Help with Sony 7000 update, cables
Hey guys! I've got a Sony 7000 installed in my 2012 Streetglide with Metra inner fairing. The HU is due for an update, but I didn't put a usb extension onto USB1, but I have my iPhone lightning cord plugged into it. Can I somehow use the lightning cable to then adapt back to a female USB so I can plug in the flash drive at the end of the lightning cable for the update? In other words, I will have to remove the outer fairing to access the USB1 port on the radio unless i can figure out a way to put the flash drive onto the end of the lightning cable (which extends out beyond the fairing where it can be reached)? Any way to do this (I haven't found an adapter that is a female lightning to female usb) or am i just going to have to pull the outer fairing to do the update and install a really short usb extension to the radio for next time?
Thanks!
Jerry

personally, fairing off and pull the necessary cables through
because you are always going to need access to BOTH usb when it comes to updates
Also the Sony can be funny when you try and update through an adapter or hub, I've had some success but it prefered direct cables
yes you can adapt, but it required multi adaptors (and I've not actually used them on my Sony)
