2013 CVO Road King
2013 CVO Road King
2013 CVO RK's have 4 speakers but no radio. The audio comes from a provided iPod. I am looking for an adapter to converter male 32 pin iPod connector to a lightning cable for iPhone 16. The only one I can find supports charging but not audio, anybody have a lead?
TIA

You might want to try one of these
. Connect via bluetooth on your phone to your RK audio. Then mount your phone on the bars to change music or for other uses, like a GPS.
Lightning will go out of style in a few years or when you upgrade your phone, but that bluetooth connection will remain viable.

I have been looking into this very problem for a while now. I have A Iphonr 16 and use the Apple music. I find the quality of the apple music is really good. I also have a ipod for my bike(2012 cvo ultra) I also have a 2007 toy hauler with a Alpine stereo system built in it. I bought the very same adapter for my toy hauler and is would not transfer the audio. It seems this is the problem with any of the 30 pin to newer "c" or lightning adapters. No audio. I have been on the fence weather to get a 30 pin to bluetooth adapter or not. From what i have read you need to insure its for car radio and not for example any 110 device (radio bose etc) When i looked into it the only one i found was about 80-100 bucks. For me..Ill just keep using my ipod for that price. I guess we are just outdated. I do love have the option of XMradio, CDplayer or I POD for music options on my bike. I was hoping i could get the high quality of the apple music through my bike (and toy hauler) but seems like its a shot in the dark anymore. good luck and post here if you find one that works. Jeff

A riding buddy had a 2012 FLHXSE a while back and used one of these, not sure of the brand, but it worked for him.
