File navigation with Gateway300
@ p64: Does the dension Gateway 300 provide navigational (folder name) and file information (e.g. ID3 Tag) by the original headunit display, just like if you were using an mp3 CD in the CD player (no satnav!)? Pictures would be welcome
How about the controlling? Is this also working by the steering wheel? For the installation, is there anything else (connecting to ground, ignition etc.) needed except for connecting the Gateway 300 to the CD changer connector of the original radio? Because I'm seriously playing with the idea of buying one of those, including the Bluetooth adapter (BTA 1000). I asked my local dealer about the original Honda hands-free unit for mobile phones and he said it would be at about 400 Euros, including installation. I don't think the installation of the original hardware will be lots easier than installing the Gateway 300 + BTA 1000 (without installation approx. 220 Euros) and with the latter one, accepting or rejecting a call can even be done by the headunit or steering wheel. Additionally, one can connect an USB mass storage device if wanted, just like you did. So the dension solution is money well spent IMHO. Greetings DynoFK2 [edit] Ok, thx to seiken, the displaying questions have been answered. There's no useful information displayed on the original headunits display. In fact, everything else would have surprised me, as it comes through the CD Changer control and usually this connection doesnt provide track information by the stock CD changer anyways. I made a mistake in my original post, the gateway 300 + BTA 1000 would be approx. 260 Euros without installing. The other price was for combination with the Gateway 100. Another thing that seiken mentioned was that he has serious echo on the calling partner side via the hands free function of the BTA 1000. So I looked around and got multiple feedback from local dealers. For additional description see dension gateway (100/300) and BTA 1000 feedback Last edited by DynoFK2 : 10th April 2008 at 11:57. |

Sorry for the late response. Navigation through folders is possible through HU and steering wheel buttons (back/fwd, hold>disc skip). And even if the BT1000 would perform ok, I don't think I would like the way it is controlled.

@p64: No problem. Why do you dislike the controlling? "Next" and "Back" to accept calls, what could be easier
BTW and OT I decided to go for a FunkwerkDabendorf Ego Flash that also includes A2DP. The whole solution will probably be somewhat cheaper but won't provide the broad range of connectable devices like the dension solution. Furthermore, it won't support steering wheel control of accepting or rejecting calls, neither controlling the played back music by the car radio controls. The advantages are the display for seeing incoming call numbers and that it is designed as a HFT and thus will probably provide good sound quality and no echo. If possible (display cable length), I want to position the display on the ceiling box of the front interior lights, which should give a good reachability of the buttons, subtle integration in the car interior and, depending on the display's viewing angle, I should be able to see the callers info or navigate through my phonebook. Phone call control is possible by speech, so this could replace the original car buttons as control. |
