Default IPOD interface,yay or nay

Thinking about buying this,just wondering if anyone has it and enjoys it? I'm sick of getting out my tank bag and making sure my IPOD touch is fully charged,then getting out my little aux wire . Then when we get somewhere go through the whole thing of disconnecting again. It sure would be nice to leave it connected,charge,and search through my songs.

Griffin itrip dual works great, charges, boosts the signal and I can't complain. Aux into the head unit and I'm rolling.

Nay. Dump the stock unit and buy a radio with the iPod tray. It will charge while using it. It tucks away inside the radio. And the sound is much better than stock. Plus you can sell your old radio and buy a new one with the kit and still only be about $80 out of pocket

I have an old iPhone 3G that I use with Harley interface. I only have to remove it to sync new songs.

Play lists are your friend with this setup as navigating through all your songs to find a specific one can take awhile.

I have heard good things about the IronCross iPod interface and I believe it works real similar to the Harley one.

I have the Ipod interface and was using it with my old IPhone 3Gs and about every 4th or 5th time starting the bike it would not play music, so I would have to get off the bike unplug it an plug it back in. Last time I used it, it kept making the sound it makes when you plug it in. I think that the IPhone is just worn out. I switched it out with an old IPod Nano that I have and it works much better. It says in the manual that the Nano's are the prefered unit to use.

My dealer gives me 20% off anything I buy. So that would be real close to the Iron Cross kit. For the people that do have it,did you buy the kit to hold the IPOD in the saddlebag like CVOs?

I posted this quite a while back. Still delighted with it, use it all the time. iPhone is mounted with Ram mounted and I did the rear aux port mod

Yes I bought the whole nine yards including the saddlebag strap, works great when I am on-call since I can hear the alerts through the stereo speakers.
