Just re-installed my HK radio after having Iron Cross do the Bluetooth mod and rear auxiliary mod. iPhone paired right up and it sounds great! Very happy. I do wish I could change tracks from the handlebar controls but that's no big deal.

On a side note, Tony told me they found some water damage inside my radio. They fixed it right up.

I'm always careful about getting water up there but I guess I need to be more careful.

 

Are you using an iphone by chance? Just curious if it plays just from your stored music or if it would play an xm app or Pandora app as well? I use them with my sony set up now but would like to send off my stock to change the face color to blue and have the Bluetooth mod added.

 

I haven't tried Pandora but I'm 99% certain that it will work. I can try tomorrow if you'd like.

 

How much did this mod cost if you don't mind sharing

 

How does it function with the iPhone from a control perspective? I mean, when you pair the iPhone and start playing music, when you turn off the bike does it stop the play of the song on the iPhone? Also, when you come back and start the bike do you need to do anything to get the music playing again? i.e. pairing, pressing play etc. or does it automatically restart the music?

 

Cost is $140. Not cheap but it's internal with nothing to lose or break.

Once paired you don't ever need to re-pair. When you start the bike you simply switch mode to "aux" and hit play on your device.

I'm not sure yet about some of the other questions, I'll play with it today and get back to you. I'm pretty sure it doesn't start playing music automatically (the unit in my truck does), I think you have to go back to the phone and start it playing again.

 

I had IC install a rear aux port last year, they did a nice job and did a quick turn around on it. Great company to work with! At the time, they didn't have the bluetooth upgrade.... crap, looks like I'm going to be pulling my radio again! Fortunately I saved the shipping box.

 

I did the rear aux too, for my GPS. I was concerned that if I left a cable plugged in at the rear of the radio (but not plugged in to the GPS) it might cause a conflict with the Bluetooth, which also uses the aux channel. That was the first thing I tested yesterday, no conflict at all.

 

Just checked the Pandora radio thing, works great. Also verified that you need to push play again on your phone once you shut down and restart the bike, it will not start playing music automatically.

 

thanks for the updated info.
