I'm surprised that the FM is not RDS....

Jim

Ok I have to ask - what is RDS?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System

Radio Data System.  Alongside the radio signal they transmit all sorts of info about the programme and the station that scrolls across the screen; interrupts broadcasts with local traffic reports too..  Also enables autotuning to the nearest transmitter for a station as you move around the country. (Assuming it transmits from multiple transmitters of course). Pretty well all auto radios have had it (and some home ones) in Europe for the last 20 years.

We're a little slow here in the states Jim.  You just have to bear with us.  Look how long it took us to figure out debit cards !

LOL!   You do make me laugh, Don!

Why?  I just went the other way - been in the TP on the last two bikes, but inside the fairing this time....

Jim

Just discovered why.  Perfectly shaped for drops of water to run in along the top of the connector and POOF!  No more Bluetooth... 

Replacement will go in the tour pak.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I learned this lesson the hard way also.

A friend with me on the entire trip, through the same rain, bike washing at the same time was fine.....  Ah well, we should have known they wanted it in the Tourpak for a reason!
