How Gateway 500S Works
Gateway 500S is Dension’s premium interface and is designed to work with cars which utilise the fibre optic MOST system. As with other Gateways, it works by emulating the CD changer (in most cases) in the vehicle and makes use of the original radio controls. If the car has a CD changer fitted, then Gateway 500 will integrate automatically, however if not, the CDC function may have to be enabled / programmed. The car configuration is set using dip switches.

![]() | Car information and entertainment systems can be complex networks, so we always recommends that you have your installation carried out by a qualified installer. If you wish Car Communications to carry out the installation at an address of your choice anywhere in the UK please select from addons above before adding to cart. Our products are professionally installed at your home or workplace anywhere in the UK by our own network of accredited engineers. The installation will vary slightly depending on which optional items you have also purchased. But in each case you will have a dock cable to connect your iPod. Your installer will ask and advise as to the best place to situate this in your vehicle. The Gateway itself is small and will be installed securely out of sight behind the dash. Dension products are all designed so that there is no need to cut cables. |
