Is anyone on here running a denison gateway audio device to connect an ipod to a 2007 ish Aston?
My car had that installed when I got it and the instructions imply that you change to disk 6 and then select a track to determine source input by holding down the fast forward button.
The AM stereo interface does not have a fast forward button, and pressing track up down \ holding track up down does not change the input source.
I would like to get this to work so I can select music from the ipod rather than through the CD changer interface, supposedly this is track 3.
Thanks!

 

Oddly enough I just installed one on my 2007 DB9 about a month ago (and I don't know how I lived without it!) On mine, if it's in gateway mode it auto loads Ipod / Iphone when connected and it's selected on 'Disk 3' Disk 5 is the line in, and Disk 6 is the USB if attached. If I disconnect the Ipod, it changes itself back to 'Disc 5'.

I don't know if it's just mine, or if its how they work but all lines seem to play all of the inputs. IE, If I have a line in playing (on 5), all disc 3, 5 and 6 still play. They end up playing together... I found that out the hard way trying to run a Android auto box to the factory screen. I got major feedback on the line in when playing they Ipod.

 

You scroll with a short press of the forward and backward buttons and you select by pressing down the forward button for a couple seconds. Here's a good demonstration:

 

As far as the feedback goes, I get it depending on how the iPod is hooked up. If I am hooked into the preinstalled ipod connector I have no sound issues but as I said I cannot get the unit into "control from the iPod" input. The iPod I got came from ebay,and it came with a set of cables which have RCA outputs and a usb cable into the Apple connector. If I use this cable to plug the ipod into the aux input then I can pick music from the ipod interface but for some reason the ipod wont start playing unless I also connect the usb portion of the cable to power. When I do this it does feedback into the audio system...

 

With the iPod connected to the 30 pin connector you should be able to see if the Dension is on "ipodgw" or "ipodui". You want to switch it to "ipodui" using the method used in the video that I linked above.

What does the screen on the stereo say for the input when you have it set up like this? Does it say "aux" or "USB"? If it's set to "aux" you shouldn't need the USB plugged in unless it has no power.
