the H-D ipod interface is expensive and to use the hand controls and read the display as you page thru menus takes you eyes off the road way too much..
so like the others I use the aux in- although I use the isimple interface as it charges for me as well.
a clear front holster ( which i had) clips to the fairing pouch so the display is near eye-level so i can read directions or maps.
a cable with pause/play switch on it is nice for rolling up to the toll booth- these switches also have next track and rewind to beginning functions. Griffin, $15

I upgraded my stereo with the Sony DSX-S100 and the Biketronix kit so that I still had the had controls.
Now I have over 7000 songs at my disposal.

I just installed the HDPDPlus from Iron Cross Audio. It works great, it was simple to install, I control it with my handlebar controls and the price was a lot less than the HD unit. Give them a call they can give you all the information you need.
Another thing, remember to put your IPhone on airplane mode while you're riding, otherwise you'll hear your phone ringing through your stereo.

I installed one of these cables. Nice and low cost for only $8.00 and it charges the iPod while I am riding.
