Bluetooth in saddlebag?

[coolwazabi]

Just curious if there is a way to add Bluetooth to the trunk saddlebag so I can use the hand controls

I guess you are talking about controls on the bars.
Pardon a Yankee for not understanding at first.

[coolwazabi]

Yeah sorry. I wanna use my phones music but use the hand controls on the bike.

Maybe somebody else knows something, but can,t see how.

you can plug your iphone(or a usb stick) in the bag and wont need bluetooth. You have volume and track control from the bar.

This did not work on y 13B. The usb symbol showed on the display but the I phone6 said it was not compatible. I used the apple cord that came with the phone. I did get it to work by plugging the phone in the audio input in the left pocket. But had no control over the phone through the bike controls.

I know I can plug it in directly. But I need it in front of me for gps.

I'd suggest using a USB thumb drive/memory stick rather than your phone.
Load it up with many gigs of tunes and leave it plugged into the saddlebag port. Control all the playback from the hand controls.
So easy to replace the tune list if you have your songs on a computer.

OR...
run a USB extension cable from the trunk back up to the front of the bike where your phone will be. Easy.

Ride safe.

I tried this just last week and with the extended cable it would not power my iPhone X. I have been running with an iPod Nano that I picked up a few years ago exclusively to have it live in the saddlebag for music. But I wanted to start using my phone for the GPS app and thought if I just need to extend the cable I would have a winner. No such luck. Maybe one of the tech guys can chime in as to why this didn't work with the longer cable? BTW... the Nano would work with the longer cable setup. Just not the phone. Which I assume means that the phone requires more power and that's why it didn't work. IDK??
