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.

Clearwater, FL (JANUARY 7, 2008) – iSimple has announced it will introduce its iSimple WiFli (IS713) plug-and-play automotive iPod interface during the Summer of 2009. The 2009 CES Innovations Award winning iPod/iPhone interface will offer superior sound through any car stereo, wireless CD-style track control of any iPod or iPhone, and displays song and artist information on car radios that support Radio Data System (RDS) reception.

The iSimple WiFli kit consists of a wireless remote control and a dongle-style "bug” that jacks directly into your iPod or iPhone. The wireless remote control clips easily to almost any steering wheel and provides convenient one-button control of the iPod or iPhone, reducing driver distraction and enabling quick and easy track changing regardless of the driving environment. Once connected, the WiFli transmits a digital RDS FM radio signal to the car stereo, resulting in better sound quality than standard FM modulators. The device also transmits iPod/iPhone track data to the radio so RDS technology-equipped car radios will display song title and artist information right on the radio’s display.

The plug-in bug also features a 5-pin USB port which can connected to any standard Mini USB charging device, used on many mobile phones and other portable communications devices to charge the iPod, while also powering the IRDS. Most importantly, the iSimple WiFli does not experience feedback or static from being used while charging like many FM modulators on the market.

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.

Clearwater, FL (January 6, 2008) – iSimple® is proud to announce that it has received a 2009 CES Innovations Award for its revolutionary WiFli (IS713). The WiFli is a plug-and-play automotive iPod/iPhone interface that offers wireless, CD-style track control of an iPod or iPhone from any FM radio, as well as song and artist information displayed on headunits that support Radio Data System (RDS) reception.

The iSimple WiFli kit consists of a wireless remote control with a quick-set steering wheel cradle and a dongle-style “bug” that jacks directly into your iPod or iPhone. Once connected, the WiFli transmits a digital RDS FM radio signal to the car stereo, resulting in sound quality superior to that of standard FM modulators. Even better, the iSimple WiFli also transmits iPod/iPhone track data to the radio, meaning that car radios equipped with RDS technology will display song title and artist information right on the radio’s display and allow users to enjoy a degree of library browsing from the wireless remote. The iSimple WiFli remote clips easily to almost any steering wheel and provides convenient one-button, CD-style control of the iPod or iPhone.

Sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the CES Innovations Award recognizes the most impressive consumer electronics products in 32 categories. Innovations Award Winners are selected by an independent panel of industry specialists for exceptional product and engineering design.

According to Eric LeClerc, a product developer for AAMP of America and designer of the WiFli, “We created the iSimple WiFli with two things in mind: convenience and safety. As a plug-and-play iPod solution, the WiFli is incredibly easy to use and portable so you can take it anywhere you take your iPod or iPhone. As for safety, we’ve put one-touch control of your iPod right on your steering wheel. This drastically reduces driver distraction, but provides the freedom to change tracks quickly and easily even when in traffic. I’m incredibly excited that the WiFli was selected as a CES Innovations Award winner and I’m eager to see people’s reaction to it at CES.”
