I am trying to set up my wife Nancy's 2014 RT Limited so that she can listen to her iPod through her Sena SMH10 headset in her helmet. On her RSS, I electrified her tank bag and she just plugged into her iPod. That also seemed to allow the Sena to stay charged longer. The RT does not seem to have any similar tankbag options and connecting the iPod in the topbox and using bluetooth seems cumbersome and expensive for the BRP parts that are needed. In addition I have heard that the volume control on the RT does not control the bluetooth volume. Any suggestions?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Best Setup for iPod to Sena SMH10 on an RT

For the RT the iPod plugs in the trunk. This cable should have come with your RT.
Using this allows you to control the music (playlists, song selection, etc) from your RT dash.
Then to hear it in your Sena SMH10 there are two ways.
1) If it is a iPod touch it has Bluetooth. You can bind the iPod directly to your SMH10. Only issue with this approach is you can only bind one headset.
2) Get or make the BRP Bluetooth dongle. What this dongle cable does is hook a Sena SM10 (media streaming device) to your radio. Now anything that would come out of the RT speakers will be heard in the headsets. Radio, iPod, etc. You can bind more than one headset to the SM10.
BRP makes this cable and SM10 combo but it is expensive. The cheaper route is to buy the SM10 unit directly from Motorcycle Dave for about $110.
Then you make you own cable as I have documented in this post:

It is correct that you cannot control volume from the SM10 to the headsets via the handlebar controls. But you do not need to. This is why you have a volume knob on your SMH10 headsets.

AM I missing something with this link? He doesn't sell anything Bluetooth related?

No, I was just suggesting he could mount his Ipod on the dash so he could control it.

That's what I do, put it on shuffle and let it play.
