I have a 2014 RT. I would like to be able to listen to my music or Pandora through my iPhone 6. How can that be done?

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.
Music from iPhone 6??

Basic Way
I'm sure others will have better ideas, but I just got my 2013 RT last week. Mine came with a cord which plugs into the trunk. I plugged it in and changed the mode from FM to AUX, and my music started to play.
Thats as far as I got so far. I could have streamed Pandora tho, instead of listening to my playlist.

I can do that also but I have no control except volume. Seems like you could forward songs or get play lists.

Do you have Bluetooth? Many different ways to do this. Me, my ownself swapped out the cradle head (top only) with the same of a G665LM. I bluetooth with the Sena SMH10b and get XM radio (with xm antennae XM-40) or mp3 music I have downloaded from my music. No Dongle needed. When Bluetooth is off I get XM or radio on Spyder through Speakers. Many ways to do this with different means and results. XM radio plays anyplace anywhere, even in the mountains.
The standard G660LM is not capable of XM.

The iPhone 6 uses a Lightning connector while the 2014 Spyders still use the old 30 pin connector. Your only option is the plain audio cable which, as you discovered, only gives you volume control.
You might be able to find a Lightning - 30pin adapter but some don't give you media control, only charging.

Lightning to 30 pin adapter. My RT came with a cable to connect the phone to the round connector in the trunk on the right side. The factory cable only connects to the older iPhones and iPods. The adapter makes it work with the newer phones. If you want to leave the phone in the trunk you don't need to run any cables.

Okay so the Lightning cord plugs into iPhone and then into an adapter the fits the round jack in the trunk? Who sells such a creature?

This adapter will plug into your phone. Then take the stock 30 pin to round auxiliary cable that came with the spyder and plug into adapter then other end into auxiliary port in trunk. :thumbup:

The only din plug that came with my Spyder has a ear phone jack on it.

Mine came with two cords. One like you pictured and another which looks almost the same except for it has the old style Apple plug on one end instead of the auxiliary jack (in your picture). If you only have that one cord, maybe the other is in there? Was the byke used? I'm sure you can get the cord online or hit up your dealer if it was missing.

Ypu are missing a plug
Well at at least we figured out why it wasn't making sense:shocked:
As noted above, you are in need of the other plug for your bike. The same round end as what you have but the other end is the Apple 30 pin that will go to the adapter in the picture.

Not sure
I'd talk to your dealer where you purchased and see where your other plug is. Have heard that non Apple adapters and plugs can sometimes cause issue. I'd hate to see you buy that cable and have it not work. You could post something in the for sale section looking to buy that plug end from someone who may not be using it? Then you'd just need to 30 pin to lightning adapter.

Do be aware that the 30-pin to lightning adapter that Brentc introduced may not fit if your iPhone is in a protective case, like an Otterbox. I solved that problem by purchasing a 6" 30-pin to lightning cable at Best Buy; was inexpensive. I don't listen to music through the phone so I know nothing about changing music selections.

I play my music from my IPhone 6 by using a Sena Bluetooth communication system that is connected to my helmet. Pair your IPhone to the sena and I get all my music from the apps on the phone. No cables or dongles required. If you need to charge the phone while riding, either get a USB adapter and connect it to the outlet in the trunk, or buy a 30 pin to lightning adapter and use that outlet.
