Way overpriced, considering you can get the same result for about $30 with a headphone line in cable and a cigarette adapter power cable.

following. I am interested in this I use a ipod in my truck it interfaces with a alpine head unit I love it. I just leave the ipod hooked up all the time it shuts off and on etc. that would be sweet on my bike.

i'd like to see those. unfortunately, they are not linked on the hd site like a lot of their parts are. is it possible to scan and post them?

Been using that setup for several years (except for the cig adapter ipod has enough power for a full day) it is almost impossible to change play list while driving due to sensitivity of Ipod. looking foward to be able to change things while driving.

If you look under veiw 2 of the part info you will see a parts picture, it seems to be all plug and play except for 1 wire which could be the power line.

yeah, it does. but that view does not tell you if there is any software type setup that you have to do. i like to fully research stuff before i spend big money on it. and while 350 bucks is not huge money, it is more than i would want to just throw away.

No software required. It is all plug-n-play. Problem (for me) is finding where it plugs.

Smile Cheaper way

Hi All,

I contemplated that, but first, it's way expensive, (lotta good chrome scratch there). Second, your already an "Apple" computer pro correct, with I-Tunes and all. Burn a CD with all your favorite riding tunes... pop in in the player. No? I love the MOCO, but they sometimes they don't want you to think... just buy.

That is a good point with the CDs as I already do that. The one thing is can way more on the ipod. I have 2 ipod nanos because the wife does not use the one we bought here. In a way it would be nice to just plug in ipod and forget about it. Until I change up play lists.

test rode a CVO Street Glide with one on it in sturgis last week, I liked how it worked with IPOD in saddlebag out of elements and sight. Just wish it wasn't so damn pricey, maybe I'll put it on my Xmas list and wife will buy it for me.

+1 on that thought. I burn MP3 CD's and can fit around 150 songs on a regular 80mb disk. Don't have to mess around with another device, also much more economic plus I can use the handle bar controls and view the screen!
who needs and IPOD?
