I might be worth reading this article to determine whether you have the CAN BUS system. Understanding Audi Systems
Dension Gateway Lite GWL1AI2/GWL1AU2
The Gateway Lite is Densions solution for non-text capable Audi vehicles when the user wants to operate their iPod in the same way as their factory CD Changer. Some Audi vehicles, especially older models, do not have the CAN Bus cluster installed on the dashboard meaning iPod information cannot be displayed. In this case the Dension CAN products do not work but the Gateway Lite makes for a compatible alternative.
The GWL1AU2 and GWL1AI2 are designed to work with Audi’s factory Stereos, the kits plug into the exsisting wiring looms on the back of the radio unit. The GWL1AU2 version fits to the ISO plug found on stereos Pre 2007 with the GWL1AI2 fits stereos with the new quadlock (although some earlier stereos such as the RNSE use the quadlock connection).
As the kit connects to the CDC port on the stereo, it is completely self sufficient , taking power from the cars supply without the need for any additional connections. Occasionally additional grounding is required but where this is needed an earth wire (usually black in colour) is provided on the kits harness. If this cable is not earthed sufficiently, the kit will not charge the iPod or give audio playback.

Question:
"I recently changed my phone from an iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4, will the Dension Gateway Lite still be fully compatible?"
Answer:
Yes, all current Dension products are fully compatible with the iPhone 4.
Question:
"I am not too sure which version of Concert Stereo I have, how do I find out?"
Answer:
As a general rule, the Gen II + versions were put into new vehicles from 2007, however you can not always rely on this being the case. It is always best to check with an Audi Dealership if you are unsure, as they can look up the factory specs over the phone using their service computers.
Question:
"I have a new Audi, it has a Concert Stereo but has got an SD card slot on the stereo, is this kit compatible?"
Answer:
Unfortunately that stereo is not compatible with the Gateway Lite, we would recommend the Dension Ice Link One for your vehicle.
