You might be thinking what’s the difference? How do they work with my ipod? Which is the best? Well the answer is quite simple.
The FM Modulator and FM Transmitter both reproduce an input signal that can be turned into a playable audio signal that your stereo can decode. However this is done in differing ways.

The FM Transmitter decodes the data and transmits through the air in different radio frequencies. This is then picked up by your stereo (aerial) and played in the same way as you would listen to the radio. However this method can cause several major problems, as the transmission can be heard by anybody listening to that specific frequency. Which in its self is a major problem unless you are broadcasting personal information?

The problem occurs as this can be considered illegal broadcasting via pirate radio. Basically taking over the airwaves with an unauthorised signal, & potentially overhauling a legitimate broadcast on their frequency range. Which in turn leads us to the other problem with this system, If the frequency that you are trying to replace is VERY strong it will replace your transmission. Sometimes playing both signals, other times playing interference over the audio.

The FM Modulator works in a very similar way to the FM Transmitter, however it has one difference. The FM Modulator does not transmit any signal. The Modulator is hardwired to the back of the stereo via the Aerial socket, so rather than broadcasting the signal it’s sent down the wire. The interference is minimal and the sound quality is much greater (pretty much CD Quality). The only disadvantage of this system is that the unit has to be installed to the stereo.

Good News, again,

The Dension BTA1500 Bluetooth adapter is available and ready to ship again, Dension earlier in the year removed the item from production as there was rumours that the units produced were faulty and not compatible with the gateway 500, (the only kit that the BTA1500 is compatible with)

Dension do not know where the rumours started but have thoroughly tested the BTA1500’s and have found no faults with any of the recalled units, and have started the production of the next batch already as the demand is so high.
iPodcarkitdirect should still have a small quantity remaining after all the pre-orders have been dispatched, and are expecting the next batch early next week.

The installation of the Gateway 100 & 300 units are usually trouble free, in fact the most troublesome part of the installation is removing the head-unit. We have listed a few features regarding the installation that will help you when deciding whether or not you should try it yourself. (Please remember that The Gateway 100 & 300 products are car and radio specific and have different pin setting for different units)

Preparation,

Disconnect the head-unit (stereo) from the battery. If you have a security code applied ensure that you have it recorded.

Remove the Head-Unit

Often the radio will have a specific radio Key that will need to be used when removing the Stereo, (available at http://www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk/iPod_Car_Accessories/Radio_Keys/). Simply insert the keys into the slots and pull out the head-unit.

Remove the Original Harness

Remove the harness that is attached to the stereo, these harness look different in different car models and manufactures.
Replace the Dension Harness
Attach the Dension Harness to the stereo and then re attach the old harness to Dension harness. The Denson attachment should then be connected to the Dension PCB (black box).

Attach & route the application

When the harness have been connected together, connect the Dension application (Dock Cable or Active cradle) to the PCB and rout into the position that you would like it to be kept, (for dock cables this is usally in the glove box, active cradles are usually attached to the Dashboard)

Insert the head-unit

Insert the head-unit back into the original position and re connect to the battery.
Remember,
The Key code for the radio, updated iPod software & Dension software also resolve 99% of installation problems

For more detailed instruction refer to the Manual when purchased, or visit http://install.dension.com

Dension are producing a new accessory for the gateway 500 enabling users to control the functions of the Gateway 500 in a much more user friendly way. The AVR unit will allow videos to be watched on original screen or on a display installed in the rear of the vehicle (IVE1000 still required to play AV).

Densions main reason for developing the new AVR accessory is that it allows multi source operations, meaning that the user can play multiple choices, so maybe you would like to listen to your favourite music on your iPod while driving & keep the Kids quite by watching their favourite Video in the back. This is set to be a revolutionary break through for Dension as multi source has never been done to this extent in car audio.

The AVR may be some time away as Dension are first trying to complete the production of various projects like the BTA2000 Bluetooth Adapter, the CD Retention kits for BMW & some secret projects we can’t tell yet!! (Prepare to be amazed because you are going to want some of these). However more information on all new products will be available soon at www.iPodcarkitdirect.co.uk

The New BTA1500 has been in development since the BTA1000 was discontinued several months ago, Dension realising the importance of this technology to its customers have put their full concentration on completing this project in minimum time and maximum testing ensuring the new Bluetooth unit lives up to expectations.

The New BTA1500 Bluetooth adapter is only compatible with the Gateway 500 Fibre Optic Systems. The BTA2000 Densions’ next product is expected to be ready nearer October 2008 and is expected to be compatible with all Dension Gateway systems.

The Sleeves attach into the Dension Active Cradle allowing a snug fit for the New iPods. This allows users to incorporate the Active Cradle as part of the iPod Car Kit using the new iPods for the first time with out the need for a passive cradle or holder.

All New Active Cradle Kits are set to include the new sleeves in the distant future, however currently the Active Cradle kit will still be produced with the older iPod Sleeves as the majority of Dension users still have the older iPods.
The Package includes a sleeve for the iPod Touch, iPhone & iPod Nano 3Gen with the iPod Classic also fitting the insert. These are currently on special offer to all iPodcarkitdirect customers for £14.97, this price is set to go up in the near future.

As some of you may well be aware, the DICE Electronics FM RDS iPod integration kit has been available on “pre-order” from us for a while now. This gives you guys the opportunity to get your name down on a list to be the first to get one when they land as the first batch is very limited and exclusive to iPod Car Kit Direct.

This units promises to be an absolute winner from the start. It has built in RDS so it will display the track titles (ID3 Tagging) through the stereo (Where you usually see it say “Radio 2″ for example). It is fully hard wired and has a built in break out connection which means that when your iPod is connected, the cars aerial isn’t - eliminating ALL interference.

It will work with all older Apple iPods and hopefully the newer Apple iPods but this is yet to be confirmed.

So if your wanting an iPod solution that will fit any car, this could very well be the kit!

We are still pushing DICE very hard on the matter, trying to get it available as soon as possible.

The team at iPod Car Kit Direct is very excited to add another product to its HUGE and unbeatable range of iPod Car Kits.

The DICE Electronics iPod Car Kit has been around for a few months now and welcomes its newest addition to the iPod Car Kit scene… Its very own cradle. Previously, all DICE Electronics iPod integration kits were only available with an iPod cable - this is now the past!

The very sleek looking cradle will also be doubled up as a video output incase you need your video on your Apple iPod to play through and screen in your car. Most Audi, BMW and Mercedes Navigation screens can work with this video output.

iPod Car Kit Direct have added the option to add this cradle into your basket when you purchase the DICE car kit - getting it all in one package, giving you a bigger saving!
