Troubleshooting Guide for Installing Dension Products
32
When
installing
a Gateway 500, please
do not forget (!):
-
Gateway must be the
last connected device
on the MOST ring, or other devices like Amplifier,
Phone, Navigation, etc. will not be accessible when the Gateway is active
-
if a factory CDC is installed, always install the Gateway
beside the factory CD-Changer
-
double check the light directions on the MOST ring
-
power needs to be constant/permanent 12V
-
take care because BMWs have 2 different kinds of switched power – one of them goes OFF
immediately as soon as the key is removed from the ignition – the other goes OFF after 15
minutes (!)
-
set the
proper DIP settings,
always
press the reset
or
disconnect from the power
for a while
when
changing DIP settings
When
enabling
, please keep the following in mind:
-
The
Gateway 500 emulates a CD-Changer
(in most cases, expect BMW where it operates as
an
iPod device
) therefore this option needs to be programmed in the following vehicles:
BMW
Mini
Mercedes (sometimes)
Porsche
Saab
-
The vehicle needs to have a factory CD-Changer – otherwise the GW500 won’t work:
Volvo
-
Sometimes the CD-Changer needs to be physically installed during programing of the CDC
option – afterwards it can be removed:
Saab (it can be located in the front or at the rear)
In most cases the enabling procedure can be done using an official service computer, however we
recommend the use of
Autologic
when enabling in a BMW, because
-
there is a
Dension Gateway installation specific
coding menu on the enabler
-
the service managers at BMW usually do not have sufficient experience to do the programming
because it can be done in
manual programming mode only
.
