Default Boom Audio Ipod Interface

For you folks using this is there only one plug from the unit to the iPod that hooks into the power plug-in or is there a separate one that plugs into the audio output (where you plug your earbuds in) of the iPod? Also, are you able to turn the iPod off and on with your hand controls? Anything else I should know before I shell out the cash?

Thanks

You may want to save some money and consider this option.

+1 Less money, and easy install.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way shape or form. Just a happy customer.

Now if they want to give me free stuff for saying that, I won't try and talk them out of it.

When running the wire to the saddlebags do you have to drill the bags to get the wire through?

I bought an extension cable. I just close the lid on the cable. If I wear out the extension cable by closing the lid on it, I just buy a new one. So far that hasn't happened..... and they're only 15 bucks, if and when it happens. I put the connection between the two cables under the side cover.

To answer your question you only have a plug for the dock connector. You get the option to play the ipod just like you would switching to a cd from the radio (it is automaticly added to your source menu on the radio). The ipod is controlled from the handlebar controls....

I purchased the HD unit. It works great.

The hardest part of the install was figuring out how the 35 pin connector you unplug from the radio comes apart to insert the 4 wires.

I would buy it again in a second.
