In this manual the following conventions describe
the buttons of your car entertainment system:
•Next/Back: Next and Previous track
•FF/REW: Fast Forward and Rewind
•CD1, CD2…: CD selection
•Random: Random, Mix or Shuffle
Please refer to the manual of your car audio
system for specific details of operation.
Gateway Lite needs to be installed and configured
correctly for your vehicle. For assistance with
installation, please refer to the Installation Guide.
2 Operation
General
Switch on your car radio and select CD changer
as source.
This is usually done by pressing the CDC button,
or pressing the CD button twice. If in doubt consult
the audio section of your car’s instruction manual.
Music will now play from your iPod or USB from
the point they last played. If both are connected,
the one that was used last will continue. Switching
off the car or the radio will stop playback and put
the source devices to stand-by.
If neither the iPod nor USB storage is connected,
than CD1/Track99 is displayed, and the time
counter is just counting up.
Next/Back, FF/REW and Random/Repeat/Scan
buttons work as expected.
iPod
The original user interface of the iPod remains
active (i.e. the click wheel still works) so you can
use it for browsing as normal. The CD buttons
have no effect on the iPod.
During playback the Radio displays CD1. The
shown track numbers and time counter are not
synchronized with the iPod.
Dension also offers an optional dash-mount cradle
to dock your iPod safely (not included).
The iPod is charged while connected to Gateway
Lite.

2 Operation (continued)
USB
When the USB storage is inserted the first time,
the Gateway will start Play_All on the whole
content.
You can choose Playlists or Folders stored in the
root directory by using the CD selection buttons.
Playlists and Folders are linked to the CD#
buttons: first playlist assigned in alphabetical
order, then folders follow similarly.. E.g. CD1 is
assigned to the first playlist, CD2 to the second,
and so on.
During playback the Radio displays CD and Track
numbers and the elapsed time of the actual song.
Tips and Tricks:
•You can easily define how the CD selection
buttons get assigned by naming the Folders or
Playlists as: 1-Rock, 2-Blues, 3-Latin, etc.
•If you want to listen to the whole content of a USB
storage again in Play_All mode, just remove it
during playback, and re-insert it after a few
seconds. Play_All will start again.
Alternatively you may also create a playlist with all
songs, and start it with a CD# button.
•Play_All combined with Random gives you the
chance to find music that suits your mood. Start by
playing songs randomly. If a song does not fit your
mood, press Next. If you particularly like a song,
play the whole of that Folder by pressing Next and
Back within 1 sec.
When the playback of the last song in the Folder is
finished, Gateway returns to Random.
3 Service your car (Bypass mode)
Certain vehicles have complex system
management capabilities, and servicing may
involve using a diagnostic computer.
To avoid conflict with such diagnostics devices,
put the Gateway in Bypass mode, which
temporarily disables the operation of the
Gateway.
In order to enter Bypass mode, first disconnect all
devices from the Gateway. The radio displays
Disc1/Track99.
Now press the Back button six times and the
Gateway switches to Bypass mode. At this point
the Radio switches back to FM or to the earlier
selected audio source.
The Gateway stays in Bypass mode even if you
re-start your car, and it is invisible to the electronic
devices in your car, or the diagnostics computers,
just as if it was not installed at all.
To exit Bypass mode, connect any device, wait a
few seconds, and select the CD changer source.
Your Gateway will start operating normally. (You
may also need to re-start certain vehicles to get
the Gateway back to normal mode.)
