Abit confusing this one, let me clear it up.
You can have this set up:
Gamma + Dash SINGLE CD PLAYER + Dension IceLink
The single CD player has always had the ability to allow you to plug in a CD Bootchanger (as you probably know) therefore giving you 1+6 CD capacity.
The dension can be plugged into the back of the Single CD player and used INSTEAD of the bootchanger.
You CANNOT have:
Dension + Dash 6Disc + Gamma
Dension + BootChanger + Gamma

Just got my Dension iLink today, and to mount it, I ordered this: http://www.handnav.co.uk/proclip_s elect2.php?id=70
its a ProClip or something, and it clips in through the side of the stereo, there are other ones too, (air vents, next to gear box) On the site go through the options from the drop down boxes and s elect your car.

Black wire = EARTH.
You can earth it to the EARTH wire on the headunit's Iso Loom.

A bit of a hijack but how do you mount these icelinks? I fancy the idea of integrating MP3 to my GAMMA HU but don't want to start drilling holes in my car.
I stashed mine on the shelf of the glovebox, as it's so small.
Although if you want to be able to see it whilst driving, you can buy a dashmount bracket (www.dashmount.co.uk or .com). Then you won't have to drill your dash, as it clips inbetween dashboard trim gaps...

Just been having a think about this, surely you can hack the dash changer loom and fit a switch to change between iPod and CD changer?
You probably could to be honest.
But when an Ipod can hold upto 5000 songs, why would u need to ever use Cd's again in the car??????
And since it's so easy to update the Ipod with new songs, you really won't bother with CD's (in the car) anymore.

check out this other post, it goes on to discuss other ways of connecting the ipod to the gamma stereo and keeping the changer.. not using the Dension though.

Just fitted mine, works okay, although I had to update the firmware to get it to work correctly with all the menus..

Read a post on vwvortex.com and the guy had done just that. Small switch mount until climate control. Can't find the post sorry [B)]

I've decided thats where mine is going, but did you have to drill into the glovebox to get the cable in or am I missing something really easy?
