1.4 Wi-Drive Utility Software
Wi-Drive Utility (WDU) is a software tool which runs on your home or office computer to set
Wi-Drive connection parameters and manage downloads.
Normally WDU runs in the background, and it automatically detects, when Wi-Drive is
connecting. WDU informs you with a popup message, and it performs automatic
synchronization with specified folders, or you can perform manual downloads to Wi-Drive as
a Network Attached Storage or via FTP.
Of course your computer must be able to establish Wi-Fi connection with Wi-Drive. Your
options are:
•Use a Wi-Fi router - Wi-Drive should be set as a Station (like a notebook)
•Directly with your Wi-Fi laptop/PC - Wi-Drive should be set as an Access Point (AP,
like a Wi-Fi Router).
2 Physical Installation of the device into the car
Wi-Drive is usually installed in the glove box or in the armrest compartment. Use the provided
fastening tapes to fix your device. Make sure that you have sufficient space on the front and
on the back for the USB devices (Flash drive, 3G modem, etc.) and for the Wi-Fi antenna.
With professional installation you can hide away the device and its cables behind the
dashboard, and use an USB extension cable for the USB storage.
The device physical installation typically takes 30-60 minutes.
BEFORE STARTING THE PHYSICAL INSTALLATION PLEASE TURN OFF
YOUR IGNITION AND TURN OFF YOUR CAR RADIO. PLEASE DO NOT
CONNECT THE CAR USB CONNECTOR TO THE CAR YET!
2.1 POWER CONNECTION FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION
If you don’t want to install the Wi-Drive permanently in your car, you can use the cigarette
lighter connector to power it.
PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CONNECTOR TO WI-DRIVE YET!
PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT THE CAR USB CONNECTOR TO THE CAR YET!
CONNECT the cigarette lighter connector to your car’s 12V plug.
You can also use this option to quickly test your setup before fixing it into the car. Depending
on the vehicle, there are several options:
A. If the cigarette lighter gives continuous 12V, just use the cable included in the
package. However please note, that in this case the Wi-Drive can not “sense” the
ignition key, and will not start operation on that. Instead you need to start the engine,
and the elevated voltage level will start and stop Wi-Drive operation. Of course the
regular wake-up and Wi-Fi connection and download functionality is not effected by
this.
B. If the cigarette lighter gives switched 12V, than there is no power in the cigarette
lighter when the car is parked, therefore Wi-Drive cannot wake up for regular Wi-Fi
connections. In this case you have the following options:
oInstall Wi-Drive permanently (the best option anyway!)

Wi-Drive Installation Manual
© Dension Audio Systems 6(26)
oUse Wi-Drive only as a secure Access Point and Netradio, when the car is on.
Notes:
Some new cars feature a 5V level cigarette lighter connection. This is not enough for Wi-
Drive. In this case the only choice is the permanent installation.
2.2 POWER CONNECTION FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION
PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CONNECTOR TO WI-DRIVE YET!
PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT THE CAR USB CONNECTOR TO THE CAR YET!
CONNECT the 3 power leads by use the included power harness:
Red: +12V Battery (continuous 12 Volts).
Purple: +12V Switch ON signal (ACC, Ignition on, Radio on). This connection is
optional. If connected, this +12V will switch on Wi-Drive. Not all cars have
12V Ignition, if not connected Wi-Drive will perform automatic switch on by
the elevated voltage level when the engine is running.
Black: GND (ground).
To connect the power leads to the right points of the vehicle you need certain expertise and
tools. If you are not familiar with these, please contact a professional installation shop.
2.3 WI-FI ANTENNA CONNECTION AND PLACEMENT
The Wi-Drive package includes two Wi-Fi antennas; the device is capable of dual antenna
operation.
CONNECT one of the supplied antennas to Antenna1, and the other to Antenna2 and screw
them on.
The Wi-Fi range and performance depends on many things, both at the vehicle side, and the
Wi-Fi installation at your home/office/garage.
For the synchronisation you need a good Wi-Fi coverage to outside of the car, for the 3G
Access Point you need good coverage inside the cabin.
The general practices for home Wi-Fi installations are valid here as well. You can reach the
best performance if the car antenna can “see” the home antenna. To achieve this, you might
consider modifying your home installation as well.
You may put the Wi-Fi router near to the window, or use an additional Wi-Fi repeater. If you
park in a garage, you might install a dedicated router there too.
For longer distances you can use special orientated antennas on the home side.
For more hints please visit www.dension.com/widrive, or consult an expert.
Antenna locations
To select the best antenna locations in the vehicle you have to consider also the usual
parking conditions.

Wi-Drive Installation Manual

3. Figure: Antenna locations and signal pattern
It is always best, if you can park the car facing toward your home Wi-Fi antenna. In this case
the best location for the car’s Wi-Fi antennas is the lower center part of the front windscreen
(see 3. Figure). Place the antennas about 4 - 5 cm (1.5 - 2 inches) above the dash surface
and leave 1 - 2 cm between them.
To fix the antenna, please remove the cover tape, and press the adhesive surface of the
antenna to a clean glass surface. Adjust the antenna cable to the fittings of the dashboard.
Please avoid bending the cable too sharply; this might destroy Wi-Fi performance.
Alternatively you may use the inside surface of the front or the back plastic bumpers, or the
housing of the side mirrors. These locations normally provide better directional signal
strength, and allow “invisible” installation, but require antenna extension cables, and some
installation expertise. Furthermore, the external antenna location will result somewhat lower
signal strength inside the cabin, when you use Wi-Drive as an in-vehicle Internet Access
Point. In most cases the signal strength will be enough due to the short distance; however it
is worth testing before finalizing the installation.
If your car has metallic content in the windscreen, than the inside antenna installation will not
work for external connectivity; you have to use the plastic bumpers or the side mirrors as
installation locations. In this case the externally placed antennas may not cover the cabin for
in-vehicle Internet Access Point application. For this situation install the two antennas: one
inside, the other outside. The inside antenna location is now not as critical, and may not be
attached to the windscreen, rather in the glove box.
Tips:
Try out the Wi-Fi performance before fixing the antennas and the cables. Use some
temporary adhesive tape to fix the antennas to the selected positions, and test the signal
strength by connecting to the home computer.
If the signal is still low, you can try to relocate your WLAN router. Put it to the window
temporarily, and adjust its antenna direction parallel to the car antenna.
You may also install an external antenna on your home router.
In order to help the installation, Wi-Drive features an approximate signal strength indication in
Station mode (Signal LED). For details, see chapter 6.

