Lightbulb Hells Foundry Dashlink another Ipod/iphone option

I wonder if this will be better than the Harley Davidson interface.

Copy and pasted from web site;

Because DashLink keeps your iPhone and iPod touch fully charged, it allows you to use the best features of your device full time.
That means your Navigation Application can run with the screen lit while playing tunes.
Use Blue-tooth earphones or Wi-Fi enabled devices, use as a head-unit with streaming audio like Sirius/XM or Rhapsody , there is NO LIMIT.
The docking location provides convenience never before seen in a "Phone Holder"
iPhone and iPod touch both utilize "flash" memory, which is not susceptible to vibration like older "disc storage" methods. It is the best technology to use on a motorcycle.

When I called them a few weeks ago I was told it does not charge the phone. If I have spoke incorrectly, my apologies. I can only go on what they told me.

It don't look so good neither. They need to change their web site then.

$400 is a little steep to listen to my tunes though

No thanks!
The HD unit is kinda cool - BUT you have to take eyes off the road too much when locating tracks on the ipod ( I test rode the CVO).

2. I use my ipod all the time and find it handy to have it in my line of sight when making adjustments. Having it in my fairing pouch is pretty good for that.

3. I tried a mount on the dash, and had glare problems.

I'll save the $400 for some awesome live to ride covers!

Mike

Drew,
You are mistaken. DashLink keeps the iDevice charged and ready to use and also provides audio output.
