Power port audio?

[timbo2]

Just installed a power port in the left cubby of my '13 b. When I connect to my phone it charges but does anyone know how/if it to play audio through my speakers?
Many thanks

Have to use the audio connector in the cubby (cable plugs into connector under the left cubby) and plugs into the phone's audio output and is accessed via AUX on the bike's audio system. That the simplest option.

That's of course, assuming the bike had the 3.5mm audio jack accessory installed.
If you do NOT see such a jack in the left cubby, you'll have to pull the left cubby out and see if it's in the "spaghetti" underneath.
If you still do not see it, look at where your power port is plugged in....I 'think' in the same bundle is the "south" connector for the 3.5mm audio wire.
You'll need to procure the 3.5mm audio wire separately if it ain't there.....
Best of luck,

Thanks all.
I have a newer iPhone w/o a 3.5mm, at least now I understand why I got no tunes.
I appreciate the info.

Yup. Planned obsolescence. Lol.
You'll need an "Apple Lightning" to "USB" cable and use the port in the left saddlebag.
It should charge AND play through that.
Press the Aux button on the console. The screen should change from Aux to USB.
The controls on the left handgrip should work to some extent like they would on an iPod.
Best of luck,

Tanks 53, that's how I've rigged it up in the past.

Some adventurous members here have run a USB extension cable from the saddlebag to the center cubby or left cubby to easier manage that hardware scenario.
Just a thought.
Cheers,
