Harman/Karmon AUX Jack Question
Does anyone happen to know if the faceplate jack accepts a three-sectioned plug (mic and speaker like from a cel phone) or is it simply a two-section stereo plug.
In other words, can you run a cell phone thru AUX and use the HD headset?

well, you can hook your GPS to the aux jack and hear it through your headsets, in mono though....don't know about cell phone, but I would guess so...check out electrical connection or Ed sets, they both have a headset to 3.5mm plug, allows you to hear stereo with small earbuds..

I can plug my MP-3 plqyer into it and hear thru the headsets, so if you have the right plug 3.5 mm I'm sure you can hear, however I don't think you can talk thru headset to your phone...Bldr

RE: Harman/Karmon AUX Jack Question
My cell phone has a built-in GPS reciever. I used a standard 3.5mm patch cord to connect to the AUX port and I can hear my GPS instructions over the stereo just fine.I also noticed that I can hear my calls on the phone as well (just can't talk). All HD/HK would have had to do to make *any* voice-activated cell phone part of the comms system is allow a mic-in feed at the AUX port.
*I know a herd of riders will chime in that nobody should be talking while riding, but I use the CB all the time on trips and I'm still alive.....a hands-free cell call wouldn't kill me either
In any event, it's a pity that HD audio design team are so far behind the times. I don't see why I should buy a HD Bluetooth module for $500....so I can wirelessly attach my cellphone....to a system that uses a wired boom mic on my helmet. The entire system should be wireless, IMO. Or at least for $.20 they could have soldered in a mic wire on the AUX port.
At least I can hear my GPS.

Hey Trock--Its alot worse than $500 my friend! The UNIT is $500. Then, unless you have an Ultra, you need to buy the Ultra Overlay harness ($125) to plug it in the *** end of the radio. Then, the dealer hauls out his "Digital Technician" and tells the radio that an XM module is there (usually $75)--then there is the labor.
At least with the after market ones you dont need to have a degree in rocket science to make the XM work!
