More Radio Questions......

On the back you can use one of those inline radio antenna adapters I think or use this technique to add an aux input to the back of your radio. That's all.

the isimple in your link still plugs into the front of the radio for audio, the added deutsch plug is just for power...
I have the same cable which cost me $15 and I tap power from the lighter

Aux connector, phone on bike
The "ironaccessspeedshop" website involves taking radio out of bike and soldering some wires inside. At the same time, you can cut a trace on the radio board. That cutting (VERY simple and very well documented on ironspeed website) is critical.
To get a device (android, iPhone, iPod etc..) connected to bike, so audio plays thru bikes speakers and handlebar volume control works you have 2 options.
Option 1: Plug headphone cable from device into AUX port on front of the radio. Keep in mind, once you plug this in, the radio stays in AUX mode.
Option 2: Do the ironaccessspeedshop mod then run the same headphone cable (and USB power cable) down handlebar and into fairing. The headphone cable plugs into the connector you installed via ironspeed. Wire the USB power cable to the cig. lighter wires (see below). This results in a clean look.
Option 3: Get a bluetooth setup in your helmet and pair that to your device. This will NOT allow volume control via handlebar.
Why the ironaccessspeedshop mods? The AUX jack locks the radio into AUX mode once you plug something into the front jack. It does the same using the rear jack; unless you cut the trace on circuit board. That "trick" allows full functionality of radio even while something is plugged into AUX jack.
How do you hold phone on bike ?
I got a RAM mount ($25) X-Grip holder from gpscity.com Click HERE for info. It is EXCELLENT as it holds almost any phone, with case/cover/holder etc. Keep in mind, its a harley so the phone will shake quite a bit but its very secure in this very simple holder. YES, you need some way to mount the X-Grip. I chose the ball mount setup. I put THIS HOLDER , for $13, on mine. Then I connect X-Grip to the ball mount with THIS ADAPTER. for $12.
What about cables ?
For my Android, I have micro USB power cable. I bought THIS ONE which is a 90 degree on the micro USB (phone) end, cut the big connector off and solder it to an LM7905 (use a heatsink). This avoids using any cig. lighter plugs and is all wired under fairing. For the audio, I used THIS CABLE Notice this also has the 90 degree connector at phone.
Hope this helps, Tom

We have a number of different phone mounts for motorcycles. Most are chrome (or black) and made in the USA. Waterproof options, iPhone-specific options, universal options with swivel capability... check them out here: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/moto...-phone-mounts/
