BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Is there some way to run the radio through the ear buds?

What ear buds?

I had to buy BMW helmet with integrated communication. My bike would not talk to my old helmet equipped with Midland Bluetooth. A new world opens up, you get communication with radio, GPS, mobile phone, passengers and USB port.
If you want to play music from memory stick through the USB port, all files must be mp3 without directories / folders.
I also use DAB radio connected to the USB port.

I have Klipsch ear buds that I would like to use for the XM radio script i have on the new R1250RT. There is a USB port and a 3.5mm jack in the right storage compartment.Is there a hook up I can use to get XM radio to ear buds?

Unfortunately no. You'd either need a Bluetooth headset, or just listen through the bike speakers. The Aux input is its own separate mode used for connecting a MP3 Player, iPod/iPhone or flash drive with music on it.

I recently did this LINKThere are options in the post that use ear buds as you have.

Don't know what bike is referred to above, but my '16 RT audio system can recognise my music USB stick which is sorted into folders by Artist and then by Albums. Mode button on the radio panel brings up the list of artists on the dash screen, then use Wonderwheel to scroll/select.
Format of the USB file system must be FAT32.
