Fountain Inn, SC United States | Shouldn't matter, any of the nano or itouch models will work equally well. Only consideration is if its a new generation with the lightning connector, you'll need to adapt it back to the 33-pin iPod integration cable that Victory sells. |

Bangor, WI | I have an 08 Vision and the only trouble I have had with an Ipod on the bike is the capacity of the Ipod. I had a 4 gig last year and everything was cool. I upgraded to a 30 gig this year. I am not even sure of the generation. I filled that 30 gig and thought I won't have to listen to the same song twice all summer. It turns out that the 30 gig has a hard drive and a mechanical means to read the hard drive and bumps on the road can cause itto stop reading the drive. No music. I found that out by taking it back the the store and explaining that the Ipod worked well in every situation except when I was on my bike. Fortunately I was able to trade in for a 16 gig. I have loaded that up and that has worked great. 250 miles of Vision and rock and roll heaven yesterday. |

I have an 09 VV premium and went with the updated Victory black cable specifically for the 09. I bought the new Nano Ipod, plugged it in with the 33 pin adapter through Fry's Electronics and Nano said "Device not supported." I had the dealer check to make sure the software upgrade was installed, which it was. My buddy plugged in his 4th gen IPOD touch and it worked fine.
I thought I should pass this along for any folks that have an 09 because the new Nano did not work. Good thing I bought it through Craigslist vs paying retail  . I use the Nano when I go the gym and it serves this purpose well so it wasn't a complete loss. |

Grand Forks, ND | I have the nano Gen 3, 4gig. The short and fat ipod. It works great. When I plug it in, it even displays a victory logo on the screen. It also worked on my 08 Vision. |

Peru, IN | The only 30 pin to Lightning adapter that seems to work is the official one from Apple. Hit or miss with the aftermarket adapters.
Any iPod without a HDD works fine. I'm on my 3rd one (5th or 6th gen Nano...16gb). I buy all mine used and the power/data ports have all broken. I don't solder well (and definitely not those tiny connections) so it's been cheaper to buy another. |
