Today I was messing around with my wife's H3 (installed the Saturn/Pontiac HVAC Control Unit), and I fixed an HVAC vent that wasn't snapped in all the way. Afterwards I was doing some cleanup (our 22 month old daughter does a good job of dropping crumbs..) and I dumped the rear seat. Well I found an Isimple device with the stereo wiring harness stuck under the back seat. I guess the previous owner had it installed and removed it, I dunno, but does anyone have any info on it. From what I can tell it's just the basic model for playing an iphone/ipod with the OEM stereo, but I'm missing the plug which connects to the Iphone. I connected it, but without the iphone/ipod cable or instructions I don't have a clue. Their website kinda sucks and I had to email them with a question vs looking for a PDF to read up on.

Also my wife's OEM stereo seems to be dying a slow death. It functions okay (some home made CD-R's didn't want to eject, but $$ ones do), and the normal dial wear is present, but lately it's loosing illumination one by one. Does anyone have the stock non monsoon stereo just laying around that they don't need. I'd install an aftermarket, but my wife is happy with the OEM one for now.

I don't know anything about Isimple but I went to their website and if you click on the shop link they show cables that can be purchased separately. Don't now if that helps?

Yeah I found the cable online, but the box itself has dip switch settings. Wanted to make sure it was setup right or what it was setup for. Thanks for the help though!

Found this at pac audio if yours is a gateway.

Apr 13, 2010 - Thank you for purchasing the iSimple® Media Gateway. ... read this entire manual before attempting installation of the Media Gateway.

Sorry but it appears the link is not working so google search Isimple gateway manual and click on the pac audio pdf instructions.
