Dension Gateway Lite BT for Seat 8pin Connector iPod/USB/AUX/A2DP and Bluetooth car kit non-text
A complete integration kit to connect your iPod, iPhone, USB or 3.5mm Aux-in and Bluetooth to your vehicles factory radio system
Gateway Lite BT enables music playback from a USB storage or iPod / iPhone through your vehicle’s entertainment system, using the buttons of the car stereo for basic control. This device also offers Bluetooth handsfree mobile call handling via the original buttons of the Head Unit (Radio). The Dension 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.
The Gateway Lite BT is a basic car multimedia interface from Dension allowing music playback from a wide range of digital data sources. Dension Gateway Lite BT is not only an interface but a car multimedia adapter offering device control using the car radio buttons as well as device charging in the car. Gateway Lite BT is a fully integrated, invisible solution that allows you to use your iPod, iPhone, Smartphone, USB and AUX devices in the car without changing the car interior.
This device also offers Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming (via A2DP).
It opens up the car’s original audio system to allow the playback of iPod, USB or *AUX-in music through your entertainment system’s speakers. Tuck your source away in the glove box and you can control using the car radio buttons as well as device charging in the car. The interior of your car looks exactly like it did the day you bought it, it just does a lot more. You must choose the docking cable option for a neater installation by simply having everything tucked away in your glove box or armrest.

Simple Integration for iPod | USB | AUX-in | Bluetooth
Dension translates CD changer messages to iPod controls and switches the iPod automatically on and off as you select/deselect the CD changer source and your iPod is charged while connected. The Bluetooth facility allows you to pair your phone (whilst in CD-Changer mode) and make handsfree calling.
Control at your fingertips
When connected to the car Gateway Lite 3 emulates a CD changer or an Aux input. The radio detects the music signal from iPod, iPhone or USB and plays it back through the car speakers. Device control happens by the radio buttons and the steering wheel controls. Once you’ve selected the album you can select the track by using the FFWD button of your radio or steering wheel.
Every Gateway Lite BT comes with a comprehensive user manual but for quick start up just select the CD changer function; plug-in your iPod, iPhone or USB into the dock cable or cradle and enjoy the music provided by the Dension Gateway Lite. For detailed user manual please check downloadable documents below. Every Gateway Lite BT comes with a comprehensive user manual, but in most cases, you select the CD changer function, then CD6, and a series of menus are opened up to you to control your music. The FFWD key and/or steering wheel controls are then all you need to navigate around your iPod. If your car is fitted with a CD changer, the Dension Gateway will take its place.
When you receive an incoming call in Gateway mode (CD-Changer mode), the music gets muted and the ringing tone is directed to the speakers (phone dependent). Please wait 4 seconds (within this time the Handsfree profile is activated) then press the Next track button to pick the phone up. You can hang up an ongoing call or reject an incoming call if you press the Previous track button. After finishing the call, the Gateway will return to the original Gateway source
