Ipod remote control ????
Anyone using a cool ipod remote control on their bike?
I checked out the H-D ipod interface while test riding a CVO bike- problem is, you have to take your eyes off of the road way too much to accomplish anything- never mind the $500.
I typically use my ipod in the fairing bag- when i have to do functions, I have to take off left glove, and operate holding ipod up high so eyes are still on the road ( more or less)
I would like to have some remote functions I can do with gloves on.
pause/play is the biggest priority
FF/REW
track advance
Anybody having any luck with the $20~$30 dollar remotes I see on the web?
I do have the nifty timex remote control watch but it doesn't work with ipod touch.- and the watch is under many sleeves this time of year.
I use BOTH ipod touch and 60 gig ipod classic on the bike
in my mind's eye I think ipod in fairing pouch, positioned so I can see the screen, remote control on console, left grip, or on outside of fairing pouch.

I was ready to start selling an mp3 player that would broadcast via FM (without wires), got all setup to do a road test and... I was unable to control the player while wearing gloves. That killed that.
Good luck.

Thanks Guys- i went to Fry's electronics today and got a unit which plugs into the lighter, gooseneck brings the ipod touch up just in front of the useless air temp gauge.
wireless remote control attaches to handlebar OR it is magnetic and I can just stick it to the gas tank.
has play/pause next track/last track functions
on sale ( discontinued item) for $35
Griffin Tuneflex.
Will likely extend the 12 volt plug to get the ipod up closer to my line of sight.
Thanks for all your help

Well, quite probably not. Posted on this before, if you are using a Touch or iPhone, go in to settings, IPod, make sure "shake to shuffle" is set to off
