Take it to your local Indy, mine charged me less than $100 to update the system.
Ok, I definitely have a CDC. I took it out and see the power. The chords have the black connection on the end. With that being said, first time really venturing into BMW on this, how am I tapping into this? I am splicing my chord into this, or whats the approach? Thanks, visually just trying to see this.

This is what you need to neatly splice into you factory cannon plug for your cd changer.

I have everything working. Audio streams but I can´t get my phone calls to work through the system. Bluetooth streaming audio works though... any thoughts what I might be doing wrong?

Not sure, I did not get the bluetooth adaptor for my Denison 500 because my 545i had factory bluetooth which would NOT stream audio by the way. I left my Dension in the 545 when I traded it in but I think I still have the box with instructions. I will give them a read to see if I can find anything on bluetooth setup.

Not sure if this is going to help. I have a Dension Gateway 500 with BTA1500. When I had my iphone, it paired fine. When I switched to my Android HTC1 M8 I had to pair both the audio and phone functions.

CD6, track 5, press fast forward, that should take you to CD 5, Track 1. Now go to CD 1 track 3 and pair the device as a audio source

CD6, track 6, press fast forward, that should take you to CD5, Track 1. Now go to CD1 track 3 and pair the device as a phone.

As I said with the iphone I didn't have to pair it to both systems but the android I did. Very confusing!

My Ride: BMW 525d tourer
Default Dension 500s

I have the connections in my glove box for a cd changer, so I hooked them all up to my dension, but no power coming from the unit, the usb lead where the green light should be on is off after connecting. I definitely have power to the unit and the fibre optic cable is the right way around ( light to left hand side of the unit) . Still can’t get it to work. Help
