HI Tony, our music in the background is my heavy duty truck drivers ipod put plugged into the cigarette lighter and then the outside speaker handpiece taped to the inside speaker. We usually do 26-28 hrs straight when you first get there in the wee hours of the morning or mopping up it is good it keeps you going. some have tapedecks. ithink our new trucks have disc players in them and Gps. Im first on this weekend but off for easter next weekend. Thanks for the message and ill speak with you again Tony.
