Cars with mini ISO connector
1. Introduction
Gateway Lite BT enables music playback from a USB storage or iPod
through your vehicle’s entertainment system, using the buttons of the
car stereo for basic control. This device also offers basic hands free
functionality via the original buttons of the head unit (Radio). Gateway
Lite BT is designed to give easy to manage control in cars where it is
not possible to display text, therefore only basic control is available
(track skip functions and USB folder browsing).
2. Getting started
At fi rst, please make sure that the vehicle compatibility is correct. The
Gateway Lite BT is available in specifi c versions for different vehicle
types, therefore the exact operation and installation may be different
in each case.
IMPORTANT!
During the installation always make
sure that the ignition key is removed from the car, the radio is
switched off and that you have the security code of the head unit
(radio) available (if applicable).
3. Remove the head unit
First, carefully remove your vehicle’s existing factory fi tted head unit
according to the factory instructions and using the correct tools.
In some cases, removing the head unit will also requires panel
removal. Contact your vehicle’s dealer or a Dension authorized
installer/supplier for more information.

4. Fitting the Gateway harness
Once the head unit has been removed, disconnect the antenna cable
(1) and then unclip the main wiring connector from the head unit (2).
This will differ in all makes and manufacturers.
Once the main radio cable is removed, you can connect the Gateway
with the supplied cable to the head unit. The connection methods may
vary by each head unit versions, here are the possible situations:

Please note:
Some car side harness versions of the Gateway may
include a separate brown and/or black cable. The free brown cable
needs to be connected to the phone mute pin of the radio (not
necessary). The free black lead must be grounded/connected to the
metal chassis of the radio (or car).
5. Connections on the Gateway’s hardware
Connect the 12 (or 18) pin molex plug to the car side of the Gateway
Lite BT module. You can place the hardware of the Gateway behind
the head unit or into the glove box. Connect the Dension 30-pin Dock
Cable or the Dension Lightning adapter for Gateway into the 9-pin
round connector. If you want to add your USB stick then you can plug
it directly in the USB port or you can plug in a USB extension cable,
but in this case please use an as short cable as you can, because of
power loss. You can lead these cables trough the dashboard to an
appropriate location.
Warning! Do not trap the cables, or leave them in a position
where they may become trapped after refi tting the head unit.
6. Fitting the microphone
The 3,5mm Jack connector is dedicated for the microphone of the
Gateway which is used for hands free. The microphone will work
best when it is kept away from all noise sources (open windows or
speakers) and close to the driver. So the best place to ensure perfect
sound is to install at the central interior light or rear view mirror in the
centre of the windscreen. There are clips that help you mounting the
microphone. The optimal place for the microphone depends on many
factors, so it is recommended that you try different installation places
before fi nalizing the microphone installation.
7. Test and refi t
Before you refi t the head unit, test the Gateway with your car audio
making sure all connections are correct and that you have full
functionality.
Note: If during testing you notice any changes or inconsistencies in
the way the car’s electrical system operates, disconnect the Gateway
product immediately and consult your dealer. When you have tested
everything, refi t your head unit. Do not trap the cables, or leave them
in a position where they may become trapped after refi tting the head
unit. We supply cable ties to mount the Gateway module. Please
mount the module away from heat or damp surfaces. Refi t is the
reversal of the removal process for your specifi c vehicle, as per your
manufacturer’s instructions.
