elcorbs Posted May 27, 2011 #1 Posted May 27, 2011 I bought a 2011 RSV over a month ago and have not recieved my Star Branded ipod touch. Has anyone else that bought a 2011 RSV received theirs? If I don't receive any responses from this forum I will call Yamaha in California to see what the hold up is. I now have over 1000 miles on the RSV and can't ride it enough. It is such a joy to ride after riding an FJR and a Concours 14 the last 4 years. The palms of my hands are no longer sore from having to ride with my weight on my palms. The RSV is such a comfortable bike to ride! I should have bought the 1999 model that I first fell in love with so many years ago.
Phoneman1981 Posted May 27, 2011 #2 Posted May 27, 2011 Hello: Welcome to the site. Glad you like your new bike!
elcorbs Posted May 27, 2011 Author #3 Posted May 27, 2011 Just got off the phone with Yamaha and was told that the reason we are getting the ipod touch is that Clarion no longer makes the CD changers for Yamaha. I have the cable in the saddlebag but no CD changer. I was told the dealers don't know a lot about what is going on with the ipod touch. The ipod touch will come with an adapter to plug into the CD cable in the saddlebag. This ipod touch is the replacement for the CD changer. Supposed to be shipped to the dealers in the next 2 weeks?

Supposed to be shipped to the dealers in the next 2 weeks? Does anybody know if this adapter will be available for purchase? I still have the CD changer cable attached, but I ditched the changer as soon as I got the bike. Would love to be able to hook up an ipod.
XV1100SE Posted May 27, 2011 #5 Posted May 27, 2011 Did a search and from http://fooktaitrade.en.made-in-china.com/product/DqXxzEdbnopv/China-2011-YAMAHA-Royal-Star-Venture-S-Motorcycles.html saw "Single-point audio control system for AM/FM radio, CB radio, cassette, and intercom.MP3-compatible and headset-ready.The system also includes a Star-branded iPod touch®(8GB) with an iSimple™Solutions audio interface by AAMP of America." Can't find it on the iSimple or AAMP site, or Yamaha.
XV1100SE Posted May 28, 2011 #6 Posted May 28, 2011 I've started another thread on this but I emailed AAMP today and this was their response : "I am aware of the project. I believe that will be a Yamaha product only and will have to be source from a Yamaha dealer. The product shipped last week however I'm not sure how and when Yamaha will start the distribution. Please contacting the corp. office in the Southern California for more information.

elcorbs Posted June 24, 2011 Author #7 Posted June 24, 2011 Went to visit the dealer today and picked up the Ipod Touch installation kit. Installation instructions say it must be performed by an authorized Yamaha dealer but I did it myself because it was so simple. It was straight forward with no tools required. The kit contained an interface module, interface cable, ipod cable, wire/cable holders, double sided tape, new owners manual and the iPod touch with star engraving. Took all of about 10 minutes to get it in the saddle bag. What took the longest time was me getting familiar with iTunes and the iPod touch. All new to me. I am an MP3 user so it took me a while to get the songs moved to the iPod touch. Once the songs were loaded I plugged it in and listened to the tunes. Works great. You must select what you want to play then plug it in to the system. You can only go up or down on the play list which is just fine with me. The kit has no part numbers on the interface modules or cables. The kit installation instructions state that the component is not authorized or packaged for retail sale as an accessory.
elcorbs Posted June 29, 2011 Author #9 Posted June 29, 2011 I will take pictures once the rain clears on my next day off. Had doctors appointment today and didn't find the time.

elcorbs Posted June 30, 2011 Author #11 Posted June 30, 2011 Hope this is good enough for all to see. These came out the best. I will try and answer all questions that I can.
elcorbs Posted June 30, 2011 Author #13 Posted June 30, 2011 The installation instructions says and I quote:"This component is not authorized or packaged for retail sale as an accessory." "The insatallation of the digital interface is considered part of the normal unit assembly procedure on this model." Like I said previously, there are no part numbers listed for the interface module or interface cable or the iPod cable. Orbit

XV1100SE Posted June 30, 2011 #16 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Don, you are the super detective to find these things! Way to go! The other thread I started on this and my comment above was that it will still only be available thru Yamaha. I've got Pioneer Motorsport trying to source it thru Yamaha but it isn't on their catalogues and would need a part number to get it from Yamaha. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...159#post591159 Yamaha Canada didn't know anything about it...

Scooter Bob Posted June 30, 2011 #17 Posted June 30, 2011 Just got off the phone with Yamaha... the reason we are getting the ipod touch is that Clarion no longer makes the CD changers for Yamaha. I'm sure the price of the bike dropped back down, after the big jump when they made the CD changer standard.
Robb Posted June 30, 2011 #18 Posted June 30, 2011 There is a site for iSimple and the Gateway device is described in detail, however there is no entry for Yamaha. I have left them a note to attempt to get their specific part #.
Sideoftheroad Posted June 30, 2011 #19 Posted June 30, 2011 Just like the cd changers, wait long enough and they will be on ebay.
