hubbsfd Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share #27 Posted May 27, 2013 I have made a few of these choices on my own but I'd say 90% have come through researching on this site. I'm not finished yet. I know I'll never get the investment back but then I never plan to sell this great bike. I did up the insurance on accessories to include this list. Hope I never need it. So once again I want to thank all the contributors on this site for the great advice and reviews to help me make good decisions and the technical instructions that allowed me to do the mods myself for the most part.

dacheedah Posted May 27, 2013 Share #31 Posted May 27, 2013 Yes on the Iron Butterfly and Cream and some Jethro Tull, Moody Blues and Pink Floyd. All longer type songs. That is not to say there is anything wrong with opera. My degree is in vocal music so I do listen to and sing opera. But that is a seperate SD card altogether. Here's the deal on the MP3 Voyager. Yes there is an on off switch built into the wire inline going into the player. There are two ways to connect the device into your bike. The method I used was to plug it directly into the amp via the plug maked with a gray color. My understanding is that will keep the music digital vs. the other method which I think will cause it to be analog. I don't have the instructions in front of me right now so I don't recall everything about the seond connection method. The AUX jack in the cassette player still works as it is a seperate connection to the amp. The limit on the 4 gb SD card has nothing to do with size that the device will recognize. The controller on the bike only has two digits it can display for each CD. So 99 songs per CD times 6 CDs is the maximum number the controller will allow to be played. If you have more they will not be recognized thus skipped. You can use an SD card larger than 4 gbs that way you could have longer songs (larger files) as long as you don't go over the 99 files per CD. Remember the bike thinks this thing is a 6 CD changer with up to 99 songs per CD. I have multiple SD cards so when I want another 594 songs I just pop in another SD card. 594 songs as long as they are not all really big files that is, then I would have to use a larger SD card. I just buy 4 gbs cause it is close enough. My lowest number files is around 550 files. Meaning one CD only has 55 songs on it and the others all have 99 with a couple mbs of free space on the SD. You do have the freedom to do it how you want to. The other thing is make sure the files names do not have any special charcters or spaces in the name. It also says to make sure the file names are not really long but I have not had any problems with my files and some have 50 charcters or more in the name. I'll take some pics of how I mounted mine and post them soon as I can to help those interested. $149 bucks was pretty cheap including shipping from Spain for such a cool integrated device I thought. I'm going to double check the installation instructions incase I have connected mine wrong but it works and no cassette deck anymore. If there is another jack to plug it into I would prefer to keep my cassette deck functional to tell the truth. Let me double check that. I've just been doing so many things at once (and that was the fist thing I installed) that I have not gone back over it since it worked and I felt I did it right. The device on the right is the MP3 Voyager. You see the black wire coming out the bottom toward the bottom of the other device that is where the on off switch is. The device on the left is my Joe Florida LED Accent lights controller. I have not mounted it permanently as yet. But that is where I will mount I'm pretty sure. Most of my lights are already run so I will likely not move it. OKAY! I just went in a re-examined my MP3 Venture install and find I did not have to hook it up to the cassette player jack which is marked with gray as indicated in the instructions. What you made me think about was that I should have a seperate jack for a CD player which in my case would not be hooked up. I found it hidding all covered up. I put the Cassette player back in the its jack and plugged the MP3 player into the CD jack and now they all work. One caveat, the MP3 player must be powered off in order for sound to come out of the cassette player. That is a bit inconvienent for changing on the fly but I can live with it since I don't use cassettes that often. Thanks for asking your questions prompting me to revisit what I thought I was all done with. MORE UPDATE: Well I think I figured out why the instructions describe using the cassette gray marked jack. Yes you can put the MP3 player into the CD jack and leave the cassette plugged into its own jack but even with the MP3 player turned off there are issues with the cassette. It will play with sound but if you push up or down to fast forward or reverse the tape you get ERR displayed. Soon as you turn the MP3 player back on it functions correctly but no audio. So if you want to keep the cassette available just don't count on using any funcitons other than letting it play. Even the eject button will give the ERR and it will not pop out. There it is. I can't find any other options with this. It is just the way the designed it. It works really well and cassette is just not all that important these days. Hope you will enjoy yours when it arrives. If you choose to put the unit in the trunk be prepared to remove your seat and your gas tank to route the cable to the front. Splitting the faring goes without saying of course. at first I thought you were going to show us you moved the trunk back an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted May 27, 2013 Share #32 Posted May 27, 2013 .... I am preparing for a coast to coast ride next year with my father-in-law who dreams of this ride for his 70th birthday. I’ll be making sure he has a good trip. He has a new Yamaha Stratoliner 1900. We should have little trouble if we plan it out right.... Did you make the trip?

hubbsfd Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted May 27, 2013 Did you make the trip? We got delayed. It was supposed to be this late June but now we are going to stay close to home here in NC and enjoy some great riding local. Next year we are going to do the western trip but I talked him out of coast to coast just to say we did it. We are now going to do the Grand Canyon and surrounding area.
