General installation guide
Blueway
4. Installation
Connect the 18 way micro-fit to the vehicle side of the Blueway
device.
Please note: In most cases, the factory media and factory phone
devices are needed to be removed.
For the easier update of the device in the future we recommend
placing the hardware to a location where you can easily reach it or
extend the USB port with an extension cable, which is available as an
official Dension accessory (USB2000).
Fitting the microphone
The microphone will work best when it is kept away from all noise
sources (open windows or speakers) and close to the driver. So the
best place to ensure perfect sound is to install at the central interior
light or rear view mirror in the centre of the wind screen. There are
clips that help you mounting the microphone. The optimal place for
the microphone depends on many factors, so it is recommended that
you try different installation places before finalizing the microphone
installation.
2. Getting started
At first, please make sure that the vehicle compatibility is correct. The
Blueway is available in specific versions for different vehicle types,
therefore the exact operation and installation may be different in each
case.
Before you start!
During the installation 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).
Remove the head unit
First, carefully remove your vehicle’s existing factory fitted head unit
according to the factory instructions and using the correct tools. In
some cases, removing the head unit will also require panel removal.
Contact your vehicle’s dealer or a Dension authorized installer/supplier
for more information.
3. Fitting the Blueway harness
Once the head unit has been removed, disconnect the antenna cable
(1), 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, connect the Dension supplied
cable between the original factory cable harness and the head unit.
5. Test and refit
Before you refit the head unit, test the Blueway 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
Blueway product immediately and consult your dealer.
When you have tested everything, refit your head unit. Do not trap
the cables, or leave them in a position where they may become
trapped after refitting the head unit. We supply cable ties to mount
the Blueway module. Please mount the module away from heat or
damp surfaces.
Refit is the reversal of the removal process for your specific vehicle,
as per your manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Enabling
On CAN BAP based systems (like RCD310, RCD510 or RNS510)
Blueway emulates the factory MDI (Multimedia Interface) and
telephone option which needs to be coded since Model Year 2011. If
your vehicle has not been programmed before, the Media Player 3
(2E) and Telephone (7E) options have to be coded in order for the
Blueway to work correctly.
Please note: Programming is not required if your vehicle had those
options enabled before.
7. Disclaimer
If your car’s electrical system begins to behave in an unpredictable
way please disconnect the Blueway interface physically immediately
and have it checked by your installer. Dension and its authorized
distributors and retailers are not liable for any incidental consequential
or indirect damages or loss and do not assume liability for any
diagnostic fees. The use of handheld devices while driving maybe
subject to government legislation. Please ensure that your use of
the Dension device complies with applicable traffic laws. Dension
does not assume liability for any events resulting from the illegal or
irresponsible use of handheld devices while driving.
Dension reserves the right to modify its products or specifications
without prior notice.
8. Warranty
Dension devices carry a one-year limited warranty that protects
you from defects in material and workmanship of products sold by
Dension or its authorized distributors and retailers. Dension does
not warrant any installation work or assume liability for any damage
caused due to negligence, improper installation or operation. For

Blueway
1. Introduction
The Dension Blueway lets you connect your smartphone or iPhone to
your original car radio, providing music playback, menu based control
(AVRCP 1.4 is necessary) through Bluetooth. The Blueway offers
Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming (via A2DP with full menu
browsing) and handsfree mobile call handling via the original buttons
and screens of your vehicle. Gives you the possibility to connect two
Bluetooth devices at the same time.
2. Supported devices
The Dension Blueway has a built in Bluetooth 3.0 module which
supports:
• HF (Handsfree) v1.6
• A2DP (Audio)
• AVRCP (Audio remote) v1.5
• PBAP (Phonebook access)
It means it can work with most mobile phones and Bluetooth devices
which support the same standards.
3. Bluetooth pairing
You can pair up to 5 phones to the Blueway and two phones can be
used for hands free and Bluetooth audio at the same time.
The order of the first pairing is important because the Blueway will
start to connect the firstly to the phone which can be found on the top
of the paired phone list. Than it will continue until it has successfully
connected to two devices or reached the end of the list.
The phone which will be found first will be the primary phone (marked
with 1). The following connected device will be the secondary phone
(marked with 2). If you would like to change the order of the devices,
you need to delete the pairing history in the menu of the Blueway and
do the pairing again starting with the phone which you would like to
use as the primary phone.
To see the feature differences between the primary and secondary
phones, please check this chart:
4. DIP switches
With the DIP switches which can be found on the bottom of the
Blueway, you can activate or deactivate Bluetooth options. Turn OFF
the 5th DIP switch in order to disable the phone functionality. This
is important if you would like to keep the factory phone module and
would like to use it together with the Blueway.
By switching DIP 6 into OFF position, you can turn the media functions
OFF. Do this, if you would like to keep the factory MDI and would like
to use the Blueway only for hands free.

own ringtone of the phone and the three built in ringtones of
the Blueway. (Please note: original ringtone support depends
on the connected device)
• About: In this menu you can check the current firmware
version of the Blueway
When you start the car, the Blueway will start to play the music
content of the primary phone automatically. After connecting the
primary phone, in the next 30 seconds, it will switch to the secondary
phone automatically if any sound will be sent from that phone
through Bluetooth.
Selecting the Music Source:
You can select the music source for playback in the Source Menu. In
this menu, you see the name of the two connected Bluetooth devices.
Browsing in the Music menu:
You can use the Music menu to list the music content of the device
which is selected in the source menu. The structure and language of
this menu is phone dependent.
In case of Apple iPhone, the factory music player need to run in the
background of the phone in order to brows the music content.
If the Application is not active you can get only limited controls
through the Blueway.
Using the phone menu:
You can enter the phone menu by pressing OK on the steering wheel
after you switched to the phone screen on the cluster display or by
pressing the phone button on the radio. After you enter the phone
menu, you see the following options:
• Phonebook: here you can see the phonebook of the primary
phone. You can select a phone number from your address
book to initiate a call. Contacts are shown in alphabetical
order, grouped by the first letters of the surnames.
Synchronization is possible up to 1500 phone numbers.
• Received / Missed / Dialled call: Provide access to the
respective call logs.
• Disconnect: Disconnect the paired phone.
Receiving and making phone calls: When receiving an incoming
call, the caller number or the corresponding contact name in your
phonebook is displayed from both connected mobile phones. You can
answer the call by pressing the Phone button on the steering wheel
or by pressing the relevant touch screen button on the head unit. The
music or radio gets muted and the audio of the call is directed to the
speakers.
You can reject an incoming call by a long press of the Phone button,
with the “OK” button on the steering wheel or by touching the red
hang-up icon on the head unit.
To start a call from the primary phone, please select the phone
number or contact from the Phonebook or from the call logs in the
Phone menu and press the relevant touch screen button.
To make call from the secondary phone, you need to use the controls
on the phone.
You can hang up an ongoing call in both cases by pressing the Phone
button or the “OK” button on the steering wheel or the relevant touch
screen button.
Please note: The system can control only one active hands free call
at a time (because of the limitation of the standard head units). To
avoid malfunctions, if there is an ongoing call on one of the connected
devices the Blueway will not handle phone calls from the other
connected phone. It means if there are two calls at the same time,
than the second one needs to be handled by the original controls of
the phone.
6. USB port functions
Non-charging version: The USB port can only be used for updating
the firmware of the Blueway.
Smart charging version: It allows you to charge your phone in an
adaptive (smart) way. It communicates with the phone to define the
optimal charging value. This communication process takes about a
minute, and the charging starts subsequently.
