What Do You Listen While Traveling?

[wildtoad]

Mostly a collection of 60-70’s rock, beach, country all supplied by iPhone through RV audio. I’ve refused to pay for Sirius as they have very deceptive ads about cost. If they ever release a truthful, full cost/fees/taxes I’d probably think about signing up with them, but I’d probably have a seizure.

Get hearing aids. I did and it made a huge difference. The car radio volume is now at 12 - 14 instead of 16 - 18 and I can hear both music & speech much better.

DW, road noise, creaks & rattles in the MH, etc. but that is getting old (shh, don't tell her) or maybe it's the hearing aids.

I finally played with the dash radio a few weeks ago. It sounds good & has a lot of functions. It has Sirius but I'm not sure I want to pay for 2 subscriptions. Maybe I can stream Sirius from my phone. We listen to the NASCAR channel, 60's Gold, 70's, and Classic Vinyl. I can also load our favorite songs on a USB drive and listen to those. We were doing that in the CG on our last trip. I think the cockpit is quiet enough that we could hear the radio well.

When I first turned on the radio, I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I actually had to read the instructions. The off button has 2 functions, one of which is lit up while "off" is in tiny black letters on a black background. I believe that having to read the instructions just to turn something off disqualifies it from being user friendly.

Mostly.
If the Yankees are playing we have to listen to them.

Same, plus Deep Tracks, Classic Rewind and some of the cable TV channels. Sirius is awesome for road trips, and at the site. Despite having to negotiate the price every time I renew...

Audio books via Audible App on iPhone connected to dash radio via bluetooth. For us, books are more engaging than music to avoid boredom but not so much to distract the driver. We live in Tulsa, OK and usually go West to the mountains in Colorado & Utah etc, so the first 500 miles of most trips is across the Great Plains, which are indeed very plain and great big. The audio books make it enjoyable.

You should be able to stream Sirius/XM from your phone to your radio.

We like Pandora through our stereo system. We usually have the Blondie channel going or 1st Wave or the 80's music station. If I'm tired and need a boost, I'll crank up some Trance music with Armin van Buuren, Tiesto or Above&Beyond.

You're a late bloomer!
I discovered disco in 1976, at the Alibi Bar in Marquette MI. I was quite the dancer.

Thank you. I tried that, discovered that phone was already paired and the streaming worked well.

99+% of the time, its windshild time and conversation with who is traveling we me.

Otherwise we play a station on amazon prime music. Mostly classic rock. I like 60/70's
