Fusion electronics are quickly becoming one of the most popular car audio brands around, Their reputation is built on the back of producing Good quality, Good looking and very cost effective products, directed specifically towards a younger generation. Fusion found a gap in the car audio market and discovered that many people in the modified car scene are equally concerned about how the product looks as well as how it performs.

This helped create a boom in professionally installed, fantastic looking “show car” installs, where installs were showed off for the image as well as sound quality, and this is still a growing market that many manufactures are looking to take advantage of.

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 Easiest way to improve the quality of audio in your car is to improve your speakers. Standard factory fitted speakers usually only provide between 5w & 20w peak output & usually made from inferior substandard materials. The materials used are prone to distort and whine when the power supplied is turned up. Considering that most Factory head-units (stereos) only supply an amplified power signal of up to 20w, you can see that the speakers are very quickly at the maximum level.

Aftermarket Speakers are usually between 50w RMS to 250w RMS (400w Peak), instantly providing the extra quality needed. Although the Power output is not the only guide to how good the speakers are, it is a good indication to how the speakers will handle the power provided and reproduce into a good output.

Depending on the level, quality and volume wanted or required, factory head-units may not be able to reproduce the signal to a powerful enough level. This is only usually the case when building a whole system involving Amps & Subs, in which case you would need either an aftermarket stereo or a line-driver.

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
