I seen a video on YouTube were some one was using an iphone with the radio? Anyone know how to do this?

Not on the original Voyager XII with the unmodified Clarion Radio. Contact member Pete Franchi if you want your radio modified. He can replace the outdated tape deck with a number of options. He has a website too but I don't know it off hand. The only option that you have that is not expensive is to buy a miniature transmitter that allows you to plug your phone or mp3 player into it and it will broadcast through your radio on a fixed FM Channel. Amazon sells them.

Been doing it on my bike for over a year now. Love it.
I sent my stereo to Pete and had him install the Auxiliary input jack. Then I installed a jack extension cord jack from the new input jack on the back of the stereo, to the inside of my right hand glove box. I also, installed a dual USB power port inside that glove box. I purchased a (SoundBot sb360) hands free, Bluetooth adapter. This device has a control fob with a mic and radio controls, which I mounted with the enclosed magnet to the cruise counsel. It has two wire leads coming off of it, one plugs into the Auxiliary input jack and the other into the USB power-port. Your phone syncs up to it very nicely, through Bluetooth and you control your phone from it. It is designed to be used in a car and will allow you to answer your phone through it as well. I would never do this on the bike, but because this is completely plug and play, it moves from car to car in seconds. Google the unit and you will find U-tube videos showing how it works. It may sound complicated by the way I described it but it is very easy to install and work great.

I'd like to do Pete's mod but at present it's not in the cards. Instead, being the cheap barsteward that I am, I am just using a cassette to 1/8" adapter and can enjoy Pandora radio on the ride all day long. It might not be elegant but for $6 or so you can't beat the price. I use my phone for GPS so it's already in a ram mount on the handlebars so running the cord from the radio to the phone at that point is a no brainer. I put in a usb power tap so the phone is powered as well.

I was using a MP3 cassette adapter until two years ago and was satisfied with it until my cassette player started to act up. I sent it to Pete for the conversion, he told me my player was on it's last leg. His price is not cheap but I think it was worth it. He does good work. I kept the handlebar controls and when using my Iphone via Bluetooth I can advance to the next song with the seek button. I bought a Bluetooth FM transmitter like a previous poster mentioned earlier a few weeks ago for my car. I had tried FM transmitters a few years ago and wasn't very impressed with them but this one works very good in my car and my truck at work. I tried it on the Voyager but only in the garage. I think it should have enough volume most of the time. Might not be enough at 70 mph on a windy day but I have trouble hearing my stereo then the way it is now.
Another option to consider is Bluetooth speakers. No experience with these but they seem to be getting good reviews on Amazon. It would take some engineering to mount them but all they need for wiring is a ground and power connection. If you still have the stock speakers their days could be numbered, I had to replace mine with Pioneer speakers but it was an improvement over the stock ones.

Several ways to do it without modifying the radio. One is an FM transmitter connected to the earphone output of the iPhone. I've got one of those, plug it occasionally into my cig lighter socket. Set frequency to unused portion of the FM band, tune radio to pick it up. Another is an FM transmitter with Bluetooth input.

I'm planning on installing one of these (see below) in my 86 1300. Plan is to gut the cassette deck (which works perfectly by the way so I purchased a non-nonfunctional unit off eBay) and install the board in the cassette chassis (I have to keep the bike visually stock for insurance purposes). I'll wire the cassette deck control buttons/knobs to the buttons on the board. The audio output from the board will plug into the cassette position of the Voyager's sound mixer. The board has an FM receiver (which I won't use), Bluetooth, micro and regular USB interfaces, and a SD card slot. I'll route the USB connector to an outlet on the faring so I can just plug in an updated tune list when required. Cost was about 8 bucks including a remote control which is not of any use in this case as it's IR.
