I have a E60 520D 11/2005 with an ASK head unit and would really like mp3 text on the idrive screen. Dension say their product will not support this with an ASK head unit, however on the compatability list on the Mobridge site it says that mp3 text should work on both the ASK and CCC head units for the E60 (see http://www.mobridge-ipod.co.uk/docs/mObrid...tion_Guide.pdf). Can anyone confirm this is the case?

I just got the Dension 500 GW installed today and was surprised to find that MP3 text / ID3 tag support works a charm! I also installed the BTA1500 however I think there are some limitations with Blackberry compatibility at the moment, I have a 8900 curve. I will post up some pictures shortly. :-)

Well, I got my car back today, but I am not amused... The digital TV while driving and the screens in the headrests look and work great, but the GW500 gives problems... It worked in the shop with an ipod nano they used for testing, but as soon as I attached my iphone to it, it didn't work! It shows on the IDrive screen that it's playing song 99 and the seconds are counting, but you cannot hear any sound of it. The guy in the shop was surprised as well, but thinks he might need to update the software on the GW500. I hope everything will be solved after that, because now it's useless...

what color was the end of the plug that goes from the iPod to the Gateway 500? Their newest plug is white but the blue one also works with the iPhone and other 5v iPods. You likely have an old Gateway 500 with the grey or green end on the iPod cable. Dension sells the iPod plugs separately so you do not have to buy a whole new one.
