The Dension Gateway Five – The ultimate in iPod/USB/Bluetooth iPod Car Kit Connection
This Package Includes the Dension Gateway 5, The Vehicle Harness & the Active Cradle or Dock Cable as standard. Optional Extras include a USB stick and an Installation package.
Dension's newest kit is the next step forward in iPod and Bluetooth vehicle Integration, as it allows both functions to completely integrate with the factory vehicle stereo system, without the need of additional controls or screens. The new Dension Gateway Five kit installs via a hardwired connection to the vehicles CD changer port, so if offers a minimum of CD quality with the bonus of providing text information on the vehicles instrument cluster.
The Dension Gateway Five is fully controllable from the stereo and steering wheel controls to select tracks, albums, artists or playlists and has the option to play music via USB and AUX (basically what the Gateway 300 currently offers). However the additional functions that come with the Dension Gateway Five Kit mean you'll also receive Bluetooth hands free connectivity through the vehicle stereo and speakers system.
The additional Bluetooth Integration is provided through the Gateway Five menu system which allows your Phone book to synchronise with the stereo’s display when your phone is connected providing instant access to all of your contacts. The system will also stream music via Bluetooth, so an iPod or USB stick is not needed.
The Bluetooth chip in GWF1 is the CSR Blue Core 4 which marks a significant step forward from what was being used previously in BTA1500, with more reliability and wider phone compatibility (see "Check Compatibility" tab for compatible phone models).
Currently, only Volkswagen vehicles with certain stereos are compatible with this kit, however Dension have fixed plans to release this product with BMW, Audi, Vauxhall and other compatibility in the very near future.
Radio and Cluster Compatibility
The Gateway Five fully integrates with the vehicles CAN Bus system. As your phonebook will be transfered to the Cars system, you will need certain hardware components in place to display the information.
The Gateway Five is currently compatible with the following Stereos.
The following are examples of compatible clusters, and usually these come with steering wheel controls.
(To Follow)
These are examples of Custers that do NOT support the Gateway Five. The reason for this is because the clusters will not display track information or phonebook information.
