About the iSimple Gateway ISFD75
Play your music through your factory radio
Your iPod or iPhone is also your music storage device, with hours of tunes you've selected. But you couldn't play those tunes in your car...until now. Just install this iSimple Gateway ISFD75 adapter — it not only allows you to listen to all your favorite tunes through your car's speakers, it even lets you control song and playlist selections right from your radio.
The ISFD75 features an 11-foot Apple 30-pin cable for direct connection from your Apple device to your car's factory radio, allowing you to use the radio's controls to browse your Apple device by Artist, Album, Genre, and Playlist. If you have a newer iPod/iPhone device with a Lightning connector, then you will also need Apple's Lightning to 30-pin adapter. And the GateWay isn't just an iPod adapter; the ISMD75 is equipped with a right-angle male 3.5mm stereo connector and a set of female stereo RCA jacks, allowing you to connect another audio source.
Note: You will need to disconnect the Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, or Mazda factory radio's harness and plug the iSimple Gateway's vehicle harness into the back of the factory radio. Your radio must have an external satellite radio tuner or SYNC for this adapter to work; you'll retain these features in compatible vehicles. Please refer to the "Details" tab for specific information.

Works great. I purchased a 30 pin to lightning adapter, which allows for the iPhone to charge and control the iPhone through the radio.
