A. Differences between the GW500 (GW51MO2) and the GW500S BT (GW52MO2) 
-  Gateway 500 Lite is designed for cars with no text display capability 
-  has only one single FOT connector, so CDC retention is not possible 
-  the AUX-Box is not included in the retail package 
-  Gateway 500 Lite has no DIP switches, configuration has to be set via USB (the default 
setting is Mercedes) 
B. IPod/iPhone/iPad compatibility 
It has the same compatibility as the Gateway Lite BT, so Lightning based Apple devices (iPhone 5 / 5c 
/ 5s, iPod touch 5
th
 or nano 7
th
) can be used only with a genuine Lightning to 30 pin adapter. 
Please note: Power booster is highly recommended (SKU: IPB1DIN) for newer iPhone and iPod touch 
devices (from iPhone 4 and touch 4
th
), because the Gateway 500 is capable of charging with 500mA 
only. 
iPad: iPads work only if ‘iPod UI’ (Simple remote) mode is selected. Charging is available on iPad 1
st
only. Newer models require 2A of charging, and that is not available even if using a Power Booster.
