Thanks for the link, but i still dont see any of this information on the web site.
Eric has been a great help for me getting the unit running, but there were a LOT of things that would have been nice to know before i installed the unit, that were not in the manual.

The details on what v2.15 does are included in the zip file entitled: HISTORY_GW5_MOST.txt that is included with the downloadable zip file on their website.
Have you tried the cerberus help desk Dension uses? I've gotten pretty quick answers in the past...
I too have been frustrated in the past at the quirkiness of the GW operation with my car - I think the software sitting in the PCM system is super clunky and not very intuitive, necessitating rather unintuitive programming on Dension's part. It's exactly the same in the MMI in our A6
I will say, that I plugged the BTA1500 (Dension bluetooth) in and it worked exactly as advertised...

Karl - do you have the pdf files for user, install and tech guides? Email me anytime. Much more clear than the written stuff.

My unit was installed behind the head unit so I can't get to it. I do have the usb and ipod wires run to the glove box. Since I have no where to plug a flash drive in, is it possible to hook up a laptop and do the update that way.

The Dension comes with a usb extension cable so that if you install the box in an out of reach location, you can use the usb extention cable to do upgrades with.