CONNECT the pigtail car USB plug to the USB port of the car’s audio system now!
If the cable length is not enough, use a standard USB male-female extension cable
(included). Please note that maximum length of the USB extension is 2 meters.
Prepare a USB Flash drive for the installation by formatting it to FAT32 and copy a couple of
MP3 files (maximum 2 or three) to it.
2.6 Test your physical Installation – Part2: MP3 playback
In order to test the successful device installation, check the following:
1. Power on Wi-Drive by starting the engine. The Wi-Drive “Status LED” should turn on
Orange for a few seconds (boot up), than blink green slowly – to indicate Access
Point (AP) mode.
2. Insert the USB Flash drive (containing some music files) into the “USB Storage” port,
and select the USB playback on the radio, the music playback should function as
normally (the radio will run indexing of the music files that can take a minute or longer
depending on the radio).
3 In-vehicle Internet Access Point Application, 3G configuration
If you want to use Wi-Drive as an in-vehicle Internet Access Point, you need an Internet
access device. You have several options to provide that:
Option 1. 3G USB Modem (dongle) with a dedicated SIM-card, and subscription.
Option 2. Your mobile phone, with it’s built in (3G) Internet access and subscription.

Wi-Drive Installation Manual

To connect your Phone with Wi-Drive you have several options depending on your
Phone’s type.
A. Connect your phone with a simple USB cable to one of the “USB Extension”
ports - if your phone has a USB connector. Note, the USB cable will also
charge your phone, while connected. Your phone must support USB RNDIS
function to do this.
B. Connect your Phone via Bluetooth (PAN profile) to Wi-Drive. A USB
Bluetooth dongle must be connected to one of the “USB Extension” ports, and
paired with your Phone. Your Phone must support Blueooth PAN (Personal
Area Network) profile, and provide Internet tethering (sharing) function.
C. Connect your Phone via Bluetooth (DUN profile) to Wi-Drive. A USB
Bluetooth dongle must be connected to one of the “USB Extension” ports, and
paired with your Phone. Your Phone must support Blueooth DUN (Dial Up
Networking) profile, and provide Internet tethering (sharing) function.
In any option you select, the Internet accessing device (modem or phone) should be placed
to a location, where it can have good radio signal reception. This is practically the same
position recommended for the Wi-Fi antenna: the front middle center of the dashboard. Use
standard USB extension cable if necessary.
In case of metallic windscreens you face the same problem, as you want to make phone
calls from the cabin. The options you have:
oUse the factory installed phone kit (if you have) to access the Internet, and share the
connection with Wi-Drive via Bluetooth.
oInstall a 3G modem externally, i.e. in the housing of the side mirror.
3.1 OPTION1: 3G USB dongle setup
For configuring the 3G USB modem (dongle) please follow the steps! Please check your
modem’s compatibility on www.dension.com/widrive.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR 3G MODEM IS NOT CONNECTED YET TO WI-
DRIVE!
1. Power on Wi-Drive by starting the engine. The Wi-Drive “Status LED” should turn on
Orange for a few seconds (boot up), than blink green slowly – to indicate Access

4 Wireless Content Synchronisation Setup and Configuration
After a successful physical installation of Wi-Drive to the car you can set up the system for
automatic wireless content synchronisation. Your Wi-Drive must have proper connections to
power, to the car’s USB port, to the Wi-Fi antennas and the USB storage device (hard disk or
pendrive) must be connected to the USB Storage port.
4.1 USB Mass Storage Synchronisation with Wi-Drive Utility
Setup steps:
1. Make sure that Wi-Drive is in sleep mode (see Push button operation in chapter 6)
and the car radio is switched-off.
2. Insert a USB pen drive to the “USB Storage” slot (single) of Wi-Drive.
Turn on Wi-Drive by switching on the ignition (or by starting the engine), or just simply
pressing the Push button on Wi-Drive. Wi-Drive will write a configuration file to the
pendrive (named wid-config.update). It is important, that your head unit is switched
off.
You will see a short blinking of the LED on the pen-drive (if it has), while Wi-Drive is
writing. This takes a few seconds only (wait 30 seconds), than remove the pen-drive
and take it to you computer.
3. Install and start Wi-Drive Utility (WDU) software on your PC. Microsoft Windows XP or
Vista OS and 6 MB free disk space is required. (We recommend Windows XP if you
have the choice).
You can download the latest version WDU install package from:
www.dension.com/widrive
Run the downloaded install package and follow the Setup Wizard instructions, answer
Yes where needed, and enable network access for WDU, if you have a firewall.
For automatic synchronization the install package also includes the Rsync utility for
Windows, please allow its installation also!
Launch Wi-Drive Utility. At first time running and if no devices are configured the
Installation Wizard will start.
