Default Music for Passenger ?

Is there a way for my passenger (wife) to somehow plug into my Harmon Kardon system a set of earphones with an in-line volume control so I don't have to blast the music for her to hear at speed.

Sure, get an intercom and the sound will come thru it. Otherwise, get her an mp3 player and some headphones and she can listen to her own music.

What bike? On an Ultra you can get her Harley headset and she can control her volume.

Sorry, bike is an 06 FLHX. I'm happy listening to my speakers and as far as the MP3 player goes I think they are a PIA. Even with 500 songs loaded you get tired pretty quick after a week or two vacation. I have XM on the bike and it's so much easier to just turn it on and forget about it. If she had some way to just plug a good set of earphones into the radio it would just make life that much easier. Thanks for the suggestions though.

How about one of those wireless helmet systems they sell at Rider Warehouse. I would think it should interact with a XM reciever.

Thanks for your help guys&nbsp\\;. I emailed some different company's last night and Chris from Cyclegagets set me up with all that is needed. Turns out they make such an adapter for just my purpose. My wife will now be able to sit on the back of my bike and plug in on her own and tap right in to what ever I'm playing on my radio. Should be a sweet set up with only one small connector hidden under seat for her to tap into.
