New Ipod has potential for a great accessory
The new Nano (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/hom...co=MTM3NTEyNzg) seems like it could be good for the handlebars or even dash. It has a belt clip that should make it easy to strap on the bike.
Anyone else have thoughts on this. I'd like the full ipod kit with the ipod in the saddle bags, but $400 just for the hookup, ouch.

It's amazing that they can get 16G of memory in that tiny little unit. My only concern with putting it on the bars or fairing would be weather damage. That's the advantage of having the glove boxes on the Road Glide Fairing. I just hook my iPhone up to the stereo and put it in the glove box.

Good point. I didn't think of that. I like the pretty little display. But then again, I don't need to adjust it much. Random, skip, play/pause.

I just got the HD Boom Audio Tank Pouch for my iPod. The back is magnetic and I stick it on the left side of my tank so I can easily change the songs with my left hand. It works great and disconnecting only involves removing one wire to the Aux port in the stock radio. Compared to the overpriced HD iPod Interface, the pouch is a cheap and easy alternative.

Why yes actually, but I'm glad you're bringing it up again.

I just stopped by the Apple store to check it out again. Seems quite promising. I may try to fabricate a control mount (clutch side) bracket specifically for the new Nano. Although I have to say the 4th gen Touch is looking real good . . . .
