B2650 Radio

[Stmar]

My B2650 has the Jensen HD1130 radio. I have been trying to see if it is possible to use headphones with this radio, it has a port #17 but it says it is aux input instead of output. Has anybody used headphones and if so what kind of plug does it take and what brand/type of headphone did you use?

I don't have that stereo, but from the manufacturer's website (below) I can see it does not have a headphone jack or any other output, other than the speakers. The input port is used to connect your phone or MP3 player so you can play that device through the stereo speakers.

With a Google search you may be able to find a box you can wire in in between the stereo and the speakers to provide a headphone jack.

I am in the same situation and wonder why this radio was installed without head phone capability. Though the speakers are very good it is a joke listening to the radio with the engine running. You have to turn the sound up so high it literally hurts your ears! The radio in my NH T4.75 already had the Jack installed and works quite well. All in all we may have to buy a different radio to get the head phone capability.

I was hoping I was missing something, that they mislabeled the #17 as input instead of output. Another forum member did not have a radio installed and went with a bluetooth setup, smart. I had no idea they even put radios in tractors so just went with the options they had on the quote, basically thought it was already installed, which it may have been. I am usually concentrating on the job so most times don't even think of turning it on and you are correct in that you have to have it LOUD to even hear it.
