F3T & F3 Limited glovebox

My solution :doorag:
And I decided to stock them http://www.lamonstergarage.com/bluetooth-receiver-for-rt-f3t-st-br1/

Thanks Lamont. But I purchased 590 GPS with my Limited so I can already Bluetooth thru the GPS. Just waiting for my new RAM mount to arrive so everything is at my fingertip.

On another note I really hope we run into you and Joan at Lake George next week. We will arrive at Moose Hillock campground Monday afternoon.

Can the glove box be left popped open? :dontknow: Tom :spyder:

I just rode 105 miles home and it got hot so I left the lid open and the lid blew open and locked open. My phone stayed put and didn't get hot. Thinking of a mesh net bag to hold it in and a way to keep the lid open but not all the way.

You folks who are having heat problems, was your fone plugged in to the USB? Some fones won't go to "sleep" and the screen is on all the time if you've plugged them into a power source. Some fones have a setting like "(don't) turn off the screen if plugged in" or something like that. I won't put my fone in the glove box. I do, however, use an iPod Touch for my music.

When using the BRP C app in the dash the phone stays on but goes dark. When using it as a GPS, the screen stays on.

I'm wondering if it's the cable. I was using an aftermarket 6" cable and I'm going to try an Apple cable and see if it gets hot. Living in the SF Bay Area, it's be a while before it gets up to the 90's.

Yesterday I tried the Apple .5m cable. It got to 100° and I had the phone in the glovebox and the lid closed. Got stuck in almost dead stop traffic going uphill, 2 lanes merging into 1. The phone did just fine. Music continued to play with GPS on as well.

The 6” cable I used first off was an aftermarket one which allows for data as well as power. Don’t know why, but can the cable make that much difference?

Did some research and it seems that cables can make a difference. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mo...all-apple-lightning-cables-are-created-equal/
