The Gateway 500S emulates a CD changer and uses CD changer
controls to access oboard audio sources therefore it may be
necessary to have the car programmed by your dealer in order to
use the GW500S with it.
Programming the car for GW500S
Audi
No programming required
BMW (non iDrive Professional, M-ASK & CCC Prof.)
* For programming we recommend to use 3rd party solutions
like Autologic
Installation in BMW models:
Mercedes
Generally no programming is required but in some cases (e.g. no
device was connected onto the optical ring) a CD changer will
have to be enabled with the service computer.
Porsche
Generally CD-Changer option needs to be coded if factory option
is missing.
3. Device Installation
The 500S can be installed anywhere on the MOST ring, however
in order to avoid any compatibility or functional issues, please
make sure that the Gateway 500S is the last connected device
on the MOST ring or it is connected to beside the factory CD-
Changer (if available). Please note: Installation of the Gateway
500S is very complex, therefore please have it installed by
Professional Installer.
Important note: If you install a Dual FOT version of the Gateway
500S where the 2nd optical FOT extension is not in use then
please create an optical loop by using the 2nd optical cable
( located in the package) and connect it to the 2nd FOT (‘CDC side’)
of the Gateway.
Important note:
- If the SW of the car requires an update or a KMP3 activation,
switch the Gateway to bypass/service mode before you start
the procedure. Before converting or retrotting IPOD option,
switch back to GW mode.
1 - E65 means all 7 series model variations (E65/E66)
2 - E60 means all 5 and 6 series model variations
(E60/E61/E63/E64)

Remove the blue locking clip from the
middle of the bre optic housing.
Strain the hook carefully with a
sharp tool, while pulling out the
optical bre from the housing.

(Fig. 1)
Connect that optical wire (use the optical male /male inline
connector) with the ‘signal in’ cable of the Dension device. The
optical ber ‘signal out’ bre of the Dension device must be
