iSimple® is proud to introduce the TranzIt USB (IS32), an in-car FM radio integration kit that provides owners of Motorola (including Droid), Blackberry, Samsung, HTC, LG and other popular smartphones an easy and affordable way to enjoy static-free music directly through their vehicle’s factory stereo system, as well as the convenience of USB battery charging. Best of all, the TranzIt USB works with any FM car stereo.

This interface – based on the original iSimple TranzIt for iPod and iPhone – utilizes an “antenna bypass” to send a signal directly into any FM car stereo. All the driver has to do is designate a radio preset (87.9 or 88.3FM) as a “playback channel,” plug in his/her smartphone via a 3.5mm audio connector, connect the USB charger and start the music. To browse and select tracks, or use Internet radio stations like Pandora, the operator simply uses the devices standard buttons or touch screen controls.  And, because the iSimple TranzIt is “hardwired” to the vehicle (professional installation is recommended) so the audio quality is extraordinary.

The iSimple TranzIt USB has a MSRP of $89.95 and is currently available for sale on the iSimple website (www.isimplesolutions.com), as well as iSimple retailers nationwide.

 iSIMPLE^® WINS CES INNOVATIONS AWARD FOR  MUSIK3D™

Clearwater, FL (January 4, 2010) – iSimple® is proud to announce that it has received a 2010 CES Innovations Award for its upcoming Musik3D™ line of products. Musik3D products will combine the benefits of several sound enhancing technologies – including SRS Wow – into iPod, iPhone and personal media device accessories that restore the richness and fullness of sound to MP3s depleted or degraded by audio compression or duplication.

The first iSimple Music3D product – the Music3Dx – resembles an iPod or iPhone docking cable, but with a 30-pin male connector at one end, a 30-pin female connector at the other, and a slim interface midway along the length of the 3-foot line. The male and female ends allow the Musik3Dx to be connected to any dockable iPod or iPhone, as well as connect to any home or car docking system. The slim interface module has an on/off switch, as well as adjustment controls for Focus, Spatial and Bass. Using these controls, a listener can fine tune his/her music to compensate for treble, bass and spatial depth lost through compression. The result is fuller, more realistic stereophonic sound without any compression noise.   

iSimple also plans to release a Music3D dock for use with home stereo systems, as well as a Music3D home docking station, a Music3D connector for mp3 players and most smartphones, Musik3D earbuds and over-ear headphones, and a Music3D docking cable for its GateWay™, SoundByte™ and TranzIt™ car integration kits. No release date has been announced for the iSimple Musik3Dx.

Musik3D utilizes SRS Wow technology from SRS Labs. Founded in 1993, SRS Labs is the industry leader in audio signal processing for consumer electronics. Beginning with the audio technologies originally developed at Hughes Aircraft, SRS Labs holds over 150 worldwide patents and is recognized by the industry as the foremost authority in research and application of audio post processing technologies based on the human auditory principles. SRS Labs supports its partners around the globe with a network of offices in regions including the U.S., China, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. For more information, visit www.srslabs.com.

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.

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.
