Dension has launched the Audi Gateway MMI3 enabler tool

On 1st October 2011 Dension has launched the Gateway MMI3 enabler tool and interface. The tool activates the factory AMI function of those Audi MMI3 car radios that has been disabled by default.

Previously car audio interfaces could not support the latest versions of the Audi MMI controller unit in the high profile Audis. If the AMI function of your Audi MMI3 car audio had not been activated in the factory you do not have the opportunity to connect portable audio devices to the car audio.
Dension engineers are famous for their excellence and innovative ideas. It seemes like they did well again by coming up with an outstanding solution for those Audi MMI3 owners who were not able to acces the audio multimedia interface function of their factory MMI3 car stereo.

The Dension Gateway MMI3 enabler tool activates the AMI function of those Audi MMI3 car radios that has been disabled by default. It comes with a Gateway car multimedia adapter that offers the same functions as the factory audio multimedia interface (AMI): iPod, iPhone and USB device connection, charging and even full device control using the original MMI surface of the car.

Improved iPod, iPhone, smartphone Universal car mount

Have you noticed that our Unimount is fully renewed?

With the new product line the nano-vacuum stickers have improved so much that during an independent test it was able to hold an iPhone4 (!) on a very bumpy 20° uphill road all the way up over 500 meters (~550 yards).
It also has a new and shiny packaging with a nice blister that makes the product is visible, understandable, and loveable.

How to control your vehicle safely with your Phone in the hand?

Dension has always been looking for creative solutions – even for problems that did not exist before. In 2005 Dension appeared on the consumer electronics market with a unique solution, a technical breakthrough creating a new category for the in-car digital media entertainment.
Dension engineers can never have enough, of course! So in 2011 they came out with an outstanding idea again: to create a unique multi-purpose remote control system allowing you to control your RC car, boat, tank, truck or other scale model vehicle with your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch using WiFi. It is called WiRC, the Dension WiFi RC reciver.
So what makes this system so special? First of all it is multi-purpose, as it is not specialized for a single vehicle, but is compatible with almost any standard RC models.
Hardware
Talking about a high tech solution first you need to have hardware installed in your existing RC car, don’t you?
No problem, that’s exactly what we have prepared for you. All you need to do is to replace the existing radio receiver with WiRC, connect the servo(s), ESC, or whatever you may want to control on one of the eight PPM channels, and install the whole system with the WiFi adapter and a camera.
Software
Talking about an iPhone compatible gadget I am sure you have already found out that the software can be nothing else but an app. In this case it is a free app – available from Apple’s Appstore called WiRC. Just download it and control your vehicle using the touch screen joysticks or the device’s gyros, watch live camera feed on the screen, define the control sensitivity, and even more.

Above the already mentioned 8 PPM channels, WiRC has further 4 digital in and digital out channels, 1 analog input, a microphone input and a speaker output as well. These features make the WiRC a really outstanding solution as its capabilities are beyond belief.
Now Dension is introducing the single WiRC receiver-set on the market, but from September 2011 Dension is launching two fully equipped models too: a Zengő-Dension Team race car with WiRC control, and an Off-road car you can drive in the garden or even indoors.
