Ipod Interface
Hello everyone, i just wanted to pass on some possibly useful information. i was doing a search for a way to connect an Ipod without blowing the bank last night and as most of you know, HD sells their Ipod Interface for a pretty penny. I found this company called "on the move technology" and they have an Ipod Interface that goes for 279.00. there's a video on YouTube and pictures online on the installation.

Started reading the other 22 page thread here titled the same at this on (did a search on Ipod Interface) and it looks like the HD set up is a major PITA with inserting wires etc. Is the iron cross literally plug and play? Looks like maybe 2 wires have to be inserted in the connector?

I did the iron cross interface, customer service is unbelievably great and product is solid, I did run two lines from battery to unit direct with a fuse on power , used the spade connection and no hacking into the harness.. did this on my 2012 Limited,, works great!!

I was just going to post up asking about the Iron Cross set up Gonzy. So that set up does everything the HD set up does? Looks like install is much easier too?

the install for the hd version is not really that bad. sure, it looks intimidating at first, but if you go step by step, it is pretty simple. my first one took about an hour and fifteen minutes. when i did it on my wife's bike, about a half hour.
either way, if you go with otmt or hd, the iPod controller is a great item to have. you can hook up your iphone to it, listen to internet radio, keep your phone charged

Yep only 2 wires to connect. I would recommend soldering the wires instead of using the supplied connectors. The first time I used the connectors but the ground was bad so I took the fairing off then soldered the wires like I should have done the first time. The Ipod connector cord that came with my kit was long enough to go into my right side saddleback.

I think I'm going to go the Iron Cross route. Looks like it's a all around better deal. I have 2 cell phones (one for work and one personal) and one is a the Iphone 4. Problem is Its already full and I want to add more music. I like the idea of the deal to the saddle bag, but the more I think about it I think I am just thinking of buying a nano (16GB and my Iphone is only 6.5 GB) and leaving it in the faring. I guess the only advantage with having the set up in the bag would be using internet radio. If I really wanted to do that I could always just plug the Iphone into the face of the deck for that or using it for navigation....
