Why The Gateway 500 Is Dension’s Best Car Audio System.

Dension has been sweating it out for quite a long period of time in order to enhance the compatibility and functionality of the Dension’s range of BMW kits. The new kits which are now components of the Dension gateway range have been designed to provide enhanced performance over the older and outdated Ice Link Plus kits. The complex functions and controls in the BMW cars and the numerous production and installation options have led to the production of these newly designed BMW kits.

The kits vary based on the different types of connection looms. This is because the physical compatibility of every head unit differs. Moreover the firmware installed that is loaded on to each stereo varies for each unit thereby increasing the Dension Gateway’s complexity.

Two kinds of kits were created based on the kind of vehicle and stereo used in the vehicle. One option would be to use the Dension Gateway 100 or 300. This is usually incorporated in vehicles that came before 2004/05 with normal wiring looms. The Gateway 100 and 300 can be used in the same vehicle and with the same stereo system so even if one works, it can be assured that the other one is also compatible.

The 100 & 300 provide track display functions and provisions for charging your iPod on select stereo units. The iPod charger can be used for charging all iPods including the recently introduced 5v iPods and iPhone. A USB port is also provided to attaching a mass storage device which helps you to store your favorite tracks and serves as a back up at times when you don’t have your iPod with you.

The second option in the Dension range of car audio systems is the Gateway 500.whish is really the flagship of the Dension range. The Gateway 500 uses fiber optics that really increases the performance of BMW’s original equipment. When the fibre optic system is connected, Gateway 500 can give a comprehensive iPod connection that is monitored through its iDrive circuitry. The Gateway 500 does not make your CD changer expendable and it also enables you to use the in built USB .

However the other features of Gateway 500 add a totally different dimension to in-car luxury.

A newly created AVR allows you to control all the devices that are connected through the Gateway 500. You can control a number of devices at the same time and select where each device plays in your car. For example, you can listen to your favorite tracks using the iPod in the front while you kids can enjoy themselves tuning in to their movies at the back.

Dension has thrown light on the future of In Car Entertainment. Dension also has quite a few devices waiting to be released that will further open the doors for the coming of the Digital Media Age.
