Adding BlueTooth to Existing "Infocenter" Radio (River Park)

Post by bbwolf »

Is anyone interested in having the ability to use one of those BlueTooth Speakers, while listening to the Born Free radio/Sirius XM? This trick allows us to have the BlueTooth Speaker outside on a table, while sitting around the fire, by plugging in a simple $34 BlueTooth "Amplifier" to our existing Radio.

I just didn't know if anyone else was interested.

Yes, we're interested as we listen to Sirius quite often. Where do you plug the amplifier in?

We got one from Costco about 6 months ago. We set it on the console while driving and play the cell phone thru it. We listen to Audible books, podcasts and music while driving. And, it pauses whatever is playing to pass through phone calls (hands free) and turn-by-turn instructions from Google Nav. It's much easier to hear with our worn out ears than the silly, tinny cellphone speaker. It's also another one of those items we use the inverter for (another discussion thread) though the battery does last 7+ hours. We considered a new dash radio with an aux input but this was cheaper and more versatile.

I understand that as we also have a Bluetooth speaker that we pair with our cell phone. But I am wondering how you get xm/Sirius through your speaker/amplifier. We both are hard of hearing and would like to be able to listen to Fox News, for example, by pairing a speaker to the radio.
