2002 MB E55 AMG
The Dension Gateway 500 notes indicate that it does not work with Becker head units.

How can I tell if my 2002 E55 has a Becker head unit, and then if it does I guess the Gateway 500 option is *out*???


TIA

Just a question - have you tried adjusting the base and treble levels and speaker balance? Maybe somebody messed with them at one time...

Also, the head unit is a Becker unit, not Bose.

I would try this first. I notice the difference big time since everytime I run my ipod through the AUX in COMMAND I have to readjust the bass and treble. For some reason it doesn't save for the AUX, only for the radio and cd.

Does it look like this? If so, it's a Becker HU.

Here's a guy who installed a Gateway 500 on a Becker deck: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/audi...d-changer.html

I would check with Dension.

I would love to change my head unit, but it seems like it would ruin the inferior if i put one of those head units that emit blue light... just wont match. I honestly would love to change the center wood trim that is used for the navigation command units and install a nice head unit, with navigation and all.
