Are there any other smart phones other than an Iphone that the RT talks to?

Is it the only option? I have an Iphone, but just switched to a Samsung and would love to be able to use this phone like the Iphone thru the display up front. What about Blue tooth (phone to Front display)?

Thanks
Rich

No.

I am not an Inut. Use Android and PC. For our Spyders, I sucked it up and bought 2 4th gen Ipod nanos that are about the size of a book of matches, mounted them with velcro inside the trunk and plug them into the port. Never touch them again. They fully integrate with the dash display, hold more music than I could ever listen to while riding and can be had for under $50. Just get one and consider it a permanent upgrade to your Spyder.

Good Point.....

Ya I hear that. I have my old Iphone with tunes on it. So that could work. But I'm really interested in Streaming Pandora or Spotify as well.....

The interface cable will not let you stream Spotify or Pandora from Iphone either. You can use the stereo audio jack but control is only on the phone itself. Some folks have purchased Ram mounts for the phone and mounted it on the handlebar.

There are no provisions for interfacing streaming audio to the factory system with control from the display and handlebar.

I use Pandora through my Iphone, it will play through the speakers but I can no longer skip tracks or view what's playing on my 2014. On my 2013 and 2010 I could see the music info.

You can always get a Sena or Scala and Bluetooth your phone to your helmet

I'm planning on picking up a Moto 360 smartwatch when they are released later this summer. Should be able to control the music from them as well (I'm also an Android user.)

I got pulled over one time in Savannah for playing my tunes too loud so beware of cops with nothing better to do than recite the local noise ordinance!

Use your old phone as an iPod , works great .
