Default Need help with my ipod

Hey gang!

Got a Gen 5 ipod. The damn thing won't keep it's charge. I get maybe, maybe 2 hours out of it on the bike.

My question is this. Is there a cord that will keep my ipod charged while hooked to the radio? I am hoping for something that the radio connection charges the ipod?

Any help mucho appreciated!

Not that I know of, I used to plug the charger into the cig lighter and drop the whole works into the winsheild pouch. Then I went with the system from Iron Cross which lets you control from the handlebars and will keep it charged as well.

Raxus the only thing that I'm aware of that is not an external charger is the iPod cable addition from Iron Cross. Once added to the rear of the stocker it will allow your audio to come through in the AUX mode as well as keep the iPod charged with a single cable.

Checked it out and spoke with Iron Cross. I am digging the system so bought it thru their Ebay store. Hope this works!
