My wife went to the other coast this past weekend. While there she rented a 2015 Goldwing (Black/Charcoal/Del) from Eagle Rider in Orlando Fl. She had the bike for a day and put almost 300 miles on it. She discovered something odd in the process. If you plug an iPod into the USB in the Wings trunk it charges while playing. Not so on the F6B. It would be nice to not have to take the iPod out for charging. Is this normal F6 behavior or does ours have an issue.

I thought that USB charged whatever was plugged in?
“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
Mine charges fine in the saddlebag.
2013 F6B in black of course
My 13 F6B charges my iphone4 (just used as an ipod) like a champ.
Thanks for the quick replies. I'll look into it. It is an older iPod that has lived a tough life.

I have an IPod (older) which went through 2 teenagers. It charges in the saddlebag. Mine has been in there more than a year and it is fully charged.Originally Posted by Cobraguy
I had my iPhone connected to the usb in the saddlebag all day and playing music, and it's still fully charged.
My iPod Classic stays fully charged as well.
Bad cable?
Bad jack on iPod?
Plug in "something else" like an Android phone and see if it charges....
Best of luck,
Steve

Man, you learn something new every day. I always thought that the usb in the saddlebag was only for playing music and not charging and if you hooked up an adapter to the glove box, that one would charge. Glad that I found this out.
