On a KR the best way to get music is usually to add an intercom with a music input. I had a Flightcom 403MC in my KR and it worked great for about $200, not to mention the intercom function of it. I bought a second car cradle for my XM radio and mounted it back behind the seat in the baggage compartment. The antenna worked fine under the turtledeck.
On my Midget Mustang I just bought a set of Lightspeed ANR headsets with a music input. I am currently using a hundred dollar 2 gig MP3 player I got at Best Buy and it works good. It is also nice because I can bring it in different planes with me. Before I had the headsets I was using the ear buds under my regular headset and that sort of worked. I have heard that if you get the portable music players that you don't want to get the type with the hard drives in them. The heads ride over the disc on a film of air a few thousandths of an inch over the disc. At high altitudes they will skip and be useless. You don't have that problem with the digital memory players.

Airspeed was about 120 +/- (could be faster) 2. RPM's 3300 max at level flight 3150 @ climb out. 3. Fuel consumption is about 5 gal per hour ( I have a Super POSA ) I can lean it out in the air. 4. No music for the 1:20 trip. What is an easy inexpensive way to get music/ipod/satalite radio piped into the headset?? 5. CHT is a little high on #1 cyl. My prop that I have now is a Culver 52/45 this might need to be repitched, per GP this might help with the RPM's and the temp. I have an HAPI 1835 VW with Scat heads Any Ideas from the VW guys out there??????
