Gateway Blue
iPod, USB, Bluetooth
Install Guide
v.1.0
GBL-9201-1
1. INTRODUCTION
Gateway Blue enables music playback from a
USB storage or iPod through your vehicle’s
entertainment system, using the buttons of the
car stereo for basic control.
This device also offers Bluetooth connectivity for
music streaming (via A2DP) and handsfree
mobile call handling via the original buttons of the
Head Unit (Radio).
Gateway Blue is designed to give easy to
manage control, in cars where it is not possible
to display text, therefore only basic control is
available (track skip functions and USB folder
browsing).
2. GETTING STARTED
At first please make sure that the vehicle
compatibility is correct.
The Dension Gateway Blue is available in
specific versions for different vehicle types,
therefore the exact operation and installation
may be different in each case.
Warning!
Always make sure that the ignition key is
removed from the car, the radio is switched
off and that you have the security code of the
head unit (radio) available (if applicable).
3. HOW TO REMOVE THE HEAD UNIT
First, carefully remove your vehicle's existing
factory fit head unit as per the factory instructions
and using the correct tools.
In some cases, removing the head unit will
require panel removal also therefore we
recommend to contact your vehicle's dealer or
installation supplier/installer for more information.
3. FITTING THE GATEWAY HARNESS
Once the head unit has been removed,
disconnect the antenna cable (1) and then unclip
the main wiring connector from the head unit (2).
This will differ in all makes and manufacturers.
With the main radio cable removed, first connect
the Dension supplied cable to the original factory
cable harness.
In some cases there may be an add-in
connector. Remove the CD changer section and
replace with the loom supplied with the Gateway
Blue. For further details please go to section 8.
Important installation notes:
VW, Audi: The free black lead on the Gateway
harness must be grounded / connected to the
chassis of the radio. In case of BMW you don’t
need to connect this lead.
4. CONNECTION
The below diagram depicts how the different
modules connect to the Gateway Blue.
Connect the round iPod connector and USB to
the module and feed them through the
dashboard to an appropriate location.
Warning! Do not trap the cables, or leave
them in a position where they may become
trapped after refitting the head unit.
Ensure the device is correctly fitted before
running the cable. Then, reconnect the Dension
supplied main radio connector to the rear of the
head unit.
Connect the 18 way micro-fit to the Car side of
the Gateway Blue module.
5. INSTALLATION
The Bluetooth Dongle
The Bluetooth dongle is factory inserted to the
relevant USB port. Please do not remove or
replace the original dongle.
Fitting the microphone
The microphone will work best when it is kept
away from all noise sources (open windows or
speaker) and close to the speaker. So the best
place to ensure perfect sound is to install at the
central light cluster or rear view mirror in the
centre of the wind screen. There are clips that
help you to do this.
The optimal place for the microphone depends
on many factors, so it is recommended that you
try different installation places before finally
mounting the microphone.
6. TEST AND REFIT
Before you refit the head unit, test the Gateway
Five with your car audio, making sure all
connections are correct and that you have full
functionality.
Note: If during testing you notice any
changes or inconsistencies in the way the
car's electrical system operates, disconnect
the Gateway product immediately and consult
your dealer.
