Also ran short cord from the box to the front by the handle bar to plug to my 7" GPS and get the direction to the speakers. Not sure if anyone did this before, but I feel that'Audio 2.jpgAudio 1.jpgs the way it should have been done.
    Maybe because they knew the glove-box could get too hot for electronic devices?

    Default To maybe reduce confusion.

    When posting it is often helpful to know the model and year of the Spyder you are talking about. There can be differences. If you put that information in your signature. Then you do not have to remember to include that in the body of your post.

    The location of the audio input is different depending on the model year of a RT.

    May be I should do that. But yes, in my 2018 RT Limited, the cables are in the frunk. Very short too. As far as the heat in the glove box, I realized, soon enough, that the whole bike gets hot after a few miles of riding. Also, like Bhern suggested for not being able to fiddle with the equipment while riding, I call that "discipline". Set up your device and forget about it while riding. Period.

    Default Nicely done

    Well done and a great solution for easy access. I would think they did as they did because of the size and amount of equipment one might connect to.

    The glove box on the RT gets too hot for phones, but if you want to heat a burrito in it go for it. On the F3T/Ltd the hook ups are in the small box above the dash, not only does it get too hot, but it is barely large enough to fit an IPhone 8. On my RT I never got good reception if I had my phone in the front trunk, the rear trunk was fine.

    I totally agree and would never put my phone in the glove box due to the excessive heat........ I'm glad to see they have addressed this issue in the new 2020's
