21 and newer RT Listening to radio not using BT or speakers?

[TracerBullet]

Is there, or has anyone figured out how to listen to radio on the RT 1250's that have the TFT without the speakers or BT head phones/buds?

I have a couple of really, really nice studio monitors that are wired with a 3.5mm plug. I would like to plug them in, or at the very least use them for music listening when my new 22 arrives and I can get the radio installed. I have been using them on various bikes for the last ten years or so. But never with an integrated radio. Usually a stand alone satellite set up or iPod.

If I have to do the same, or invest in good BT earbuds (albeit expensive) so be it. But I thought maybe there are others like me and way smarter with electronics.

You can buy a Bluetooth set up like a Cardo Packtalk Bold that will connect to the bike and plug you ear buds into it. Other than that you will need to hack into the speaker wires and add a speaker line in to preamp out and plug your earbuds to that. You can get and inexpensive on on Amazon of $10-$15. I have one on my 2018 RT. if you are interested I can find out what I bought.

If you are not prepared to cut and solder wire the Bluetooth route is probably best.

if cut and solder is the way to go that's where I'm headed.

I don't know anything about the new Audio System, I've been holding out buying the current RT because it doesn't have an XM Radio. My 14 wethead RT does, I used Posi Tap to splice into the audio. https://smile.amazon.com/Posi-Tap-C...Q,B019BLZWQ0,B01BK00WTC,B004D0HJBG,B0844HCT55

I wold go Bluetooth. Nothing tying you to the bike. If you go with the wired option you will be wired to the bike and will need to remember to disconnect before you get off.

I’ve been disconnecting from the bike for years, it’s habit now.
I run with wireless and None of my wireless earbuds have the battery capacity to last all day.
