    Default Is it possible to play an IPod on my STS that doesn't have a radio

    How can I play my IPod on my STS, I don't like using ear buds ? Is there any way to add speakers and an iPod cable? I don't care about adding the option to turn the volum up and down, I can do that on the IPod, I just want to get the music to the speakers (that I add). I really don't want to pay & $850 for the Can Am radio plus the cost of installation just to play my Ipod while I ride, but I love to listen to music while I ride.

    Default YES there is a way

    OK here is what I do and it works.... I do not have a radio on my Spyder but I can and do listen
    to what ever I want, anytime right inside my helmet.... If you get the SMH10 blue tooth unit
    and pair it with your iPod-iPhone you can listen to whatever you have on it music and such
    If the phone rings it mutes the music and after the call the music comes back..give it a try
    and NO ear buds. speakers are installed into your helmet you will love it .
    I have them on sale RIGHT NOW for way less than that $850. they start at $ 159.95 give me a call....

    Don't they have some sort of IPod Docking station available?
    Something that had a volume control that you could access, and charging capability for the IPod would seem pretty nice!

    Yup I agree, great device. I use it with my iPhone works well, good audio, and just does everything. I need to decide on another for my second helmet..

    I don't use the SMH10 blue tooth I have a Chinese set that does the same thing you can even use the GPS on an iPhone/Android and it will cut the music for directions and resume. It also lets you twist the knob to raise and lower the volume as well as intercom functions.
