Why did I click on this thread? Good thing it's late.... I'm gonna go to bed 'n forget I ever saw that beautiful gadget.... cuz I been lookin for something just like that....
How does this compare to the H-D Boom Audio unit? The Boom Audio unit is $330 from one of the 20% off dealers. Granted, this is $55 cheaper, but I'm just curious if it's just as good.
I cant speak for the boom stuff, but I'm sure it will get the job done too. All I know is that my Buddy was quoted $500 and change from the local dealer to do the Boom Set-up.
This unit from www.onthemovetechnology is plug and play, works as advertised, and the price is right. Mark Smith (the guy marketing them) is a stand-up guy, and the units ship quickly.
As I said earlier in this thread ...I had to deviate from mounting the unit on top of my OEM head unit (per the instructions) due to the 250W amp from J&M occupying that space. I also rigged a "removeable grommet" set-up on my saddlebag as opposed to just laying the ipod cord through the saddlebag lid. Just notched the top of my saddlebag with a dremel tool, and modded the gromet to hold the ipod cord and seal flush with the saddlebag lid (see pictures).
And like I said ...no more handlebar mounted ipod with wire running to the "aux input" on the head unit ...This thing works great!
Looks like it displays more on the head unit screen then the Harley Boom one does ?
very interestred in this product i wonder if they ship to Australia, and if the Harley Boom Audio Saddlebag iPod holder 76000143 would work with this

that $280 is there 'introductory' price. it says that normal price is $299, so whenever they go to that price, it'll only be about $30 cheaper. still, it's good to have options.
AKBAgger; when you start your bike does the iPod automatically start? Sometimes I have to push play on mine.
Other than that it works as advertised. Kinda a tight fit on my ultra with the amp bracket but it works.
I don't have to press play, it fires-up on its own. However, it does take a full minute or so for the Ipod to "boot-up". It's the same in my Ford truck with Sync ...takes awhile to boot-up the ipod after the ignition is turned on.
