Flush mount iphone extension cable? -help!

[Slammd]

Evenin' Folks!

Since I plan on mounting my iphone 6 on the handlebars for tunes and gps, I'm looking for an extension cable that will connect the iPod interface connector (in the saddlebag) to a flush mount like end that can be dash mounted....oh, and the flush mount end needs to have a cap/cover to prevent water intrusion. Has anyone run across something like this or have any better ideas? Thanks

I don't think you can play the phones GPS through the bikes stereo. (Let me know if you can do this / that would be nice)

For Music:
I use a USB stick in the trunk for music through the bikes stereo and then use blue tooth from my android phone to play the GPS through my Sena helmet headphones when traveling.

For Power:
I just bought a Kuryakyn 1688 Universal Charger USB Power Port Once I install this I will use it to power my phone on the handlebars (so I can see the GPS directions)

For bike stereo through Sena Headphones:
I also bought a Sena SM10-01 Dual Stream Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter for up to 2 Audio Devices this allows me to play the bikes radio through my Sena blue tooth helmet speakers.

I'm planning on extending the USB directly from the head unit to the front left pocket for direct connection to my iPhone. It seems that the F6B supports MFI, (made for ipod), but the issue with my iPhone6+ is that it might not like the voltage drop that will occur over that long run. If it doesn't connect I will connect the data pins to a powered USB charger in the left pocket to get it up to 5+V.

Here is the USB Honda plug adapter. This plugs directly into the head and will allow a USB cable to be run to the left box where it will either work as-is or need voltage boosted.

If the voltage drop is too much I'll connect it to the data pins on one of these.
If not I may use one of these unpowered USB extensions.

If you're just going to extend the 1/8" plug in the box you could get one of these and just snake it up your handlebar. Leave the male end out and no need to worry about waterproof.

I'll post a thread about this adventure when I get it done. If it works then the Maps voice prompts will come through the audio, phone will charge, and track control will integrate with handlebar buttons.

Here's where I've got my phone mounted. It's an otterbox belt clip modded onto a RAM mount.

Thanks…will either of these support enough "wires" to allow full iPhone compatibility. I'm not exactly familiar with how many active pins associated with a true Apple iPhone cable but I do know that some folks have had issues with certain cables not functioning with the f6b iPod interface. BTW, I will be supporting an iPhone 6+ as well (not an iPhone 6).

I'll let you know as soon as I get my parts in.

WOW, that seems like a lot of work....I ran a USB charger from the left cubby under the right handle bar and to a spider mount,,,,,15 minutes and $5....for the cable. When not in use I keep the USB unplugged.
