Changing Ipod Channels

[bluestratos]

I have owned my RT since June of 2011 and up to this weekend I have been able to change to the next song, up or down, anytime the bike is running. I was trying out the instructions on selecting Ipod channels (the supplimentary paper that explaines how to set radio channels etc.). I could not really figure out what it does but it did do one thing. Now I can only change to songs up or down when I select Ipod and can no longer do so when the main screen is showing. Looking forward to hearing how to put this back the way it was.

Thanks for any help.

[bluestratos]

I have heard other talk of this before so I know that it is not unique.

[bluestratos]

I may have to call BRP on this one...

[james danny]

mine will work on the back control and noise canceling is not working also

[spacetrucker]

It's the cb doing all this bad things to the iPod you need to call brp and will replace cb if you have installed it. Ok

Clearly there is some more reading to be done in the instructions about all of this... I had never given a thought to doing anything but moving forward or backward within whatever playlist I had up and running... Some experimentation is going to have to happen soon!

I think if you hold down for a few seconds the right or left arrow button while the ipod is playing it will change the play list. If you put the dash readout on the ipod where you can see the song title and hold the "Set" button it will go to the selection screen to choose by artist, album, etc. You may have to be stopped to access this last screen I'm not sure but I know you can change the playlist while traveling. Hope that helps.

I should have followed up on this thread, sorry. The problem was in the set up screen, the aux (Ipod) was not showing, I set it to show on the main screen and now it works fine.

Thanks a whole bunch! I'll try that this afternoon...

i had the same problem with our 2010 rts and we do not have a cb radio... i finally took the ipod in my house, connected it to my computer, let it sync. while i was connected to the puter i changed and added some songs.. when it was done i reconnected it to the bike and all was repaired . im not sure what step fixed it or what was the issue. that was over a year ago and all is still well...

I've got the whole next/previous thing working on mine; but still haven't figured out how to toggle betwen playlists...

If you hold down the right arrow it should switch to the next playlist. Not just push but HOLD it down. Are you sure you have more than one playlist on the ipod?

Also, it may not switch playlists if on "Shuffle", and it will forward to the next song, but will only start at the beginning of the playing song, rather than back up one song.

Right arrow... Got it!

I've got just a few playlists; but sometimes it's worth it to swtich off between them just so's the Missus doesn't get bored and cranky!

NOTHING worse than a cranky missus! I agree. Especially when they are right behind you.

When you have your iPod plugged in, does it read iPod or Aux on the main screen? Also are the controls for the passenger on the right, suppose to change the volume and songs? The right passenger controls don't seem to be working on mine.

If you have a true iPod, plugged in with the proper cable, it should read iPod on the display and be partially controllable with the left handlebar buttons. The passenger can only control changing the song. The passenger volume control only works with the passenger headset with the optional factory comm system/CB.

Thanks Scotty!

I do have an iPod and the cable is what came with the bike from the factory. I don't have the headset, so that's why the controls aren't working for the passenger. Any idea why mine is showing Aux? I have the iPod Classic 120 gb.

Showing AUX can be an issue of the cable not being securely latched in the iPod (both sides), being loose at the Spyder connection, dirty contacts, the wrong cable, or a bad cable. It can also happen if the iPod needs to be rebooted...or sometimes synced on the computer. I have heard that a recent update for the Spyder caused a problem, but I don't remember that being verified. If there is a way you can do it, you can hook the iPod to another Spyder, try a different cable, or try another iPod on your Spyder.
