you are talking about the aux input on the intercom? There is something weird about that input, I used it once for a cell phone, and the volume was not controlled by the handlebar control, (not sure if you have the same intercom as me) but when I used the cell, it was so loud, I couldn't stand it. I don't know why but it seems that others have tried to use an ipod in this input and got zip. I have a 2000 with the cassette in the stingray and just use a cassette adapter and plug in my iphone. I can't do any selecting of music, but I can control the volume from the handlebar.
