I have the sound off even in the tin box and a strip of duct tape over
the speaker to help stop water getting in when it's on the bike.

My Garmin Zumo has a headphone jack on underside with a rubber seal over it.
I don’t use it. Just Bluetooth my helmet to GPS, phone and other riders and the electronomical black magic in the helmet switches between them as needed

ridinhigh I fitted this to a standard HJC helmet in about 15 minutes. Cost £30.

You can pay an awful lot more for some major named systems but I've used the BT for over 2 years now and find it faultless for my needs.
