The Ultimate Smart Car Integration Kit for your iPod...The Dension Gateway 100 brings complete integration of the Apple iPod with your factory fitted Smart radio. Simply connect the Gateway 100 to the CD changer socket of your radio and start enjoying crisp, clean digital music. Imagine having access to over 10,000 MP3s at the touch of a button!
The operation is simple: Gateway 100 translates CD changer messages to iPod controls and switches the iPod automatically on and off as you select/deselect the CD changer source. The iPod is controlled from the head unit‘s CD changer keys and steering wheel controls (where available) and your iPod is charged while connected.
Forget the need for poor quality cassette adapters, illegal FM Transmitters and trailing cigarette lighter cables. The Dension Gateway 100 is available for a huge range of OEM Factory Fitted and Aftermarket radios.
Select from Dension's range of iPod applications such as Dock Cable or Active Cradle for a perfect integration.
All applications support both Dension user interface mode and original iPod user interface mode and now Gateway 100 now features video output for great integration with rear seat entertainment systems (AV Extender required).
Simple interface...The Gateway Menu is the main feature of the Gateway 100 user interface allowing you to easily navigate through the different play modes such as scan, repeat and shuffle. The menu also lets you enter the playlist browser, where you can access all of your iPod's playlists enhancing your listening experience. The Gateway 100 gives your iPod two modes of operation.
1. iPod Direct Access Mode - The iPod will play/pause when you enter/exit CD changer mode on your radio. In addition, the iPod responds to FF/RW from your head unit keys and steering wheel controls (where available)
2. iPod Playlist Mode - Your iPod maps the first five playlists stored on the iPod to CDs 1-5 on your head unit keys. Although the iPod keypad is disabled in this mode, the iPod display (and CD Text/dashboard displays in some applications) will show ID3 data of the currently playing song. Advanced content features including Random, Repeat, Scan and Album Play are also available, even on radios that don't have these features. Pressing CD6 accesses the ice>Link Plus menu that lets you browse all of the playlists on your iPod using your head unit FF/RW keys. The menu also provides configuration options for advanced features of the ice>Link Plus.
