Help using Dension - can I stream via Bluetooth?

[rossyl]

Hi All

I'm now the proud owner of a Meteorite Silver 2007 AM Vantage. It is a fabulous car, to look at as well as to drive!

The previous owner I am quite sure installed a Dension unit. There is an iPod lead in the glove box, pressing CD links up to the iPod lead there is also this in the passenger footwell.



I plugged in a Layen iDock into the iPod lead in the glove box, in the hope that I would be able to stream via Bluetooth.

The device pairs with my phone but I cannot play anything.

The Dension Unit scrolls and says "Aux GW"
Is there any solution to allow me to stream via Bluetooth? I'd like to stream from Android and iPhone.

I do have an iPod which I plugged in. I think that each of the 6 CD's have a different function. Does anyone know what these are?

Thanks very much
R

Thanks very much for the first hand (and identical) experience. Does the Tune2Air work no matter what CD is selected?
Why oh why have they stopped doing the Tune2Air I do not know. But I will have a hunt for one.

If I can get a bit of advice on the various Denison modes in relation to what CD is selected I'd be grateful.

Thanks,
R

Sump - thanks so much! I've ordered.

Any ideas on what the various CD's do?

Also, sometimes it the Denison just stops working. Do you guys just hit reset whilst driving?

Thanks

Thanks Sump.

I've had said look for the manual but not found anything useful.

I use this with my dension as the offical Dension BT thing was a pain to use.

Connect that to the ipod lead on the dension and then you can connect your phone via BT and play music in ipod mode. You can also skip tracks on the HU.

Hey Sump and all

Unfortunately I bought this and had no luck. Although when plugged in I can connect via Bluetooth, it unfortunately does not stream the music.

Anyone found any others?

Cheers Sump.

Will give that a go tonight and let you know.

Thanks

Hi

So I plugged in an iPod, was able to select iPod UI and iPod GW.

Once I plugged in the Bluetooth Adaptor, I could not select anything. When I scroll through the Source it just says "no iPod GW" and "no iPod UI" Which leads me to think that the Bluetooth Adaptor is not tricking the Dension into thinking an iPod is plugged in.

DjMac56 - do you have this system working in your car. If so, that might be worth a play.

If anyone has a Bluetooth Adaptor that they have plugged into a Dension and it is allowing them to stream music via bluetooth, would anyone mind lending their Bluetooth Adaptor to me so that I can see if mine will allow the same? Or, if anyone has a spare that works, I would happily buy it off them.

Thanks Sump.

Now purchased. Fingers crossed this one works. 4th time lucky!

All i know is the information in the first post. Which is a picture of a switch. There was no paperwork given in relation to the Dension on sale of the car. However the operating system follows exactly that of the Dension 500.
