Default bluetooth

Right now I use a Bluetooth adapter that plugs in to stock radio aux input. Is there some way to add a permanent adapter into radio. Before I start getting smart $#@ comments it is for music and GPS only not phone calls and text. Thanks in advance for any help...

The most cost effective way would be to have iron cross do the modification to have the aux jack placed on the back of the radio, then run an extension cable to one of your fairing pockets or some place that you wanted to mount the Bluetooth adapter. When you had it apart you could modify a usb charger to keep the Bluetooth module powered up.

Other than that, J&M has some Bluetooth equipment that ties into the system and will allow cell phone use also, but that is quite expensive.

I just found a guy on eBay who makes internal Bluetooth adaptors for HD touring. His name is Blue Glide. $100 and it is behind the fairing wired in to the power supply but he still has a cable running from the input jack back behind the fairing. Not as neat as it could be.

We're working on something now and hope to have it ready by Dec 1.

This will be streaming audio only. No need to connect to the aux port.
Everything will be internal.

More to come.

I'm currently using the J&M http://www.jmcorp.com/
Still working out a couple of things that bug me.
I seems to continually search for the sync'd device even when it's perfectly connected... and I'd like an "off switch" on it rather than having to switch the phone BT off/on... other than that, it works well... good luck.
