Troubleshooting guide
Gateway Lite BT   
9 
I. The Gateway Lite (GWLxxx, GBLxxx) volume is distorted/lower than my Radio or CD 
player. Is there any option to change the volume output levels? 
This could happen ‘relatively’ easily because all cars, chassis are different. It can be small, medium, big 
or large, could come with 4 or 12 speakers. Therefore we use default settings that work in most cases. 
If in your case it does not and the volume is too loud, distorted or low compared to other sources, 
please go to the Dension website and download the volume configuration files and read the specific 
Knowledgebase article:

lower-than-my-radio-or-cd-player-0 
Follow these steps: 
1.  Unzip the volume package file 
2.  Select  and  copy the appropriate configuration file from  iPod, USB  or  AUX  & A2DP 
folder to the root of a USB flash drive where you have at least one playable content. 
Use 0dB / +6dB files if the volume is low or -1dB/-20bB if the volume is distorted 
3.  Connect the USB drive to the Gateway while it is powered up 
4.  The volume configuration procedure takes about 2 seconds. When finished, the next 
song will be audible on your car’s speakers 
5.  Turn the Audio System OFF, remove the ignition key and wait for about 20 seconds. 
Turn the Audio System back ON 
6.  Test your Audio System. If the volume output is still not optimal, please repeat steps 
2-5 with another volume configuration file 
Please  note:  Although  we  do  support  playing  music  content  from  a  USB  hard  disk  drive,  for  the 
firmware update (volume settings) please use a USB flash stick/pen drive.
