I still have my iPod,, I recently went to the htc one cell phone.  Was looking for an adaptor or a cable that would let me play it thru the iPod connector. Be nice to hear pandora or stream some radio..the htc uses a mini USB connection. Thanks.  Stuart.

Can not be done via the IPod connector. This connector is made for and uses Apple specs and Apple does not play well with others. Only way I know of is plug the headset output from the phone into the Auxiliary Input on the radio.

I had a feeling it wasn't going to be easy or able to do it at all..  Glad I still have my iPod.  ::)

I just put something on my bike that I think everyone with the stereos need. It plugs into the Auxiliary on the radio. It connects the iPhone or any other Bluetooth item to the radio with no wires. I was just playing my music from my iPhone and I had the map's on. The music would lower when the maps would give out directions. How much you're wondering $18.

Well, pray tell what is it?  Have a link?  I listen to tunein radio all the time (KJUL out of Las Vegas....what a station) and would really enjoy that option on the bike.

Sounds like a bluetooth dongle with a 3.5mm plug. A plain 3.5mm cord is only a few bucks.

I bought a cord from Samdoc that I use for my Samsung galaxy 3 and it works great. Mnot only does it play music from my play list but also Pandora. My favirite part about it is it charges your phone as well. The only let down is you can't switch tracks with your handlebar controls
