Anyone have the isimple Gateway installed on a non navi 04-06 and like it? I'm considersing one and wanted to see what people think about it. I'll use it with an iphone 4. Pros or Cons? Thanks..

 

i use it very good no probs at all ive been haveing it for about 6 months now on my 04 non navi.. shows the name of the song.. time... album.. ect alot of stuff.. u can navigate the ipod thru the factory radio its self... its very nice.. i have my ipod on under my arm rest

 

Do you need to have the XM button, to use it.. and can you just use the mode button the steering wheel..

 

i've had mine for almost a year and no issues. i keep my ipod classic in the glove box and never touch it (only when i need to add music obviously).

cipdagr3at, i don't understand your question. i do know you have to to press the xm button to use it if your on cd or fm mode. and yes you can use the mode button to select i believe. the ch button changes the song and cycles through the options. Or you can use the knob and 1-6 buttons.

also if you do plan on getting the isimple adapter make sure it has the new chip in it to make it work with the new iphone 4. mine doesn't nor do i plan on getting the chip cause i only use my ipod classic.

 

great, you understood my question just fine, also with the chip will it support the 3g's aswell

 

I've had it for about a year on my 05 non-nav. It's my most satisfying mod. It's definitely worth the price. I had it installed at BestBuy for $50 in addition to the price of it. I use a 5G iPod Video. It stays in my glove box.

 

04 here, Iphone 4, not one bit of problem pandora works great can skip songs with steering wheel . Iphone 4 has worked better then my 3g

 

installed yesterday and so far so good. sound quality is great, the controls can be hard to navigate sometimes but it probably takes getting used too.
