IPhone on 87 Venture

[Waahoo]

Hey All,

 

Just got an 87 Venture XVZ and was wondering if anyone has managed to hook up an iPhone to the bike or similar model with any success? Using a cassette adapter right now and it kinda sucks if you know what I mean!! ; )

 

Thanks

I would have to say yess. But to tell you what the heck the fellow was using, well I didnt take notes. WE were on a meet and eat and fellow from over Ft Myers way I think had a first gen. He had his cell phone and a I-Pod connected and had a neat little switching type unit. I thought about looking into one for my 2nd gen. Hopefully someone can jump in here in enlighten us as to which unit will work for you.

2nd Gen

- if you have a Garmin Zumo, then you can bluetooth your phone to the Garmin and use a BuddyRich cable to tie into the bike communications. You can make/receive phone calls thru the gps.

- iPod/iPhone for playing mp3's - you can get an iSimple device from Yamaha. Plug it into the left saddlebag cd connector and you can control it from the audio controls on the bike. If you don't have the cd cable in your saddlebag (pre 2009) then you can get the cable from Yamaha and connect it to the bike.

 

1st Gen can also use a BuddyRich cable (may be special for 1st Gen's) with a Zumo

The I-simple is WAY WAY outa my gadget price range @ $235. I have looked at the I-simple web site and there are some available for $180. Its just finding one that is compatible with the old technology of the C-bus or whatever they call the connector on the bike.
