    BTW...parts, time and talent (lol!) came together today. Installed the four-pin BMW rear speaker output plug and Radio Shack 3.5mm female plugin for my earbuds...all works well. Thanks for the idea and directions.

    Good for you, Motodan.

    I bought a Bluetooth transmitter (Kokkia A9 Universal $50) that I could plug into my new jack (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ms_ohs_product) hoping that I could still use my expensive Schuberth helmet with BMW Communications System. But the fidelity was still not as good as I had hoped. (No where near my Goldwing with J&M earphones)

    Best fidelity for me so far on the R1200RT is just Sony ear buds plugged into the new outlet jack. But it's hard to get helmet on and off!

    So, I bought a kit for Fuze Custom Earphones ($50)(http://www.earfuze.com/). They fit very well, it's easy to get helmet on and off, but the sound quality from them is not as good as my Sony earbuds! Yuk!

    Don't know of a better solution, for now, than the Earfuze with wired connection. Still pissed at BMW for continuing to produce a terrible sound system.
