F3-T audio info

[Lamonster]

Here's some info you may not have seen about the audio system on the new F3-T. They get a lot of sound out of a 80 watt system by channeling the sound and keeping it in the riders area much like a Bose system. It sounds great.

Lamont,
Does the USB port replace the original "patch plug", that we have to use on prior year bikes?
Or is it in addition to it?

For the RT there's a pigtail with the usb and audio jack. The F3T is as I've shown in the pictures.

You guys are over thinking this.

On the previous RT's BRP (actually RadioSound) implemented it's own DIN plug instead of a standard USB plug and a standard 3.5mm audio connector. But for the iPod this basically IS a USB connection just not using a USB plug on the Spyder.
The other leads on the DIN plug was an audio connection (3.5 mm audio to the DIN) for basic MP3 players that do not have a USB port.

Now all that is on a standard USB connection. No audio connection just USB.

So per what it says, to use a iPod/iPhone you just use the USB cable that came with your iPod/iPhone. You will get on the screen all the iPod function like you see on a RT today. Nothing more nothing less.

If you plug in a MP3 player via USB, or even a simple USB thumb drive, you can play music with basic music controls like AUX did on the RT with a little more info and cap[ability than todays RT.
