Title: Dension Gateway 100. What features on RCD500?
Post by: Webby on October 08, 2009, 12:10:18 pm

If I install a Dension Gateway 100 in my GTI, what will show up on the display of my factory fitted head unit? ( I think it's an RCD500)
Do I get track names or does it just show up as CD1, CD2, CD3 etc?

On the RCD500 it will just show CD info.

I wouldn't buy a Dension product again if I'm honest, they make the genuine VW ones and they're slow and unreliable.  In fact mine lasted 6 months before I ripped it out.  I've had a couple of Connects2 units before and they're much more robust.

Thanks for your help Tom, but you have to apply for an account with connects2 just to even find out how much things cost! Can't be arsed if I'm honest!
