2004 Coachman Freedom Speakers

My Coachman has a CD player in the dash that attaches beautifully to two speakers in the back of the unit. Problem is, with the key off, that player only plays for a few minutes then shuts off.

I want to be able to tie at least my CD, possibly my laptop and tv to those speakers rather than to have to buy something separate.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of junction box in the rear of the unit where I could tap into these speakers easily. I really don't want to get into cutting wires and creating things I don't have to.

Would it be possible to find the hot wire that powers the radio/CD, and wire it to where it's not on the ignition key circuit? Check on your 12V fuse panel as there may be a few sections open. I found several open ones to use on mine and connected a musical horn.

My radio works all the time key on or off.

Lawrosa has a great idea too. We use the AUX input with the TV, Wii, DVD player,Pandora on the smart phone, and our Bose radio to route the sound from these through the roof speakers. While driving we can have the TV on and put the sound to the back speakers so the kids can hear and we don't have to yell over the TV.

Good luck.

You need to put the key on aux to keep it playing. If there is an aux input on the cd player you can access the speakers through the cd player

There is no other way without major modification from what I know....
