I tried the radio thing. I decided to install a car stereo and sattellite radio I had hanging around on my spare parts shelf. I tried to hook up headphones to the car stereo through the RCA out ports. I got it all to work, but with the motor running it wasnt loud enough. I removed the car stereo and tried my Radio Shack AM-FM-WX radio with cheap noise cancelling headphones and it works pretty good. The Radio Shack radio has enough power to drive the headphones and picks up the Sirius radio pretty good! I can also hook up the Ipod through the Radio to boost the power to the headphones. Everything sounds OK, not great, just OK, so I am sure that I will spend some time just listening to the diesel engine as well.

I just purchased a new car with the XM radio included. This gives me a spare XM receiver. I have the DELPHI Skyhi portable that I move from car to house. Now I want to install it in my X748. It transmits a FM signal and I hope to use a headphone radio with built in FM. It is 18 outside today so not happening today.

I tried the iPod once on my 4410 but the noise was too much. This should be a easy install It is small

Hey Lou, Does the MG in your name stand for Morris Garage?

Lou, I am in Kinnelon. MGs are as addicting as JDs.

A simple solution to the volume issue is to take the speakers from a cheap pair of headphones and mount them in a pair of earmuff style hearing protection. Or use earbud headphones with muffs over top.

I try a radio me too but it's to noisy, I prefer the sound of the tractor in my ears and IMO it's safer to work without any distraction.

...Or use earbud headphones with muffs over top...

that works perfect, with the MP3 player in my phone anyway!
