The Gateway 500S BT is available in 2 different hardware
versions:
• Single FOT (GW52MO1)
• Dual FOT (GW52MO2)
Dual FOT version has two optical inputs: it is recommended for vehicles
where original CD changer is available to retain that functionality
(except in the case of the Audi MMI-2 High).
If there is no factory CD changer, then the Single FOT version Gateway
is suitable. On the below picture you can see the connection options:
General Installation Guide
Gateway 500S BT
The most important factors of the installation are:
• Programming
• Gateway installation into the optical ring
• The factory CD changer
• The factory phone
• The 6 DIP switches on the Gateway
2. Programming
The Gateway 500S BT emulates a CD changer and uses the car’s
original CD changer controls to access offboard audio sources.
Therefore it may be necessary to have the car programmed by your
dealer in order to use the Gateway 500S BT with it.
Programming the car for Gateway 500S BT
Audi:
No programming required
BMW (non iDrive Professional, M-ASK & CCC Profesional):
For programming we recommend to use our GEN2BME enabler tool or
a 3rd party solution like Autologic. If you are not experienced with this,
then please ask a service station for coding. For using all the functions
of the Gateway you need to enable the
“IPOD” option
and the
644
phone option
on the car.
Important notes:
• If there is a factory phone installed, then please also go to:
Section 6: “Phone””
• If the software version of the car’s head unit dates before 2005,
then please update it before programming!
G52-9202-5
Mercedes-Benz
Generally no programming is required but if there was no device on
the the optical ring installed, then the CD changer option needs to be
coded with the service computer.
Porsche
If there is no CD changer installed, then you need to program the CD
changer option.
3. Device installation
After successful programming you can start with the installation.
Please note:
Installation of the Gateway 500S BT is very complex,
therefore please have it installed by a professional installer.
There are different installation types, all of them are basically for the
Single FOT version Gateway, but they are also possible with the Dual
FOT Gateway. If there is the Dual FOT version and you don’t use the
right (CD changer side) optical input of it, then you need to put an
optical loop on this connection. (You can create an optical loop by
using the second optical cable of the Gateway’s package.)
The only exception is “Type 2a” where ONLY the Dual FOT version
Gateway can be used and you apply both optical connections of the
Gateway device.
Important note:
When you connect the power harness please make
sure that you feed the Gateway device with
+12V non-switched
constant power.
Installation Type 1(Fig. 1):
Vehicles that support two CD changers on the optical ring as an
original function.
•
Audi A4/S4/RS4/A5/A6/S6/RS6/A8/S8/Q7 with MMI-2 High
(colour)
These vehicles allow you to select between Gateway audio sources
and the original CD changer trough the existing car audio controls
without using the Connector port.
Installation:
You add the Gateway to the optical ring as you can see
on Fig. 1 - the MMI-2 High system will recognise it as a second CD
changer:
Installation Type 2a (Fig. 2):
Vehicles with an existing CD changer.
This installation type is possible with Dual FOT version Gateways
only. This allows you to select between Gateway audio sources and
the original CD changer by switching between ACTIVE (Gateway)
and BYPASS (CD changer) mode with the Connector port. (For exact
information please read: “5. Connector port”)
Installation
:
1. First please remove the CD changer
2. Then install the Gateway on the remaining place of the CD
changer on the optical ring
3. Finally install the CD changer into the second (CD changer side)
optical input of the Gateway
Please note:
Vehicles that have the original CD changer in the trunk it
is recommended to use the FOA1PO1 optical extension kit so that the
Gateway’s hardware can be placed to the front part of the car (behind
the radio or in the glove box).
