Before Reading this please check compatibility as there are several kits available dependant on Audi Vehicles & Systems. If you have the MMI System you will need the Dension Gateway 500 system. I might also be worth reading this article to determine whether you have the CAN BUS system. Understanding Audi Systems
The Gateway 100 iPod Adapter for Audi Vehicles
The Gateway 100 is one of the best selling iPod adapters for Audi vehicles for various reasons, one of which is the unsurpassed quality of audio it's capable of processing. The Gateway 100 offers a full digital connection into the CD changer port on the car stereo, this means you don't just get CD quality audio you can get even better (dependant on the quality of MP3; typically 256Bps from iTunes and other good music providers).
This isn't the only reason that the gateway 100 is so popular for Audi Vehicles. Dension are the first to introduce text display on the cluster of compatible cars & stereos. For the first time as an Audi driver you can cycle through your tracks, artists and albums with the ability to read what your iPod or iPhone is playing. This is obviously a big advantage over the non text display kits available on the market.
This option isn't available for all Audi vehicles unfortunately and only works on vehicles with the CAN-BUS system installed with a full cluster display in the drivers console (between the speedo and the rev gauge). If you dont have this system we recommend the Gateway Lite for Audi. Which is in essence the same kit but with a simplified navigation structure & an additional USB input.
Benefits of the Gateway 100 system
As well as the text display and digital quality audio you also gain some other benefits from installing the Gateway 100. The iPod is by far the most convenient way of storing all of your music, the Gateway 100 uses this convenience and takes it to the next level. You no longer need to sift through your CD's to find your favourite album or flick through the 6 preset radio channels when you get bored of the egotistical DJ. Simply connect your iPod or iPhone to the Gateway 100 system and have access to your full music library, all controllable from your stereo or steering wheel controls for your convenience.
Other advantages of installing the 100 system is the charging facility, especially if you have an iPhone. The Gateway 100 provides charge when connected & the ignition is on so you should never run low on battery again. The kit will actually charge at the same rate as it does when plugged in at home! The Gateway 100 is far and away the best iPod car kit on the market which provides total integration into your car stereo.
How It Works.
Densions Gateway 100 come in two forms for Audi; CAN and Non-CAN. The greatest benefit of the Gateway 100 iPod adapter is the Text support. So if you don't have CAN & Full Cluster you should look at the Gateway Lite as another option.
The Gateway 100 like every other CD emulator works by connecting into the CD Changer port on the back of the stereo. You will lose the CD changer if you connect the Gateway 100 system. Once connected and powered you select the CD Changer button on the stereo to access the Gateway menu. From here you have various ways of controlling the music you listen to (See the manual for extended options).
You have two ways of connecting your iPod or iPhone to the system. Select a Dock Cable or Active cradle from the drop down menu's above.
Dock Cable - is the perfect way of keeping the iPod hidden when in use. You can hide in the Glove Box or Central Console to keep out the way of prying eyes
Active Cradle - is for mounting the iPod on the Dash or console ready for use if required.
