General 

Switch on your car radio and select CD changer 
as source.  
This is usually done by pressing the CDC button, 
or pressing the CD button twice. If in doubt 
consult the audio section of your car’s instruction 
manual. 
Music will now play from your iPod or USB from 
the point they last played. If both are connected, 
the one that was used last will continue. 
Switching off the car or the radio will stop 
playback and put the source devices to stand-by. 
If neither the iPod nor USB storage is connected, 
than CD1/Track99 is displayed, and the time 
counter is just counting up. 
Next/Back, FF/REW and Random/Repeat/Scan 
buttons work as expected. 

iPod 

The original user interface of the iPod remains 
active (i.e. the click wheel still works) so you can 
use it for browsing as normal. The CD buttons 
have no effect on the iPod. 
During playback the Radio displays CD1. The 
shown track numbers and time counter are not 
synchronized with the iPod. 
Dension also offers an optional dash-mount 
cradle to dock your iPod safely (not included). 
The iPod is charged while connected to Gateway 
Lite.
