from the 6-way microfi t back into the radio using the other Fakra-
RCA converter cable.

8. Connect all remaining connections (Rear Seat displays, DVD, 
Cameras, handbrake detect etc.) as per section 4.

9. In some cases with the NTG1 vehicles there may not be a Quad 
lock style connector on the rear of the head unit. In this case you 
will need to use the universal harness for connectivity. (Universal 
harness)

If you wish to use the factory TV-Tuner, please set the Gateway 500 
to bypass mode. In this case all Gateway and AVR functionalites will 
be disabled.

Depending on headunit capabilities the Video format of input/
output signals can be set to NTSC or PAL using a USB confi g fi le.

In most countries when the car is moving video is not permitted 
by law on the head unit (this is the default, recommended 
confi guration of AVR).

Pending local regulations and user liability, the Video in Motion 
support may be enabled on AVR using a USB confi g fi le. 

Please see more details on the USB confi guration  fi les on the 
Dension website.

Introduction

Warning! Always make sure that your vehicle’s battery is 
disconnected before beginning installation and that you have 
your head unit’s (radio’s) security code (if applicable). 

The Dension AVR will enable you to access audio and visual data from 
a seperate, aftermarket source (iPod, DVD etc.) and view it on your 
vehicle’s original head unit (radio) via a Gateway (GW) 500 module. 

Please note that TV-Tuner activation may be required to enable the 
AV input. Contact your dealer for more information. There are also 
various options that will allow you to connect your aftermarket 
source that would not be possible with the OE system (cameras/rear 
seat entertainment etc.). Check the user guide for all functions.

All photos/illustrations are for representation purposes only and may diff er 
visually from the equipment in your vehicle. Information correct at time of

cannot be held liable for any damages caused by the incorrect installation of 
any Dension product.
