Why when you can have hundreds of albums on the mp3 player would you want to keep a 10 album cd changer?

 

Quality.

 

It came with the car so seems like a waste to just get rid of it but i guess you raise a valid point...

 

I too I`m thinking of the dension gateway 100 for iPod and the BTA2000 bluetooth for the phone,but would love a definative answer if this is compatible? The only details of head unit is an "Alfa 947/937 " with Bose,don`t have any info or pics on plugs/fittings? I would love to be sure before I commit to buying.

They say in their site that it`s compatible with the 147,156 Blaupunkt 937 unit?

 

Mine's running a Dension Ice>Link with the 937 High stereo and it works like a dream. Damn expensive for a cable but it works

Why can't Alfa/ Blaupunkt play by the rules everyone else play by and make the CD changer port compatible with a £3 cd changer - headphone cable. Why they force us down the route of buying a £100 'interface' I don't know.

 

I've just bought a dension gateway 300 for my GT, and it does indeed work.. But i'm fked if I know how to use it!

It seems it uses the cd changer slots to provide additional functions.. ie cd1 for playlista and folder, cd2 to scan artists.. Anybody got one and worked out how to select playlists, then skip tracks?

Also does mp3 tagging work? My firend who has a mini says his ipod shows a dension logo on screen and the mp3 id3 tags settings were turned on and off from the ipod. Is this true of the GT?

Oh.. And why does my volme change when I speed up and slow down!?

i don't know the answers to your other questions, but the volume-change is a 'feature' on early model GT's. it is designed to increase the volume to overcome ambient (road) noise.

i think you'll find a little microphone in the area next to the handbrake, in the front of the narrow/rectangular oddments bin.

i don't exactly know if you can disable the feature - i presume you can. or disconnecting the mic may achieve that (or it may need a modification to wire a resistor across the terminals).

 

I think theres an option to turn the volume-change off in the menu on the stereo. Cant remember what they call it but its in the handbook

 

I disconnected it without a prob

 

ON my 147 with the same head unit (I think) it's the SVC option in the menu. As you say, it increases/decreases the volume with the speed of the vehicle.
Can't say I've noticed it really.

(If it works with the microphone, does that mean if your passenger keeps raising their voice to be heard, the radio will drown them out?:cheese: )
