Cheap Bluetooth Mod for HDPD users
Wanted to add Bluetooth capability to my stock HU, HDPD Ipod adapter, PBR300 and BT 7.1s. I've got plenty of songs on the Ipod but nice to have totally different playlists once in awhile.
Got this for $29 from amazon, plugs right up to the ipod connector in my saddlbags and instant Pandora,etc. Sounds great, very crisp and clear.

A couple questions
New guy to the audio forums (just got an '11 Limited, first bike with music onboard) here, with a couple questions.
Do you get track info from whatever device you have paired with this BT unit over the ipod cable (as if it was coming from a connected iPod)?
Do you have audio track control via the grip mounted audio control switches?
I'm trying to come up with a neat way to feed audio (mostly locally stored on an android phone that will be fairing mounted for nav as well) to the system with minimal cables. The bike already has a the iPod cable interface.
Thanks!

No to both, but opens up the spectrum of internet programming to me. We have the Sonos system in our home so I have a bunch of custom stations created on Iheart radio, Pandora, etc on my phone. Also, with T-Mobile we get unlimited music data streaming, so no issues there. Just a nice change of pace from the music I already own.
