It is off.
I have been using it with power cable and headphone out to aux in. No problems , no the problem is in the griffin unit.
onward/upward!
Thanks, Mike

If you give me a week or so I will post about the solution I am currently implementing using the Griffin Autopilot, but basically I am mounting it in the hole previously occupied by the Air Temp Gauge and bring the AUX out the back of the HK headset

Posted on a device by Griffin call Autopilot. It does exactly what you have asked for. Fits in the standard cig lighter socket but because it has a compact head it doesn't dent the tank.
A cable runs to the AUX port and a second cable connects to the main iPod connector

I have used a Monster iClick remote for a couple of years now. A lot of people also like the Scoshe remote.

Just ordered one of these for my roadking project. Ill see how it works out. I have a sinster dash for the ipod, but I think Im going to mount the ipod in the bag, and put the remote on the tank dash since it has bigger button and is not a touch screen.

I just make sure if I am going on a ride I set my Ipod to a playlist that is long and that I can rock out to. No adjusting or anything...and if I have to make a change I can do it at a peee-pee break! But yeah gloves and ipods dont mix too well...lol.

I personally haven't had too much joy with the remotes that have a receiver that plugs in to the main iPod connection:
These make Ram Mounts etc awkward to work with
They drive down battery life quite badly, and on a Touch or iPhone that is a real issue
Some have a passthru which allows you to plug in a charger / mains but many don't
They us IR so rely on line of sight so dont always work quite as well as they could
That said, I havent tried all so I am sure there may be something good out the
Griffin AutoPilot, to my mind, gives me everything I am looking for and I did experiment quite a lot

I used aoubt 25c worth of velcro. Mounted my nano to a small portion of the Mirror and ran a aux cable to the aux input. Use the shuffle mode and can easly reach up and FF to the next song. If it starts to rain just pull it of and stick in in the wishild bag
