Guest macewan Posted May 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Is there anything available? I have a few tapes to listen to but I have to upgrade to something better. You would think with such a great bike, someone would have invented a replacement for the old sound system. I have an iPhone and might try to integrate it in to the sound system somehow. That way I could use the phone and music features. I also saw that the unit says intercom but I have not found a place to plug in headsets. Am I missing something here? Has anyone come up with a way to replace the factory sound system with something a lot better? Any help is appreciated. 1984 Venture Royale 1200 Edited May 14, 2008 by macewan added bike info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated. 1984 Venture Royale 1200 Rather than to change the bike I opted to use the stock cassette player and bought a cassette adapter that plugs into my mp3 player. The cassette adapter runs fine and i slightly notched the top of the player to allow the cord to come out while the door is closed to make it neater. I then attached some double sided velcro to the top of the cassette door and to the back of my mp3 player and it works bery well. The 8 gig player runs as long as I ever want to ride! I originally tried plugging an fm transmitter into my mp3 player and tune my radio to its frequencybut it didnt give near as much sound. OH yes, i forgot, my ride is an 85 1st gen vr Brian :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaWhiskey Posted May 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2008 I do what Brian does, works very well. I am considering an iPhone but waiting for the 2nd gen to come out. I want to see how I can make it work to have as a music player, phone and GPS (I hear it will be coming with GPS). Then I have one device that acts as many.
