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 Hyundai

by Zak Billmeier

Just because you've got a factory radio in your Hyundai Sante Fe, doesn't mean you have to leave your iPod at home, along with the hours and hours of music you've loaded onto it. Just install this iSimple iPod 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 Hyundai radio.

Your Hyundai radio must have an "XM" button to work with this adapter. You'll keep the use of your satellite radio (if connected), plus get a handy auxiliary input for connecting an MP3 player, game, or other source. You can also use this adapter to get SIRIUS Satellite radio with the help of a SIRIUS tuner and an adapter cable.

Note: Hyundai navigation receivers and receivers with internal satellite radio tuners are not compatible. Be sure to check the "Hands On Research" tab to make sure this interface will work with your iPod.

Highlights:

  • control your iPod with select satellite-ready Hyundai factory radios
  • auxiliary input for adding additional sources
  • iPod can also be controlled directly, giving you access to all your playlists
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    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 ISHY572 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 ISHY572 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 ISHY572 features four dip switches to configure the module for your compatible Hyundai vehicle.

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

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This Isimple gives me access to all the music and podcasts on my iPhone while charging the phone. It works as described.
    Pros:
    Go to YouTube and you can see the Isimple in use. Works as described. CD sound quality. Charges phone while using.
    Cons:
    I was not comfortable doing the install after. Looked at the process, so I paid a local shop to do that.
