The Dension came installed with the car when I bought it, so about all I can say is that it fits in there.

Even used Tesa 9mm fabric tape which is the OEM wiring tape!

Also the best news, the CD-R-23 can actually change the song on both poweramp (Android music app) as well as spotify!

There is one more thing to try and that's setting the DIP switches to PCM2 but that will probably stop it from working.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey all,
After the saga of getting my CD changer enabled I finally got my Dension Gateway 500 working.
Haven't been able to find an answer to this:
Has anyone or does anyone use the BTA1500 unit with their CDR23 + Gateway 500 ?
The manual says it only supports the PCM2 units but im not sure if that's for calls. I only want to use the audio streaming.
Fairly sure I've answered my own question there but wanted to double check.
When I have the BTA1500 unit connected my phone can't find it in Bluetooth devices. Tried resetting everything but couldn't get it to work.
There is one more thing to try and that's setting the DIP switches to PCM2 but that will probably stop it from working.
Thanks
Quick update on this, I wasn't able to get the BTA1500 working - I also spoke to Erick at bumper plugs who advised that it would only be mono sound even if it did work.
Fast forward a bit and I've found a working solution:
Bovee WMA1000, which i can you confirm works with the Dension Gateway 500 (writing this up here because I couldn't find ANY info on it!).
Happy motoring!
No problem! I hate wires so I wanted something Bluetooth
You can actually control the tracks if you're using an iPhone, ipad etc and your iTunes library.
However because I've got an Android it just streams the music without controls but that's all I was after anyway! Info was really difficult to find so im really happy it works!
Update on this, finally got it all mounted! Made a bracket that is held in by a factory screw which meant the install the completely in-invasive. Even used Tesa 9mm fabric tape which is the OEM wiring tape!
Used all the existing most connections as well.
Also the best news, the CD-R-23 can actually change the song on both poweramp (Android music app) as well as spotify! THANKS BOVEE! Awesome product and highly recommend!
I picked up a Bovee as well, and it's been working great. The BT connection is very reliable, and track switching works with Spotify on iOS too. My Dension was just installed in the empty space below the console, which does allow plugging the cable in directly in the cabin. But the Bovee has been so reliable I haven't had any reason to hard-wire the phone.
I just posted a thread about the overall install. The Dension came installed with the car when I bought it, so about all I can say is that it fits in there.
Fair enough, this was something I was tossing up between, installing it in the cabin or installing in the frunk. Ended up going the frunk option and using a 1mm steel bracket into an existing mounting hole. Worked out quite well but still wouldn't mind seeing how it mounts in the console.
While creating the loom I also hardwired a long ctek charging cable too.
Do you have a link to the thread?
Found it under your profile, ill have a read!
FYI for those looking to install bluetooth into their fibre optic/MOST sound systems I came across this:

Would have opted of this over the Dension + Bovee but I didn't know it existed.
Great alternative and a step up from hard wired FM modulator but perhaps a step down from the Dension.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
