How it works
The Gateway Lite BT interface works like an interpreter between your device (may it be an iPhone, iPod, USB-source, or a Smart Phone) and the car, converting instructions from the car’s controls so that they work as commands for your music source. When connected into the car, Gateway Lite BT emulates a CD changer. Of course, every Gateway Lite BT comes with a comprehensive user manual, but in most cases, you select the CD changer function, then CD6, and using the FFW/REW key and/or steering wheel controls you will navigate around your music.
If your car is fitted with a CD changer, the Dension Gateway will take its place.

Installation
Seamless car Integration
Car information and entertainment systems can be complex networks, so Dension always recommends that you have your installation carried out by a qualified installer. To find a selection of suppliers and installers in your country/area, please click here.
The installation will vary slightly according to the car in question, but in each case, you would want have either a cradle, or a dock cable to connect your iPod to. Your installer will ask and advise as to the best place to situate this in your vehicle. The Gateway itself is less than the size of a CD case and will be installed securely out of sight in the glove box since the car side harness is long enough to enable such installation. Dension products are all designed so that there is no need to cut cables.
