USB CABLE INSTALL IN GLOVE BOX

[Scotrod]

Is there a USB cable in the Goldwings located in the trunk? Might be why it's 'back there' instead of somewhere else on the 6's.

Is there enough current to charge?

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?

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....

Ok again I am interested in knowing why do I want the USB cable to go to my glove box? What is the plus at having my Ipod there?I want to make sure I am not missing something good by having it in the glove box.
