The iSimple PXAMG was the recipient of a 2008 CES Innovations Reward because it is the first interface ever to bring the iPod, HD Radio broadcasting, and other portable media products into the vehicle. The PXAMG connects your iPod directly to your radio allowing the user to browse music by artist, album, genre, and playlist. The direct connection eliminates the need for noisy FM Modulated solutions, and keeps the iPods internal battery charged. (This charging feature is only supported by iPods that are 12 volt firewire charging capable)
This interface is expandable as well allowing you to add the HDRT which receives digital radio stations that can not be received with a standard tuner.

I love the integration of my Ipod into my stock stereo system and the option to just plug in an mp3 as well! Sonic had the best price too!

I was very dissipointed to find that the ability to shuffle is not available.
When I updated my iPod to OS4 if stopped working and I had to but a new interface chip ($30) to make it work again.
