Dension Gateway Pro BT - BMW iPod/iPhone/AUX/USB Bluetooth Car Kit - GWP1BM4
Dension Gateway Pro BT for BMW featuring Bluetooth handsfree, iPod, iPhone, AUX and USB music playback all-in-one interface. A full system dedicated to music streaming in the car.
The Dension Gateway Pro BT GWP1BM4 lets you connect your iPod/iPhone/Android device or USB storage (stick, hard drive or mass storage capable mp3 player) to your original BMW car radio, providing music playback, menu based control and charging. The device offers Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming (via A2DP) and hands free feature via the original buttons and screens of your vehicle. The Gateway Pro BT is the perfect integration for cars with the existing factory head unit.
The Dension Gateway Pro BT connects iPod, iPhone, Bluetooth phone or a USB storage device to the original car radio, providing
- Menu based control and browsing – full integration
- Hands free calling with phonebook browsing, caller ID display, call lists – all shown on the display(s)
- Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) with text display
- Music playback from various sources with text display (ID3 tags)
- Control through steering wheel buttons or head unit buttons (compatibility dependent)
- Multilanguage menu support (EN, DE, FR, IT, NL, ES, PT, TR, HU, PL, CZ, SK, RO)
- Russian language support with restrictions
- Android devices can be connected via USB if ’Mass Storage Mode’ is available
The Dension Gateway Pro BT offers handsfree mobile call handling, and Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming (via A2DP). All controlled through the radio or steering wheel controls and displays your information on the cluster display (between the dials). The Bluetooth chip is installed on board.
Control at your fingertips
The Gateway Pro BT works like an interpreter between your devices and the car, converting instructions from the car’s controls into a language that your phone or iPod can understand and respond to. When connected to the car's audio system, the Gateway Pro BT (usually) emulates a CD changer, thus making those controls on the radio available to control the devices connected to it. Of course, every Gateway Pro BT comes with a comprehensive user manual, but in most cases, you select the CD changer function, and a series of menus are opened up for you to control your devices. The 'next/previous track' key and/or steering wheel controls.
Gateway Pro BT will also send all this information to the display in your car, which might be in the radio, the cluster display (between the dials), or the center console, so you can always see exactly where you are, what’s playing, or who’s calling you.
Gateway Pro BT incorporates the iPod UI mode which makes it available for the user to control music playback through the original interface of the device.
The Phone option provides full access to the phone book and call logs (received, missed, dialed).

Note 1: Only compatible with BMW Navigation and Business head units with 40 flat pin connector. For additional information, please click here
Note 2. Radios that are manufactured by Becker are not compatible. Phone button on the radio or R/T button on the steering wheel is necessary to be operational.
Note 3. Using EXT1BM4 extension cable (4,5 m long) is recommended if the tuner is located in the boot.
Note 4: If there is an issue of No sound only control on BMW then there are two possible reasons:
- The car has DSP
- The iPod Dock cable is not connected or wrongly connected
DSP: If the car has DSP, the Gateway is officially not compatible, due to limitations of the Gateway device. DSP systems require a digital input but the Gateway provides analogue so in those cases there will be no sound, only control. Having a DSP option is rare, there is no label on the radio. You can tell if you check the Tuner. If you see a coax connector, then it must be a DSP based system, but a service station can also help you to find out if the car has DSP or not.
Alternatively: If the car has DSP, and you still prefer to install the Gateway, then you can use a DSP analog-digital adapter (for example Blitzsafe).
iPod dock cable: On Gateway Pro BT there are two 9 pin connectors. The left one is dedicated to the 30 pin iPod dock cable, 2nd one goes to the Connector port (if the installer / user ordered that piece separately).
If the cable is connected to the wrong place then no sound will be audible and the iPod / iPhone device will not be recognized properly.
If you have no sound both from USB and iPod / iPhone too, then the problem might be related to the car specifications (DSP) or there is a conflict with a factory installed device (CD changer or else). The car harness of the Gateway device can also be plugged in wrong, or it may be faulty, please double check if it fits correctly.
For additional information, please read the knowledge base articles for the Dension Gateway Pro by clicking here
After installation you may need to code the vehicle to activate the telephone and iPod. Please contact an Audi dealer or workshop with diagnostic software. Alternatively please use a VAGCOM device to activate.
