Ipod cutting out
I have an 11 Road Glide, stock radio and added the HD iPod interface. Additionally I have a Hog Tunes Amp and speakers along with the tweeter pod. (Not that the amp and speakers has anything to do with what I'm seeing.)
When I fire up the bike the radio always has the iPod selected. It goes to it's starting place and I get the music. Sometimes "shuffle" is remembered from the last trip, sometimes I have to turn shuffle back on. No big deal and not the basis of this posting.
After some short miles I hit the button to skip a song and the music stops. I hit the forward button again just incase the file is corrupt, nope, that's not it. I've tried turning the radio off and restarting. The song comes on for about a half second and then - nothing.
I've tried selecting radio am, then fm, then CD, Weather and back to iPod. The song starts and then stops a half second later. Make note, the failure is only at iPod, CD and radio works fine. I have also checked the iPod connection itself. Does not seem to be the problem either.
Has anyone seen something like this? The last thing I want to go through is HD saying everything is good, it's your iPod. (Finger pointing.)
Overall I am disappointed with this audio set up. I liked Hog Tunes right up to the point in time I heard Hawg Wired. I mention this because if I can't get the iPod to work through the system, I'll scrap the entire mess and do it all over again yet I really don't want to **** away another boat load of cash if I don't have to.

Not sure but I'll describe it. I just checked the iPod site and it appears they don't make it anymore. I think it was a nano and it's just a year old, no more than two years old max. It's the shuffle size, perhaps slightly larger and it square vs rectangular as the current nano is. It also has a touch screen interface. That help? (...best I can do.)

Good question. I was thinking temp but it happens all the time. Yesterday it was mid 70's and the bike really hadn't heated up yet but it happened. Perhaps I stressed the snot out of it last summer on a scorching day and it needs to be replaced. Don't know.
