I have a 2015 goldwing 40th anniversary. I am wondering if any one has been able to connect their phone to the USB port in the trunk to be read as an iPod. Mine will connect for a couple minutes then the USB icon goes away and phone stops charging. Once I connect a thumb drive back to it, nothing happens.
Also is there anywhere I can download German maps for the GPS? I do not want to have to pay 300€ for a German mapset. I am not opposed to using my phone for maps and have swapped the cigarette socket with the usb charger and have the adapter to charge and listen to music.

Re: iPhone read as an iPod
On my 2013, I use my iPhone connected to the USB in the trunk almost exclusively for music, it shows as an iPod, on mine I have to hit the AUX button twice for it to play my Pandora stations or my prerecorded music.
I have never tried to use the maps app on my iPhone while on the bike, use my Garmin for directions.

Re: iPhone read as an iPod
before you hook plug in your i-phone, try disabling the auto-lock (brightness and display). mine also only reads the phone as ipod.
I know people say we spend too much money on our rides, but I can't hear them when I'm 1000 miles away!
