Hi, anyone out there seen or used this accessory....

http://www.dension.com/accessories.php?pageID=46

What are its capabilities? Does it work with PCM 2?

Cheers

As the primary Dension distributor, we have this unit. It's in beta test now and should be available on our Order page very soon.

Yes, works with PCM 2 and will route video to the PCM and rear screens on vehicles so equipped....and may offer more than just that too.

More to come!

Eric -
Could you provide us with any more details on how difficult it is to install this with an existing Dension and ballpark price point?

Sadiq

looks like it plugs right into that teal port and seems that it can be daisy chained with the bluetooth unit.

Eric - Plug Guy

Plugs into the existing Gateway 500, and offers options for running video through various ports. Will get more details posted once we have beta testing completed.

Here's the initial PR:

Specifications

* Route video from iPod or DVD to any screen in the car
* See input from reversing camera (where fitted)
* Send different sources to different areas of your car (front and back)
* Connect games console to rear screens
* Browse iPod video content on screen

Which cars?
AVR can only be used as an accessory to Gateway 500, and can currently be fitted to BMW with Pro Sat Nav and Porsche with PCM 2.0 and PCM 2.1 head units.

Further developments are underway to extend compatibility into Mercedes and Audi in the near future.

Which iPods?
AVR is compatible with all video capable iPods.





We will have this on our Order page in a week or two for preorders.

Excellent news, I would be keen to get one of these, do we know an indicative cost yet to purchase?

I thought video content was not allowed on the front panel.

ELUSIVE

I'm definitely going to be interested in this based upon price point. I'm curious on install complexity and video quality as well.
Does it get power from the Gateway 500 or does it need it's own power?
Does anything need to be connected to the back of the PCM itself?

I'd love it if this was simply plug and play.

johnstoy

"allowed" is such a strong word...
Legally it should cut out front video when you are moving (often with a hand-brake sensor). But that would depend on how it was installed.

Will this gadget show album covers when listening to music?

sharmat

Yeah album covers would be cool. I dont care for the moving video content. I dont watch movies in the P-car anyway.

kenarm

Speeding is not allowed, I guess you wouldnt do that either ???

ELUSIVE

Any update?
I'm looking forward to this.

docjohnM

does dension make any product that just allows an aftermarket amp to be added to the MOST bus. For example, a nice little 8" sub somewhere in the trunk!
Why oh why don't they just have some line-level outputs??

Eric - Plug Guy

We're still in testing on the unit, and should have more details this week. So far, looks pretty sweet.

kenarm

Fantastic, cant wait for this........keep up the good work Eric, we are relying on you :-)
