Yes. The plug on the Wing for the IPod is really like the kind you use for headphones. It just runs the sound from the IPod through the bike's speakers. The volume is controlled either with the IPod or the bike audio.
Pauncho: Yes it should come up as Aux on the display. If it doesn't your aux cable just might not be connected. You can do it yourself, but it can be a bit frightening (you have to remove the fairing trim and take out the pocket to access the pigtail). I would take it to the dealer since he should certainly do it for free if your bike is new. I use a Pioneer Inno XM MP3 and it's great now that I have the external antenna hooked up; it suffered from directional dropouts with the built in antenna. My memory may be not what it used to be, but does anyone else think the audio system on the 1500's (mine was a "92) was a bit better than now?
I thought the sound system on my 1500 was better too. maybe it was the auto volume or the ambience setting, but whatever, I think it 'sounded' better in some ways. The new system is a cleaner sound at the speakers especially when listening when you are stopped/parked, but there is more wind/traffic distortion when riding. The mic on my Arai ff helmet is waaaay more sensitive to traffic and wind than my old Hondaline helmets and stock headsets and mics were. Didn't even have the terrycloth wind socks on the open boom mics on that bike, just the foam covers they came with.
