What kind of iPod? The ones with hard drives cannot handle the jolts on the bike.

 

If it does have a hard drive, pick up a 2nd gen shuffle or one that does not use a hard drive. I use a 2nd gen shuffle as my 1st gen was giving up (ok, I know it is coming, lol). The shuffle hangs on the lower bar below the volume controller real well.

I've heard this problem before and I have pretty much reached the conclusion that the problem is with the mounts that hold them tightly. I think that allows too much vibration to be transmitted to the IPOD. I have mine in a clip that just allows it to hand/swing from the handlebar and I've never had a problem with it locking up.

 

I think the best solution is to use something like an IPOD Nano with a memory chip instead of the regular IPOD's hard drive. If I ever buy a new one, that is what I will get but mine works fine the way it is mounted.

 

Here is what I use. I picked up a case for it with the simple button on the back like is used on some cell phone cases and clips.

Yes Guys when shopping for an mp3 player to use on your bike you want a FLASH DRIVE not a Hard Drive
