Default next Ipod question

Got the cable for the radio, next question is do any of you use an Ipod cigarette charger and plug it in on the fairing? Can you charge and listen at the same time?

YES,of courseyoucharge your iPod AND listen to music at the same time.There's a seperate port for power and synching music and a different port for audio output on iPods,but you probably might want to run your line to your battery,I believe Harley's owner's manualrecomends not using the lighter receptacle to power any devices.

I charge and listen all the time. One cord in the aux port and the other in the cig lighter. No problems.

Yes I charge mine when it is low on power and depending on the model you can charge it and listen to it at the same time. I have a 30g and a 20g and I can.

One thing to consider...A cig lighter may have a different amp/breaker than an AUX input. I have two different plugs on my car (one for cig lighter / one for aux power). My brother works for Ford and said to always use the AUX port as"Power".

This is also the same Big Brother that told me if I wet the tip of my darts they would go straighter.

As they say...my $.02...
