Ipod location
Hello all..
I have an 09 Ultra...... I am installing an HDPD Plus (Ipod interface), just curious where most find it better or convenient to place the Ipod. In a saddlebag? or in the lower front fairing?
Thanks,
Jet

I use the saddlebag cord and run the cord under the saddle and into the right side speaker housing. Then I drilled a 1/2 hole into the tourpak. Now my iPod sits safely in the tourpak. I little more install work, but I don't have to move the cable every time I remove the saddlebag.

You need to buy the saddlebag kit to get the extension cord if I remember right.

I am not sure if the Harley module comes with the extended iPod cable. I have the Iron Cross module and used this cable to extended it.
I then cut a little relief on the top of the inner fairing for the cable to come up through between the inner fairing and windshield. After that I cut a little slit in the back of the windshield bag and ran the cable in there.

The extension cable, by itself, is part # 72648-11. The extension connects to the module, then the cable that came with the IPOD module connects to the end of the extension. Buying just the cable saves a few $ from buying the saddle bag kit if not putting in saddle bag.

I installed my iPod Nano (16 GB) right on top of the radio in the front fairing with Velcro. I have lots of music, albums, playlists already installed on the Nano and I'm not one that updates my music frequently. Whenever I have the outer fairing off, I'll update my music and playlists. If I really need to update my music, it's only (7) screws and a few minutes and I have the outer fairing removed from the bike. I didn't want to deal with any extension cables, possibilities of connectors breaking, drilling holes in a tour-pak or saddle bag, etc. Plus, keeping the iPod under the fairing is probably more secure than keeping it in a saddle bag.
