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.
