Ok, I tested a theory I had today. Since I haven't gotten my Burgman yet, I tested my theory on my lawnmower. Like many of you, I hate to ride without tunes.
Here's my theory.
An XM Radio reciever will put out enough audio power without a radio for a amplifier thru it's line out jack to play through a set of small ear buds or walkman headphones.
Theory proved correct today as I mowed the back forty.
So what does this mean?
If you have a Delphi Sat receiver and a car kit you can plug your power cord into your power outlet on your Bergman, mount the antenna plug & it into the mount. Plug in your headphones in the line out jack and you've got Satellite radio in your ear.
Draw back.
Without playing through a radio you don't have volume control, but I could hear my tunes over the riding mower at full throttle. I'm thinking that when my Bergman gets here I can mount my Delphi reciever on the center of the handle bars and wear my earbuds under my helmet. Used to use a walkman on my crotch rocket for tunes, but with the advent of satellite radio and the no commercial format, it is all that more appealing.
If you put an amp to power some mounted speakers and volume knob you wouldn't need a radio. If satellite is all you need, that is.
Anyway, just one of those odd things my fertile mind thought of, and thought I'd share. :idea:
