Dension Gateway Lite GWL1AU2 and GWL1VW1
Being part of the same group, Seat use similar stereo units to their sister manufactures such as Audi and Volkswagon. This means that the Dension products are partially cross compatible, allowing Seat owners to benefit from having an integrated iPod solution.
A lot of the Seat vehicles do not have display clusters, making iPod navigation complicated, luckily the Gateway Lite gives you integration to the factory stereo whilst leaving you to browse your iPod like you would normally do. The kit gives you basic control from the factory stereo, allowing you to skip tracks back and forth, and also charges your iPod/iPhone whilst connected.
The kit also includes a USB connection meaning additional music can be played from flash memory and pen drives. The kit will automatically switch to the device that was last connected, removing the need for an additional switch.

Question:
"Is this kit compatible with the new iPhone and iTouch?"
Answer:
Yes, this kit works with all iPods and iPhones excluding iShuffle.
Question:
"My stereo is not labled, how do I know which I have"
Answer:
The best way of discovering the model of your vehicles stereo system to to ask the manufacturer, ie contact your local Seat dealership. They should be able to give you the information over the phone using your registration plate as reference.
Question:
"Can I select albums and artists using my stereo controls with this kit"
Answer:
The Gateway Lite is designed to emulate a basic CD changer, meaning you can only change tracks with the stereo and steering wheel controls. If your vehicle does not have the RDS cluster on the dashboard it can be very difficult to use stereo controls to navigate albums etc so the Gateway Lite makes a good choice.
