Heads up - It is on sale for $9.99

 

Get the app Waze or Mapquest. Both free and have turn by turn vocal directions.

 

Hi guys. Have been following some of your work here, getting your iphones on your bikes. Here's a nice-looking, EASY way to do it (and parts made in USA): http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/iphone.html

 

Just curious, how do you mount your otterbox belt clip to the bars?? I have the windshield bags too.

 

I HAVE A 2012 FLHX. I WANT TO HOOK MY IPHONE UP TO MY RADIO.I'VE READ ALLTHE FORUMS AND SOME SAY YOU CAN HOOK IPHONE UP TO RADIO AND SOME SAY YOU CAN'T.I BOUGHT THE CORD FROM RADIO SHACK PART# 42-223 it still doesn't work.WHAT I'AM I MISSING?

 

Zip ties

 

Do you have the radio set on AUX? Volume up on your iPhone? I am assuming you are connecting from the headphone jack on the phone to the AUX port on the radio.

If you are trying to hook the iPhone up to the HK Audio system on the bike to be an MP3 player, you're on the right track. Just plug that cable into your iPhone earbud jack and the other end into the aux input jack, crank the volume on the iPhone to max, and go to the "AUX" mode (which only shows up when you have a device connected to the external aux connector) hit "Play" on you iPhone music app and you should have music through the speakers or (on my Ultra) headset with the volume adjustable by the handlebar volume control. Only problem is, you cannot select songs, start, stop, rewind or fast forward except on the iPhone screen like you normally would. If you want all that, the adapter is sold by Harley http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US that wires into the back of the radio inside the fairing for a mere $399.95.

Neither will let you talk on your phone through the HK Audio system. Harley USED to offer a bluetooth hands-free module that mounted in the tourpack. It worked GREAT (yeah, I had one on my 07 UC) but the MoCo obsoleted it and I have only been able to locate ONE in the entire U.S. still available. That dealership wouldn't come off the price and wanted $499 for it even though it was obsolete and no longer carried or supported by HD.

J&M Audio has some pretty good setups and bluetooth configurable accessories but they too are VERY proud of their stuff.

If all you want to do is listen to your playlist or tunes library, you got what you need. I have an old Gen1 iTouch that I use for that purpose. I went one step further and got a 2-plug USB adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and I simply plug in my Apple cord into it to keep the iTouch charged.

You can also download the FREE MapQuest App for the iPhone, hook it up this way and get voice GPS directions through the speakers or helmet headsets. (I suggest a large or unlimited data plan as this method uses the cellular data to keep refreshing the mapquest app maps.) I don't bother with viewing the map screen display. I usually just carry the iPhone in a windshield bag. BUT...I warn you again...you MUST be in the AUX mode on your radio to hear the directions, which means you can't be jamming to the CD, AM/FM or WB and hear the directions.

 

Nice set up. Do you have to have power to the cable to get your music to play through the AUX input or can you only power it when you want to charge the iPhone / iPod?
