      If you can't use your iPod's click wheel to select music with the iSimple Gateway, it's likely because the iPod is in external control mode. To regain control via the click wheel, press the Aux/Sat button and select the AUX source.

      If your radio shows 'iPod not connected' when using the iSimple Gateway, the issue is likely that the iPod cable isn't properly connected. Verify that the docking cable is securely connected to both the iPod and the Media Gateway.

    Why is there only static when using AM/FM radio with iSimple Gateway?

      ksimpsonAug 25, 2025
      If you experience only static and no audio when listening to the factory AM or FM radio with the iSimple Gateway, it's because the factory antenna cable is connected to the HD radio tuner. Use the Media Gateway to access the HD radio source, which will provide AM and FM reception for your vehicle.

      Peter WhiteAug 31, 2025
      If you're not getting any AM or FM reception through the HD radio source on your iSimple Gateway, it's likely that the factory antenna cable isn't connected to the HD radio tuner (HDRT). Remove the factory antenna plug from the factory radio and connect it to the HDRT module.

    What to do if iSimple Gateway doesn't recognize HD tuner?
    • M
      matthew80Sep 8, 2025
      If the Media Gateway isn't recognizing the HD tuner (HDRT), it's possible the HD tuner wasn't properly connected when the PXAMG was first connected and initialized. Disconnect the PXAMG from the vehicle harness for at least 5 minutes. Ensure the 8-pin DIN HDRT cable is securely connected at both ends before reconnecting the vehicle harness.

    Why does iSimple Gateway HD radio quality fluctuate?
    • P
      Paul EdwardsSep 12, 2025
      If you notice that the HD radio station quality fluctuates or is lost randomly when using the iSimple Gateway, it's likely because the HD tuner is temporarily losing reception of the Digital HD radio broadcast signal. The digital HD radio playback should resume when you are in areas with higher broadcast signal strength.
