New Firmware is soon to be available for VW, Audi & Mercedes Dension Gateway units that will allow CD Track information to be displayed on screen, The update believed to be available for the VW, Audi & Merc Gateway 100, Gateway 300 and Gateway 500 iPod Car Kits.

This is obviously great news for the owners of VW’s, Audi’s and Mercedes and will really allow you to get the most out of your iPod. However there is no accurate timescale that suggest when the upgrade will become available, so stay tuned for more information.

All the Kits are available from iPod Car Kit Direct

The Dension Bluetooth adapters are currently undergoing re-development, Dension are updating the firmware on the BTA1000 bluetooth adapter (compatible with the Gateway 100, 300 and 500) which should make the BTA more consistent during operation. The update will also improve the DSP (Digital Sound Processing) which will improve the quality of the microphone and incoming calls.

The BTA100’s are currently out of stock and due to the upgrade being imminent it is likely that the next batch will be the upgraded unit.

Other BTA News,

Dension are also releasing a version specifically for the Gateway 500, The BTA1500 will in principle work in the same way as the BTA1000, However Dension have managed to utilise the additional power & functions from the Gateway 500 to make the 1500  a far greater product. The BTA1500 will allow the user to have full phone browsing (phone book) and may also be able to play any existing Audio and Video files on the phone.

The BTA1500 is due to be in stock soon

Dension are working very hard to complete the Gateway 100 iPod Car Kit for General Motors & Vauxhall. The Unit is believed to be compatible with the majority of the Vauxhall range providing the first fully digital iPod Car Kit solution for vauxhall cars. Currently the Ice>link One (previously known as the Ice>link FM) is the only unit from Dension that will work.

There is not a confirmed time scale for the release for the units but it is expected to be soon. The Unit is expected to retail at the same price as the other Gateway 100 units.
