I always wonder why do people want to put a radio on their pilot or odyssey? Not sure how well you would hear the radio with the loud 2 stroke Engine? I could understand using a radio while the
Engine is off, but the battery would be dead in no time. Personally, I love hearing the Engine:)
With all the new portable Bluetooth speakers, I'm sure you can find something that will work well and not have to use the battery.
This is just my opinion and I am in no way trying to bash anyone, just thinking out loud.
I don't mind bashing anyone.
You need to hear the Engine as well as your zone. It's called situational awareness.
You need to be able to hear if there is another machine in your zone to prevent an accident and you need to hear your Engine because it will tell you that it's having issues. Once it's dead the Engine don't talk no more.
I used to race cars. How many race car drivers have a stereo in the little rocket ?? That's right NONE. Why is that ?? It's something called situational awareness. Hearing is key to that. At 170 mph things happened real fast out there and I needed to hear how close the other guy was to me. No time to look in the mirrors because a turn was coming up real fast so you have to hear him. You shift when the Engine pitch was correct. I would shift before the shift light came on and by the time it was in gear the light just gave a very slight glow -- not even full brightness. You need to hear that. I realize these are very different machines than my race car but the concepts are the same.
If you wana dance then go to the disco hall.
