Here are some of the fixes/updates:

Modifications:
• iPod display: modified due to the limitations of new iPod Nano3 and Classic v1.0.3 firmwares. While iPod is playing Dension logo is displayed on the iPod screen.
• iPod welcome screen changed to a single page, containing "DENSION", "www.dension.com", version number and service tag.
Bug fix:
• During the shutdown process, when an iPod is connected, in very rare cases the GW500 froze, only removing the iPod helped. Fixed.
Also added a few more vehicles to the compatibility list.
Bug fixes:
• Random/Repeat: handling on Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche the Shuffle/Repeat settings were lost when device was re-connected and when tracks were changed by the user.
• ‘Loading’ state: freezing bug fixed.
• After selecting AUX or IPOD_UI source, the head unit did not take it into account. Fixed.
• BTA: ‘Disconnect’ menu item was not working properly. Fixed.
• Some Bluetooth devices disconnect and reconnect between track changes, which caused unwanted operation of the head unit display. Fixed.
• The media player of the Bluetooth device only connects when it is selected as an audio source on the GW500 menu. (Unlike the handsfree which always connects)

 

Eric, I just purchased this unit to put in my car when it arrives (in April). Is there anything I can do to prevent these problems from the get go? Shall I pass on this information to the installer (Benchmark in Bellevue?)

 

Yes, I believe that Benchmark should already be aware of this update. Just make sure that they install the USB port in a location that'd be easily accessible. Mine is in the glove compartment and is easily accessed for periodical firmware updates.

 

You should be good to go using the updated firmware.

 

Thanks. I am keeping a long list of all the things I need to try to remember!
