For those new RT's that come without the audio package, what's in place of the speakers and the buttons on the left side?

As with everything BMW there are exceptions. Not on the LC but in earlier models you could ask for a factory fit audio prep. This was speakers, audio cradle in the locker and the antenna, period. No wiring, no switches no nothing. It cost more to retro fit the audio unit than to opt for the lot to start with.

What year is your bike Crawfordjohn? Following in on from what RTman10 is saying and I would bank on it being 100% correct, you may have speaker behind the grills, but the question is what year is your baby's?

Think you posted elsewhere that you have a 64 plate, so its a No, but try taking the covers off to be sure.

My apologies if you feel I have offended you that was not my intention. You will find that amongst the truly valuable information given on the forum there is also tongue in cheek humour. The point I was trying but failed to get over was BMW charge extra money for extra components and has RTman pointed out there was a time when BMW would have put speakers behind the grills, but not any more and he should know. Having now had to explain myself the humour has left me now :beer: :beer: :beer:

Blimey Crawfordjohn, if you think that was offensive you better stay clear of some of the other forums mate :beee: As for the speakers, it must have literally taken you longer to type your question and take offence at a reply than it would have taken to take out the two screws and look for yourself (Sarcasm intended but no offence intended) 8)

The speaker covers actually annoy me a bit if only because I constantly have to explain why I have speaker covers when I don't have speakers because I don't have a radio, but if I did, that's where they would go.
I am sure I saw somewhere that an owner had replaced the 2 screws securing the speaker covers with quick release butterfly screws, enabling the use of the pretty large voids behind the covers to be used for storing small items/extra tools etc.

I know what you mean BMjoe64, I'm surprised none of the after market plastics people have though to meek complete replacement glove box type units with a built in door to replace the speaker covers that don't cover speakers. Likewise with the empty space on the opposite side to the actual glove box type thing.
