The ISFM31 – called the JamKast™ – is a universal, plug-and-play model that features a 3.5mm minijack input and a 12-volt car charger for power. The ISFM71 – called the JamKast™ iP – is specifically for use with the iPod or iPhone and features a car charger adaptor with two USB inputs.  Both kits are currently available at www.isimplesolutions.com, and will be in most FYE stores and other consumer electronics retailers nationwide before the holidays.

The iSimple JamKast (MSRP: $49.95) combines plug-and-play simplicity with new FM modulation technologies to offer consumers an easy way to listen to music from an iPod, Zune, Zen, BlackBerry or portable media player while behind the wheel. To use, one simply has to plug the JamKast 3.5mm minijack input into his/her media player, plug the 12v power plug into the vehicle’s lighter port, activate the built-in dTECT™ technology or manually tune the JamKast via its backlit LED display, set the car stereo to the displayed channel, and enjoy.

The JamKast iP (MSRP: $79.95) is an advanced digital FM transmitter that connects quickly and easily to the docking port of any iPod or iPhone. In addition to broadcasting music to any car stereo, it also sends song title and artist data that can be viewed on the radio display of RDS capable radios.

Both the JamKast and JamKast iP utilize two patented iSimple technologies that allow them to sound quality and performance far superior to similar competitor pieces: dTECT™ and PūrSound™. dTECT is a frequency scanning and isolation technology that automatically locates and locks-in on the FM station best suited for iPod or iPhone playback.

Meanwhile, PūrSound is a dynamic digital audio technology that allows listeners to enjoy crisper treble, smoother mid-tones and deeper bass than with other FM transmitters. Additionally, PūrSound boosts and regulates signal strength to dramatically reduce background noise or static.

Clearwater, FL (October 9, 2009) – iSimple® – the fastest growing iPod®, iPhone® and portable media player accessories brand in America – announced today that the music, movie and entertainment retail chain F.Y.E. will begin carrying iSimple products as of the first week of November. Consumers will be able to purchase the new iSimple JamKast iP™ digital FM modulator, as well as accessories like the GoVolt™, OmniWire™ and more, from F.Y.E. stores throughout the U.S.

 

F.Y.E. is a customer-centric, cross-channel retail infrastructure comprised of an industry-leading Web site at fye.com and more than 650 mall-based stores (ranging from 3,000 square feet to the “superstore” format averaging 25,000 square feet). Utilizing advanced techniques and a broadband communication infrastructure, the F.Y.E. concept has been rolled out nationwide – promising a more customized, interactive and inspiring experience for the entertainment consumers of the 21st century.

Clearwater, FL (September 30, 2009) – Once again helping music lovers “Get Connected,” iSimple® today announced that its GateWay™, SoundByte™ and TranzIt™ mobile integration kits can be used in conjunction with an iPhone®, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to stream Pandora® Internet radio live through a car’s factory stereo system.  And, because these iSimple interfaces provide a direct iPhone docking connection, fans of the popular Internet radio site can enjoy their favorite music without any feedback, static or background noise and while keeping their iPhone battery charged-up and ready to go.

 

To listen to Pandora while behind the wheel, the first thing an iPhone owner will need to do is download the free Pandora app from the iTunes store. Pandora for the iPhone is a free service, but a user will need to have a cellular data connection (3G or EDGE) to listen to Internet radio in his/her car. Once installed, the user can then open the Pandora app and either log-in to their existing Pandora account or create a new account.

 

When using an iSimple SoundByte or TranzIt to listen to Pandora, all the iPhone owner needs to do is start the Pandora app and connect the iPhone as usual for iPod/iPhone playback. If the iSimple GateWay is installed, once the user selects the GateWay through the radio, he/she will need to go into AUX mode before connecting the iPhone. At this point, Pandora will begin playing through the factory radio with the same quality one has come to expect from their iSimple interface.

 

For easy access to the touchscreen controls for the Pandora app, iSimple recommends the iSimple StrongHold™ - a mounting system specially designed to allow a driver or passenger to quickly view and use the iPhone screen while causing minimal distraction.

 

Originally created to provide innovative in-car audio interfaces, iSimple has grown into America’s fastest growing provider of iPod, iPhone and portable media player accessories. In addition to its award-winning mobile iPod docking kits, iSimple also offers home docking solutions, digital FM modulators, personal electronics accessories, iPod/iPhone peripherals and much more. iSimple kits are available on the iSimple website (www.iSimpleSolutions.com), as well as Best Buy stores, specialty car audio shops, and online retailers like Amazon, Crutchfield and NewEgg.
