My first gas fill was 53MPG. That fill was at 125 miles on the bike. I will add a bike speedometer this weekend so I have more accurate speed and will have a trip odometer. Oh yeah, I will need to clean up my winemaking equipment. I am sure the grapes will be coming soon.
The USB connection will connect to all types of devices, so experimentation is the key to finding out if you can use your phones ability to connect to radio and stream it over the stereo, or just what will work with the direct connect function of the Jetmax's player device. I use a little portable MP3 player for that. The heart of the Jetmax stereo "device" sits under the dash cluster - just in case you are wondering. Keep in mind that the Jetmax stereo system is a FM receiver so there is the ability to connect devices that can stream via FM frequency. I have a little FM sender device that plugs into a vehicles cigarette lighter, so I have also wired in cigarette lighter extension plugs as a power source. Once this is connected and powered up I just transmsit on a selectable frequency then it's a case of tuning in the Jetmax FM receiver. I have to admit that I have not tried to connect and use my HTC HD2 smart-phones FM radio function, but then I also have several gigabites of MP3's on it that I sometimes play directly through a set of ear plugs or just through the phones speaker, with the phone sitting in a GPS type cradle attached to the top of the dash protected from the elements under the screen. The key with the USB plug in the cubby is that it does supply power as well as act as a data receiver, but only when the ignition key switched on, which is partly why I hard wired in a cigarette lighter plug extension (3 plugs and has a USB plug too).
