Dension Gateway 500 installation with PCM2

[liberatod]

Hi All,

I attached below the procedure I used to successfully install the Dension Gateway 500 dual FOT on my Porsche 4S

with PCM2, Multi CD-Changer, Bose Sound System and GSM Phone.

However I'm still not happy about the quality of support I received from Dension!!!

My feeling is that they are only taking care on responding on-time to any open open tickets and missing follow-up.

I'm still waiting for a response on how to obtain a Dock Cable with Blue MINI-DIN connector to use with new iPod models.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks

Liberato

It looks pretty involved. When it comes to fiber optic cables I'm afraid I'd break it.

Has anyone had a Denison Gateway professionally installed? How did you go about finding an installer? I'm in Chicago if anyone can recommend someone.

The Installation is very easy if you follow my instructions.

You just need to pay attention when you use the fiber and relax when do connections.

I ended up having it professionally installed by Karl Nitz of Quality Mobile Installations here in the Chicago area. He met me at a local Porsche dealer where they enabled the CD changer feature on my radio to allow the Dension Gateway to work.

I'm glad I got it done by someone else. I'm fairly handy but after watching much of the install I realize that it would turn out being a frustrating all afternoon ordeal if I attempted to install it myself. I'm fairly handy but not especially good with electronics.

I'm putting together some info including pictures of my install here

I did mine myself and after figuring out the cable adaptors it was an easy job. The fiber is much stronger than you may think. I'd recommend going for it.

If you're fairly handy and have a couple hours you can probably install it without too much trouble. Unfortunately I get nervous working with fiber optics and have little spare time.

That said I'm thrilled with how well the system works. The sound quality is outstanding and once I got used to the special controls on my CDR-23 stereo I find it's quite easy to use. An unexpected bonus for me was that USB port. It can play whatever MP3, OGG and WMA files you throw at it. Just so I didn't have to always have an iPod in the car I went out and bought a 4G thumb drive at MicroCenter for $16 and filled it with music so now I just leave it in the glove compartment permanently so I'm never without music.
