iPod Compatibility

[bcoulter19]

Just so everyone knows what Art Mann and I are talking about. We both live near Huntsville, al. About 45 miles away is a city called scottsboro and there is a business there called unclaimed baggage. this business buys all the unclaimed baggage from the major airlines in the U.S. and it is shipped to Scottsboro where they sort threw it and was the clothes. clean up teh electronic and test and make sure there in good working order etc.. They have clothes, electronics, sports equip., just about anything that someone would put in a suitcase for sale at really good prices. and there is only one of these.

You can purchase an Apple lightning adapter cable that will mate the newer equipment to the old style adapter.

That is correct. I just tried it on my 2013 RT. With this Lightning-to-30-pin adapter, you can completely control the new iPods from the multi-function control on the left handle bar. It will also keep the new iPod's charged.

Warning... get an Apple one. Many of the cheaper knock-offs on Ebay and Amazon do not work and/or will not allow you to perform all the functions.

I took the opposite approach.
I had an iPOD touch 32gb and bought my 2010 Spyder after that, so the cable that came with the bike fit perfect.
I bought my 2014 just about 6 weeks ago. I needed a bigger iPOD, so I made sure to get the 4th generation iPOD Touch 64GB off ebay for about $110. The unit is flawless, and looks brand new
Not only did I save a ton of money over the latest version, it also works perfectly with the audio system.
With 20/20 hindsight, I could have saved more money by getting an iPOD with cosmetic damage. The thing just sits in the back all the time. No one ever looks at it.
I may just look for a cheap ugly unit and keep the flawless one for personal use.

Do you mean the audio display on the main screen, like station number, or iPod, or weather channel number? If so, if you turn the key off, and then on, and then off, all without waiting each time for the shutdown or startup sequence to be completed, the display setting goes to disabled. It's a bug in the cluster s/w.

This usually happens if you forget to set the parking brake, hear the beeps, quickly turn key on, set brake, and turn off.

Thx but not what happens, just normal use & thought maybe the iPod died then charged after cranking, but on multiple iPods now it randomly sets itself to disabled¿ my rpm display stays up but radio/iPod setting turn off is odd, I'm not ocd but do follow my habits to make sure I'm not the problem, is more annoyance than anything, i get going i dont wanna stop to fix setting, back to how i left them
