Hi,
I have a 2011 Ram 1500, with the 130S/RES radio, but no UConnect harness. Is there a good way to get the audio to headphones, so I can rock out and not disturb my wife when driving at night and she wants to sleep? It's probably illegal, and not a good idea, but I think driving with out music or talk at least is worse.

cellphone/MP3 play and headphones other wise you'll have to rig something really goofy up for output and won't be worth the effort.

relays and a switch. "break" the audio from the speakers and pass it through to the headphones. i have dont it before on another vehicle for a customer but you may get a little engine noise (high pitch whine that goes up and down with the rpm) doing it.

I can listen to my iPod, or phone on headphones, but I'd really like to be able to listen the the satellite radio, especially when we don't have cell reception, or good am/fm channels.

That's an option, but it would be better to listen to the radio in the truck. I was really kind of hoping that if I had the uConnect harness, with blue tooth connectivity to my phone, I could somehow get the audio from the radio onto the phone, and listhen to the phone via headphones.
