This thread just keeps on getting crazier...

If your RT doesn't have audio there are no speakers behind the grilles, just empty spaces

Yeah - but who in their right mind would buy an RT without audio??

Never yet worked out why you'd want a radio on a bike.  Does it come with an ashtray?

I used to find it useful getting out of date traffic info for something 80 miles away in the opposite direction.

Traffic info from the radio is automatically fed to the Nav 5 , when in Switzerland it said road ahead is closed, none of my pals believed it and several miles later it was. I don't do music on the move though, my brain is not big enough to handle anything other than riding the bike.

Only if you pay for the link.

No it is free from the radio,RDS, you only pay for the link from smartphone to Nav 5.

Quite, from your radio.  No radio you pay.

Which was what my post clearly referred to.

I should have added if you have spent an extar grand on an audio unit.

I bet you buy cars with cloth-covered seats, instead of leather, too...

Nope, leather every time.  Radio on a motorbike, not a clue.

I don't like leather car seats and I don't want a radio on a bike so I don't have either.
Don't really see the connection between the two .....
We all like different things and I'm OK with that, but I would have liked the extra cubby hole that comes with the audio unit - can't have too many cubby holes .....
