I have been using my Ipod in the saddlebag since I purchased the F6B.Its locked up when I stop at places and with the handlebar buttons controlling it I have no reason to move it.
Am I missing something?

Ride it like you stole it
I thought about this when I first got the bike, then forgot about it as I accessed the plug alot less then I thought I would. I just have a thumb drive connected, and don't really update it much. Also, it seems like someone else was having trouble with the signal on the long run of USB cable...

Same conclusion when I use a MP3 player. Control everything from the bars.
I sometimes stream music - Slacker Radio, through my "smart phone" which is connected to the RCA cable in the left compartment. Good access, but good potential for getting stolen.
My challenge now is where and what type of charger to mount for both.

Is your radio seeing your iPod like this? if so please give us the part number you used for the cable most extensions dont seem to work
I went a different route, but same location. I used the longer J&M aux cable and the powerlet micro charger direct to the battery.
Everything is fully functional. I use my iPhone. Sometimes I'll use a playlist, or I'll use Pandora. Since I do use the iPhone, when I exit the bike, I take it with me so there's no increased risk of theft. There is plenty of power to charge it in the glovebox.
The cable I used is a Gigaware 10' USB 2.0 shielded Extension Cable.
Part No: 26-1408

Duh! I thought having my I pod in a plastic box out of the way was a good idea. My XM radio is in my left glove box as I seldom change channels. XM antenna is stuck on the clutch reservoir. Happy Motoring all....

If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
LOL! You are not missing anything, and there is nothing wrong with leaving it in the saddlebags. I guess it comes down to personal preference. I would like my iPhone fully accessible, and since I use it for music, I would like to have it available in a pinch, so for me, it would be a pain to have to go into my saddlebags each time I pull over to stop for gas, lunch, or into a store or home.
If I were to use my ipod, or MP3 player, I would have to open the saddlebags and turn it off everytime I was going to be away from the bike for extended periods.
Most of the time, I stuff the hell out of those bags on a trip, and I don't want to worry about pulling on the ipod cord, or knocking it with a helmet or boot. JMHO
I ran a USB cable from my right handle bar to the cubby for power to my iphone…. I then blue tooth the phone to my helmet or a blue tooth device into my ears…
