The Gateway 500S emulates a CD changer and uses CD changer
controls to access off board audio sources therefore it may be
necessary to have the car programmed by your dealer in order to
use the GW500S with it.

Generally no programming is required but in some cases (e.g. no
device was connected onto the optical ring) a CD changer will
have to be enabled with the service computer.
Porsche
Generally CD-Changer option needs to be coded if factory option
is missing.

3. Device Installation

The 500S can be installed anywhere on the MOST ring, however
in order to avoid any compatibility or functional issues, please
make sure that the Gateway 500S is the last connected device
on the MOST ring or it is connected to beside the factory CD-
Changer (if available). Please note: Installation of the Gateway
500S is very complex, therefore please have it installed by
Professional Installer.
Important note: If you install a Dual FOT version of the Gateway
500S where the 2nd optical FOT extension is not in use then
please create an optical loop by using the 2nd optical cable
( located in the package) and connect it to the 2nd FOT ('CDC side')
of the Gateway.
MOST ring installation
Disconnect the fi ber optic Male connector from the original
interface (e.g. Head Unit) then remove the fi ber optic housing
from the Male connector and fi nally disconnect (Fig. 1.) the fi ber
optic fi bre (the one which is marked to be the 'signal in' cable –
with an arrow) as it is shown below
(Fig. 1)
1a.
HU
Remove the blue locking clip from the
middle of the fi bre optic housing.
1b.
Strain the hook carefully with a
sharp tool, while pulling out the
optical fi bre from the housing.
Connect that optical wire (use the optical male /male inline
connector) with the 'signal in' cable of the Dension device. The
optical fi ber 'signal out' fi bre of the Dension device must be
connected to the original optic housing. Finally, take the Male
connector and connect it to the original interface. At the end of
the installation please make sure that the light directions of the
MOST optical ring are correct.
