Gateway 500 Lite D2B support issues
49
A. Differences between D2B and MOST
The D2B standard was developed by Mercedes and was available in vehicles made by
Mercedes and Jaguar. The Dension Gateway 500 Lite D2B is compatible with Mercedes only
(GWL1DB1). An OEM (factory) solution is available for Jaguar. The fiber optic cables are the
same as with the Gateway 500 series, but the optical network and the connectors are
different.
B. IPod/iPhone/iPad compatibility
It has the same compatibility as the Gateway Lite BT, so
Lightning
based Apple devices (iPhone 5, iPod
touch 5
th
or nano 7
th
) can be used only with a genuine
Lightning to 30 pin
adapter.
Please note:
Power booster is highly recommended (
SKU
:
Please contact support
) for newer iPhone
and iPod touch devices (from iPhone 4 and touch 4
th
), because the Gateway 500 is capable of
charging
with 500mA
only
.
iPad:
iPads work only if ‘iPod UI’ (Simple remote) mode is selected. Charging is available on iPad 1
st
only. Newer models require 2A of charging, and that is not available even if using a Power Booster.

software is

D. USB does not work
You can try the same method as mentioned earlier with the Gateway Lite BT.
It is essential to check the following:
-
USB drive meets the requirements
-
file extensions (compression rate is not bigger than 320 kbps)
-
the system has to be tested with a different USB drive, with 1-2 music files only
-
make sure the files are not write protected
(to do so use check the files on a PC)
