Follow on Google News | Isimple® Interface Units Can Be Used With An Iphone® To Listen To Internet Radio While On The GoInternet Radio Feature Gives Dealers and Installers Yet Another Selling Point for the Popular iSimple® Line of Automotive iPod®/iPhone® Docking Solutions
By: iSimple - an AAMP of America company The easiest way to listen to Internet radio stations via an iPhone is to use one of the several radio apps available from Pandora, AOL Radio, FlyCast, Last.fm or allRadio. These apps are fairly inexpensive (some are FREE) and use a standard 3G, WiFi or EDGE connection to deliver Internet-based content to the iPhone. It goes without saying that if a user is in an area that doesn’t have 3G, WiFi or EDGE coverage, he/she will not be able to stream Internet radio. Once the radio app installed and running, the iPhone can be plugged it into the iSimple solution. If the customer has an iSimple SoundByte (PXDP), PolyWire (IS75), MediaWire (IS76), BiPass (PXAUX) or TranzIt (IS77) in his/her vehicle, all he/she has to do is plug in their iPhone and access the iSimple solution like normal. The iPhone will begin playing Internet radio, and the user can control his/her station using the standard iPhone touch screen controls. If the customer has an iSimple GateWay installed, once he/she selects the GateWay through the satellite tuner, he/she will need to go into AUX mode to access the iPhone Internet radio. As with the other iSimple solutions, the user will have to use the standard touch screen interface on the iPhone to change stations or advance tracks. Here is something for your customers to keep in mind: the way the iPhone is configured, you can’t currently use an iSimple solution to answer or place calls. To answer calls while driving, we currently recommend using a hands-free Bluetooth earpiece or other phone kit. Also, if you are using an iPhone 3G with an iSimple GateWay or SoundByte, you will most likely need an 12v to 5v adaptor to provide battery charging. All iSimple automotive docking solutions are made by Peripheral Electronics – the industry leader in automotive OEM integration products – and distributed and marketed by AAMP of America™. iSimple kits are available at specialty car audio and electronics stores nationwide, as well as mass merchant chains and online retailers.
