    Default Question about earphone jack...

    In a few set-up pics, I've noticed several people have something plugged into the headphone jack. Now surely everyone isn't rolling around with earbuds jacked into there RD. So what is it? External speakers, wired into stereo or what?

    Motorcyclists run the earphone jack into a mixer like an Autocom that provides the audio alert as a preference over their music, satellite radio, GPS. cellphone, iPod, intercom, emergency tracker, aerial radar unit, bike-to-bike radio, or whatever else they farkle their bikes up with.

    There are remote transmitters that also plug into the jack that light a LED inside a helmet too, sort of a heads-up display.

    Very handy item to have, considering the old dog V1 needs an aux. audio box for several $$'s more to accomplish the same thing Escort includes as standard equipment.

    Now they'd only make it water-tight. Maybe a 9500ixm model for motorcyclists?

    Very nice. Is there an easy way to route alerts into my trucks stereo? Perhaps that would interrupt music?

    Sure, but it can be a pain in the butt if you don't have an amplified input jack.
