This looks more secure than the X mount for an iPhone 6+

Has anyone tried it?

RAM Model Specific Form-Fitted Cradle for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus WITHOUT CASE, SKIN OR SLEEVE

 

Can someone please confirm that the RAM bolts fit perfectly into the Scrambler bar mount clamps... Tx

 

Yeah, they are the same size.. It's easy to see which one of the three you need by how much is sticking out the bottom.

 

After using it quite a bit, I've come to the conclusion that the Scramblers USB power is pretty weak. I think I saw that it's supposed to be 1 amp, but it's not. When I go out for a long ride and run my iPhone 6 (not the plus either) with the screen on full bright and running the Navigon GPS app, while also playing music to my bluetooth helmet kit, it cannot maintain a full charge on my iPhone. I start off with 100%, and then the phone slowly drains. By the end of a 5 hour ride a few weeks ago, it was down to about 45%. Granted if it wasn't plugged in it would have been dead, but still. I've also noticed if the screen is off and I'm not using it, it charges disappointingly slow.

Luckily I happened to have a

and never used, so I wired that in. The little clip where the wires run into the OEM USB jack is 12V, so I just tapped it there so that I wouldn't need a fuse. Yesterday I did a 245 mile ride that was about 5 hours (which was awesome), and with the new USB jack the iPhone stays charged at 100% the whole time.

I guess I'm just disappointed at how weak the OEM one is that it can't even keep my phone charged when it's in use. At least the one I had on hand did the trick.

Luckily I happened to have a 1.2A 12v hardwire kit that I got off Amazon and never used, so I wired that in.

I suspect the USB isn't really there for charging things as much as upgrading maps.... I also agree it's probably an 0.5A output regardless of what the manual says.

 

my phone is to big for the pocket in the back for the phone haha so my usb is going unused for awhile until I can figure out what to mount on the bike for extra electronics

 

One problem with using phone as GPS that I found with my phone is that the battery drains so quickly with GPS on and the USB port cannot charge the phone fast enough, so basically my phone would run out of battery after about 2 hours despite the fact that it is continuously charged by USB port.

 

Yep, which is what I posted above about adding a more powerful 1.2A USB port to my bike. It'll keep an iPhone 6 charged all day with the GPS running, screen on full bright, and music playing through my bluetooth headset. It works great!

Nice! I have a Lumia 1520. What mount did you use?

 

When you buy an exhaust system Termignione for Scrambler a USB will be attached to modify the EFI

 

I thought the changes were done over the ODB plug and the USB key is for the dealer to upload into the software they use to communicate with the bike via PC.

I asked the dealer about updating efi and he told me that the change will be done by attached USB, I will se, have not tried my Scrambler yet will be done in end of June

 

Thanks for tip on the 2017 usb on the DS
