    Of course it can, but you may need some additional electronics. I play a 32 gig mini-SD chip in a tiny bluetooth MP3 player on the F3. Anything that can bluetooth to the system or your helmet will play.

    Put a couple of small strings on it and pluck with your little finger.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    This may not be what you are looking for, but I just dumped my usb songs onto my phone and played it through there.

    This may not be helpful, but after finding I couldn't hardwire my music to the bike I burned my music to a micro SD and put it in my Garmin 595LM. With it in there you have the option of either a bluetooth connection to the bike or hardwire connection to a headset. I think the 660 would probably do the same.

    I play music from a thumb drive on the RT radio. It's plugged in the usb cable in the top case. But it has to be formatted FAT32 or it won't work.

    I tried that, couldn't get it to go. May have been the drive, bad quality. What brand drive do you use, and what app to play it please?
