Any tips for using iPhone/iPod on an Ultra Limited
I'm looking for an affordable way to play -my- music when my girl and I are on our long rides. We have a 2012 EG Ultra Limited. I've burnt an MP3 CD with 170 or so songs, but the "Random" feature of the audio system is pretty bad (frequent replays). Most of my music is on my iPhone (about 4000 songs) and I'd like to be able to play my playlists. I know I can run an aux cable from the radio to the phone and maybe store the phone in one of the lower compartments, but I want to be able to switch/skip songs (or rather let my girl do it when she wishes). I've seen some small, inexpensive bluetooth play controllers, and I was wondering if anyone had experience with them, or had other ideas.
The best option is probably getting the iPod/iPhone interface kit, but it's pricey, and my next major buys for the bike are to change out the stock shocks and seat.

My '11 FLHTC is hardwired into a pouch (looks factory) in the saddle bag lid where I keep my old iphone hooked up all the time and use as an ipod. I can control everything with the music from my hand controls.
Update, found it, it is called boom, works awesome....

I just Bluetooth with my iPhone and then put it in the trunk plugged into the power ac charger

I have the exact same. Works amazingly well. Also if you push the button, just once and for a second, it pauses then plays when you push it again. Battery lasts several days.
