iSimple ISBT21 owner manual Introduction, Compatibility, Installation

1. Introduction

Thank You for purchasing the iSimple ISBT21 add-on Bluetooth® module for the GateWay (uPAC). This device is designed to plug into the GateWay (uPAC) (sold separately) and provide a Bluetooth connection for your iPhone. The ISBT21 enables you to connect your iPhone wirelessly to your factory audio system so your phone conversation plays through your automobile’s speakers. Operation includes features such as: answer/reject incoming call, call waiting, privacy mode and A2DP streaming audio.(iPhone MUST have firmware 3.0 or higher. First generation iPhones do not support A2DP streaming audio)

2. Compatibility

To ensure proper operation please verify that your GateWay (uPAC) is updated with the latest firmware. Please visit www.isimplesolutions.com for firmware updates and compatibility information.

3. Installation

The GateWay (uPAC) must be disconnected from the vehicle and allowed to sit for no less than five minutes before installing the ISBT21. The vehicle wiring harness may be left in place, but MUST BE DISCONNECTED from the GateWay (uPAC) interface before installing the Bluetooth Module. After you have disconnected the GateWay (uPAC) and waited at least five minutes, connect the 8-pin to 8-pin DIN cable into the first port on the GateWay (uPAC) (farthest from the dipswitches). Connect the other end of the cable into the ISBT21 module. Be sure each end makes a secure connection, but do not force it. Decide on a mounting location for the microphone either on the headliner or overhead console. Avoid placing the microphone by the side windows to eliminate extra noise. Carefully run the microphone cable down into the dash where the ISBT21 is to be installed.

When securing the ISBT21 into the dash of the vehicle, placement of the interface is very important. Bluetooth technology supports devices communicating wirelessly up to 20 feet away in most cases. However metal structures inside the dash can reduce the communication between the module and the Bluetooth device. Please keep this in mind when installing the ISBT21 module and ensure to place it where it will have the least obstructions from metal objects.

With all wiring connected, reconnect the GateWay (uPAC) to the vehicle harness.

After all connections have been made, turn the ignition on in the vehicle. Wait 1 minute for the device to initialize. Cycle ignition OFF, and ON again. Enter Satellite radio mode to access the GateWay (uPAC) and use the Bluetooth Module.
