Just found this sweet app and connector that uses you ipod touch or iphone to REPLACE your speedo. Being a Dyna owner, I am always on the lookout for something to replace my speedo. This is something like $250 though, maybe the price will come down?

does look good what about your mileage etc?

 

So what woudl you do with your speedo? Is your speedo on your bars now?

What do you cover it with when it rains?

 

It's only on Km too, no mph. I like it, but do wonder about the mileage too.

 

That app looks like the answer to a question nobody asked. Just to play devil's advocate...

It says you can't use it in bad weather, and when I had an Iphone it was impossible to see in direct sunlight, particularly with sunglasses. So it's mainly for nights with no rain? I noticed that although the company recommends RAM mounts, the buyer has to supply their own. Why would they sell you a speedo and no mount? And I'm curious if the phone warranty would cover any problems after using this piece of gear. Apple is notorious about not wanting anything non-apple used. Do you have to jailbreak your phone first?

 

SInce it is available through the app store, no. But I agree, rather worthless in the daylight or bad weather.

 

What's next? Making calls with your original speedometer?

 

It's a novelty item only IMHO. Cool but impractical. More for the "poser" crowd. I use an iPhone everyday and would be skeptical of that connector holding up to the stress of vibration and connects/disconnects each day.

 

Lmao, I have an android app called speedfinder that does the same. Tracks odo, 1/4mi, and other various info. I use it daily in my old truck with no speedo, but never woulda thought using it on the bike... that could be a mess..
