Really wanted to add an iPod to the stock radio but I was not willing to spend that much money for it. Here is what I came up with that works good.
$50 for ipod nano
$2 for inline plug with no cable

 

I use one in my truck. Works good.

 

the 1/8" stereo socket on the radio is soldered to a PC board.

the solder joints will not withstand the weight of the nano bouncing around.

easy to fix, check youtube for tutorials.


or replace the solid 1/8"- 1/8" with a cable. lots of Guys mount the nano with a tab of velcro...


( I use an isimple interface that gets the out to the front of the radio and charges via a 30 pin and with adapter can run a bunch of my iphone and ipod stuff...about $30)

ditto Velcro short cord

 

Yep, did the same, Nano velcroed on to the blank switches with a short cord.

 

i cracked mine that same way,also using a cord lets u use an inline amplifier,lets u run the iPod at a lower volume so u get much more battery life.

 

I tried and ended up with the IronCross interface. I've found that it is so worth the money and won't ever go back. It's extremly convenient! Worth every penny!!

 

Depends what you want to spend but these mounts are great, opted for the chrome one of course..http://www.customdynamics.com/harley....htm#Nano_iPod

 

I bought a cord off eBay for like 4 bucks.

 

+1 Being able to control the ipod with the handlebar controls is so much nicer & safer than messing with the ipod. It also charges your device!!
