iPod / iPhone remote option
I have posted about the Griffin AutoPilot remote control. I have been really happy with this device as it gives me all the control I need plus charging and Aux linkto the HK headset.
I took this one step further whilst painting my inner fairing. I removed the Air Temp gauge and machined up a facia to mount this device in. I then did the mod to the HK by bringing the Aux out the back.
I think the result is very neat and very functional.

I doubt it, which could be on issue at some stage but I will take extra care to avoid getting moisture there. It was a fairly cheap device and changing out shouldn't be too much of an issue

SG, I grew up in Leckhampton. Live in sunny Florida now. Quick question, was it difficult to change the AUX to the back of the HK? Did you do it or have someone do it? I have a Drive and play installed and have an iPod Nano mounted inside the fairing. I would like to get rid of the lead going into the front.
Cheers.

Modifying the radio is easy enough but not for the faint hearted. I am an engineer so not intimidated by soldering etc. It is certainly worth doing as it makes things MUCH neater. The biggest part of the job would be to get the headset out, which is why I was keen to do it whilst painting the inner.
These are the instructions I followed and they were spot on. Only difference is that I left a longer flying lead to 3.5mm male that plugged in to the Griffin AutoPilot. I am a bit sceptical about having too many connectors in that line, sound certainly degrades through each connector.

Good luck

SG, I live in Weston just outside Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks for the 'How to' article. I already had my Radio out when I changed out my bars so no worries there. I will put this on my 'Summer Mods' list. Floridians do their mods when it is way too hot, humid and miserable to ride. We love the Winter.

sgdiesel I have a question. Can you tell me how far the auto pilot stuck out when you plugged it into the 12 volt outlet? I am interested in using this on my road glide and the outlet is down low near the fuel tank. I can only find these on line and i can't get much info on size. I even tried the griffin support line and they are moving and not available over the phone. Thanks in advance for any info.
