Why would I need an iPodĀ® adapter?

An iPod adapter allows you to connect your iPod to your car stereo, then access your playlists with your stereo's controls - a great idea for several reasons. One, you can scroll through your song titles on your stereo's larger display, instead of squinting down at your iPod. Two, you can route the adapter cable to your glove compartment or center console, so your iPod stays safely out of sight. Three, the iPod adapter keeps your iPod fully charged, so it's ready to rock when you leave your car. And last of all, some adapters bypass your iPod's internal digital-to-analog converter, using your stereo's superior DAC to turn your files back into music.

Our take on the iSimple iPod® Adapter for Nissan

by Zak Billmeier

Connect your iPod or iPhone® and control it using your Nissan or Infiniti factory stereo with this handy adapter. You can browse your iPod's music by artist, album, playlist, and genre using your stereo's familiar controls, and as an added bonus you'll gain an auxiliary input for hooking up additional sources. You can also use this adapter to get SIRIUS Satellite radio with the help of a SIRIUS tuner and an adapter cable.

Note: Your Nissan radio must have a "SAT" button or "CH," "CHANNEL," "CAT," or "CATEGORY" printed on its face to work with this adapter. You'll have to remove the factory satellite radio tuner in 2004-2007 Infiniti vehicles. Please enter your vehicle information or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this adapter is compatible with your vehicle.

Highlights:

  • add iPod control and an auxiliary input to select Nissan/Infiniti factory radios
  • features both 3.5mm and RCA connections
  • add SIRIUS satellite radio reception with SIRIUS SC-C1 tuner and ISSR11 adapter
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Overview: The Peripheral Technology iSimple Gateway Automotive Media Interface (ISNI571) seamlessly connects select iPods & iPhone to many 2004-2010 Nissan & Infiniti factory stereos. The iSimple Gateway Automotive Media Interface also offers an auxiliary input for connection of other portable audio devices to your factory stereo. In addition the iSimple ISNI571 can be connected to the SiriusConnect Satellite Radio tuner or the iSimple HD Radio tuner (both sold separately). The iSimple Gateway Automotive Media Interface provides full control of these connected devices (except Auxiliary) through your vehicle's factory installed radio and steering wheel controls. The ISNI571 will retain your original factory system features, such as satellite radio and rear seat entertainment (if equipped).

    Note: You can only connect two of the supported devices (iPod/iPhone, Auxiliary, Sirius Satellite Radio, or HD Radio).

    Vehicle Compatibility: The iSimple Gateway Automotive Media Interface (ISNI571) is compatible with the select 2004-2010 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped with a factory radio which supports Satellite Radio. The Nissan/Infiniti factory radio must have a "SAT" button or have "CH", CHANNEL, "CAT", or "CATEGORY" printed somewhere on the face of the radio. This is usually located near the Tune or Seek buttons. The iSimple Gateway ISNI571 is compatible with the following Nissan and Infiniti vehicles (as of September 2010).

    Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the factory headunit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or wait until a newer software update is available.

    Sirius Satellite Radio Ready: The iSimple Gateway ISNI571 allows you to listen to Sirius Satellite Radio in your vehicle by connecting the SiriusConnect Vehicle Tuner (607SCC1, sold separately) via proprietary add-on Satellite Radio tuner cable (541ISSR11, sold separately). Once the Sirius Satellite Radio tuner is connected, the iSimple Gateway interface offers Satellite Radio audio playback, control, and information display from your factory radio.

    Note: A subscription is required to receive satellite radio programming from SIRIUS. SIRIUS Satellite Radio features more than 120 streams of original programming beamed coast-to-coast, including 65 streams of commercial-free, digital-quality music, and news, talk, sports, entertainment, and children's programming.

    HD Radio Ready: The iSimple Gateway ISNI571 allows you to listen to HD Radio in your vehicle by connecting the iSimple HD Radio Tuner (Model # HDRT, sold separately from manufacture). Once the HD Radio tuner is connected, the iSimple Gateway module offers HD Radio audio playback, control, and information display from your factory radio.

    Auxiliary Input: The iSimple Gateway Automotive Media Interface is equipped with a right-angle male 3.5mm stereo connector and a pair of female stereo RCA jacks for connecting an external portable audio device, which features an audio output or headphone output.

    Note: Only one device can be connected to the unit's auxiliary input at one time.

    Dip Switches: The iSimple Gateway ISNI571 features four dip switches to configure the module for your compatible Nissan/Infiniti vehicle.

    Vehicle Harness: You will need to disconnect the Nissan or Infiniti factory radio's harness and plug the iSimple Gateway's vehicle harness into the back of the Nissan or Infiniti factory radio. The Nissan or Infiniti factory radio's harness then plugs into the iSimple Gateway's vehicle harness.

    iSimple ISNI571

    Written By Aaron J., Lexington park, MD on Thursday, February 23, 2012
     
    This charges the iPhone/iPod, but that is where the fun stops. Very low, very flat sound. I have a 2006 Nissan Titan.
    Pros:
    Charges ipod, simple install.
    Cons:
    I assume you are buying this to listen to music, you will not get a good sound from this.

    iSimple iPod® Adapter for Nissan

    Written By Anonymous, Maryland on Saturday, April 23, 2011
     
    Just had this installed today and its awesome. great sound and works great with
    my factory stereo in my 2005 murano. uses SAT button to switch input.
    installed at best buy. only problem is you can only use the AUX wire not the
    ipod charger wire. worth the extra money. had the FM transmitter and it died
    after 5 months.

    Tried it

    Written By Dave, California on Saturday, December 04, 2010
    Installed in a 2005 Infiniti G35
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Purchased this because I liked what the product offered, on paper it sounds great! However
    once it got to my house, it did not work for me. Installed on a G35 coupe w/ a bose stereo,
    once you connect this the Bose stereo's 2nd amp WILL NOT work. What does this mean?
    Means that you have to turn up the volume to a ridiculous setting just to get somewhat of a
    loud experience. Even then you will not be able to replicate the same sound quality and
    loudness as with this item uninstalled. Bottom line: works but volume is mediocre at best,
    keep your receipt!

    Dont waste your money, buy a aftermarket HU instead

    Written By HR350z, CT on Friday, October 29, 2010
    Installed in a 2007 Nissan 350Z
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought this to save some money when i decided against a Double Din DVD player. But after installing this i wish i just spent the same amount of money on a regular aftermarket head unit, or even a little bit more to get a better system.

    I need to turn my stereo to the max for it to be some what loud.

    I do not recommend this product unless you are obsessed with your factory radio and do not want to go aftermarket.
