWire is designed for the busy music enthusiast in mind and offers an iPod docking cable, as well as a 3.5mm headphone-style audio input for other portable audio devices like handheld GPS, portable satellite tuners or other mp3 players. The iSimple MediaWire does not offer the additional audio input, but it does give consumers the option of enjoying both music and video from any iPod through their in-car entertainment systems. Plus, both the PolyWire and MediaWire provide battery charging for all iPod and iPhone models, including the iPhone 3G, and new versions of the iPod nano and iPod touch.


Unlike other available iSimple kits available that utilize an emulator (the iSimple GateWay for example) the iSimple PolyWire and iSimple MediaWire connect directly to the radio via RCA-style inputs. So, while they do not support iPod function through a vehicle’s factory radio controls like other iSimple kits, the PolyWire and MediaWire do give consumers the iPod or iPhone functionality they are familiar with, while providing them with perfect digital-quality sound right through their car stereo.

All iSimple automotive docking solutions are made, distributed and marketed by AAMP of America™.  iSimple kits are available at specialty car audio and electronics stores nationwide, as well as most Best Buy and Circuit City locations.

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.
