I love my Iron Cross interface. So easy, not only can you use the radio controls on your bars and radio....the radio's display is used just like the Ipod's display. You se the album, playlist, or songs name.

Not a new idea, but it works, several of us were running that last year when another member posted it.

I have since installed the iPod connector kit, and ran the iPod into the saddlebag with the harley set up. I love it, so much better. Worth the money in my opinion.

The elcheepo way is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-Car-AU...item1c3a712364 you plug in to the AUX port, plug into a USB charger, and you can play and charge at the same time. Since you are not using the earphone jack on the iPod, you are getting nice clean line level output.

And it's only 5 bucks. I have one in my car.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been using my earphone jack and sound is somewhat distorted. This looks like an excellent cheap solution.

If you have a fairing bag you can get a short extension/connector and out the Ipod in the bag. no worries then.

Yup, the interface is the only way to go. Works like a charm. You can order it direct online from Iron Cross Audio. I sent my radio to them and had the backlighting changed to white, now I can actually see it at night!
