Does MP3 mean just that? ipod will or will not work with radio?
Thanks

 

maybe if you described the problem in plain english?

 

l can play a MP3 player through the radio will it also play an ipod instead of an MP3.

 

An ipod is an MP3 player. On the other hand, and I don't think this is your situation, a CD player that will play MP3 tracks recorded on a custom made CD is something else.

You run the audio out of the iPod or mp3 player to the audio in or AUX in on the HD Harmon Cardon radio.

 

The CD player will play music CDs or MP3 CDs.

To play an iPod or any other type of player, you'll need a cable to go from the head hone jack on the iPod to the auxiliary in jack on the lower right of the radio.

You can only listen to the iPod. You cannot make any selections such as artist or album through the radio. Put the iPod on songs, random, and it will cycle through all the songs on the iPod or select what you want to hear before you start riding.

I think I saw an iPod adapter on the HD web site that will allow you to make selections through the radio. Might want to look into that.

 

ipod and MP3 are made by different companys arent they? The book says MP3 compatible nothing about ipod maybe they are the same I dont know much about them. It doesnt say much in the manual how to use that function do you just plug into the MP3 port and cig, lighter? is there a certain mode the radio has to be in?

 

your HK radio will play an IPOD.....if you don't already have one, i suggest the NANO...about $150 at WalMart... then go to ebay motors and under motorcycle parts search for "MichaelsStainlessInnovations"... he makes a very simple, clean, and affordable holder for any Ipod..about $30...then go to Radio SHack and get a 12" cord with male ends...and thats it..your hooked up.

another little tip....the stainless holder comes with small felt pads to help cussion the Ipod...remove these and get yourself a neoprene cover for the Ipod... can pick these up anywhere..even Marshalls for about $8

 

Nah..I dont think you can insert the ipod directly into your cd dash!! heheheheh

You can listen to a mp3 recorded cd OR you can use the aux input with your ipod.

 

Good info Thanks!!!!
