    Default Anyone Ride With an Old iPod Touch?

    I've got an old iPod Touch which still works fine but doesn't support Bluetooth, so streaming isn't an option. I'd like to use it to listen to music while I ride (by simply putting it in a pocket and connect wired ear buds to it.)

    The problem is that the Apple ear buds are very uncomfortable for me, so I'd like something thin and flat (preferably outside the ear) that might fit well within a snug fitting helmet. Does anyone know of anything that might work for this?

    Thanks.

    I did with my 12 RT. I simply plugged it into the trunk connector.

    The Sena 20S has an aux port where you could plug in a cable from the headphone jack of the iPod to the 20S and listen thru the helmet speakers.

    Don't you have an L? with the stereo? Why not just plug your charging cord into the usb port in the upper glovebox? listen to it through the radio. Unless you have the T with no radio. But I thought you had the L.

    I use an Ipod touch.
    Use the cable in the trunk and listen through the radio.

    If you want earbuds and ear plugs, try plugfones. I have an RT ad use the connector in the trunk. I use the plugfones on the 2-wheeler.

    There are many Bluetooth adapters that you can plug into the headphone jack and even the charger port on the ipod and then use it as Bluetooth, you can find may on Amazon. I think Lamonster sells a Bluetooth thingy also just cant remember what it does.

    You can try making your own custom earbuds.
