2011 XLT iSimple SCC1 interface draining battery
Hello all,
I have installed the iSimple Sirius kit and everything worked as it should. I bought it from TSS Radio after they assured me it would work.

However the next day the battery was dead (300 miles on the truck). After much trouble shooting it seems that it is the iSimple Media Gateway/SCC1 combo that is draining the battery. I also but a new battery in and had the same results.
It seems that the Media Gateway/SCC1 is not turning off when the vehicle is off. I contacted TSS radio a couple of times but I get "never heard of that before, sorry".
I have looked through the wires of the harness to see if I can find a ACC power line but can only find constant battery. I saw a diagram for the 24 pin connector somewhere and it showed pin 2 as ACC, but in my vehicle there is no pin 2 on the vehicle harness 24 pin connector.
Kind of annoyed now as I spent a lot of time installing the antenna and making everything neat and hidden.
Anyone else out there with a 2011 and this product?

ISimple Fix
The issue is supposedly a high current draw with some of the Isimples. The fix is to update your gateway to the latest firmware. Hopefully it works, because it killed my battery in 1 full day of sitting.
