Electrical tech help request

[frank3]

I would like to have my I-Phone 4 pluged into the radio while it's mounted up front at handle bar location. Presently, I have installed a 3.5mm stereo recptical in the switch bank that is wired into the rear compartment. This allows me to hear my i-phone (like an I-pad) through the radio while having it up front. Problem is, I also have to have the I-Phone plugged into my new 12V recptical at the same time to keep it charged. Wondering if I purchase the BRP GPS recptical for the front, use the RT-S provided pig tail, will the pig tail plug into this GPS recptical. If so, it would provide me with the radio connection and keek the phone charged. Wondering if someone out there with a factory GPS and a I-Phone could see if the pig tail will plug into GPS recptical and work.:dontknow:

I am quite sure from the pictures, the GPS cord is the 3.5mm cord and that will not charge your iPhone. The power cord for the BRP GPS is not the same as the iPhone. Can't understand BRP going to the trouble of offering a $150 handle bar mount and then make us run a cord all the way to the trunk. PLEASE give us up front connections or better yet bluetooth!!

Does an iPhone accept a standar iPod connecor cable? If so, why not buy an iPod extension cable, and run it to the Standard iPod connection in the rear trunk That way you will get both the charging and the audio hookup.
