Clearwater, FL (April 7, 2009) – iSimple is proud to announce that Bestcovery.com – a new expert-driven site dedicated to helping consumers find the best products and services – has named the iSimple® GateWay™ (PXAMG) as its “Best iPod Adaptor that Uses the Car’s Big Display and Controls.” The review (currently found on www.bestcovery.com under the Portable Device Accessories page of the Electronics section) touts the many features of the GateWay, as well as its ability to be upgraded with an HD Radio™ tuner, as reasons for its selection as a “best” product. 

The iSimple GateWay – a 2008 CES Innovations Award winner in the OEM Integration category – vastly expands the car stereo capabilities of most late-model vehicles by delivering digital quality sound directly from any model of iPod, including the iPhone. Using the vehicle’s original radio controls (even steering wheel controls) drivers can browse music by playlist, artist or genre through the factory display. Additionally, the GateWay can be upgraded with an HD Radio™ tuner or a SIRIUS® SCC1 satellite radio tuner.

The Bestcovery.com review, written by Bill Howard – who has been named one of the tech industry's ten most influential journalists by Marketing Computers – credits the selection of the iSimple GateWay to its intuitive operation, affordability and variety of available features, including extra inputs (3.5mm “headphone jack” and RCA) for use with a variety of other portable audio sources. Another factor contributing to the GateWay being selected as “the best” is its compatibility with more vehicle makes and models than any similar interface currently on the market.

According to Bryce Smith, Marketing Communications Director for iSimple parent company, AAMP of America™, “The iSimple GateWay has really set itself apart as a success story in the mobile electronics market. The success we’ve enjoyed has a great deal to do with how accessible we’ve made it to consumers. Unlike many of our competitors units, the GateWay is incredibly easy to find, affordable to purchase and simple to operate. We feel that these claims are even more validated with Bestcovery.com recognizing the GateWay as one of their ‘Best’ products.”

The iSimple GateWay currently operates with the factory-installed stereo systems in most late-model Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Hummer, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercury, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Scion, Saturn, Toyota and Volkswagen vehicles. Compatibility kits for Subaru and several others are scheduled for 2009, as well as a Bluetooth® module. The iSimple GateWay can be purchased at mobile audio and electronics specialty retailers across the US and Canada, as well as at most Best Buy stores and online from Amazon.com, Crutchfield and more.

All iSimple kits are available at specialty car audio and electronics stores nationwide, as well as most Best Buy  locations. iSimple products are also available at many online outlets including Crutchfield.com and Amazon.com. For more information, please visit www.iSimpleSolutions.com.
