Yes, mine work fine. I'm trying to find a good wireless solution to be used to improve audio while watching TV while the A/C is running. One that can be moved around the POD with no trouble.

Maybe something along this line...? BT may not be the best way to go here, this looks like it would be easy to set up with a pair of powered PC Speakers.

This just might be the ticket. It appears this device has build in auto search auto pairing...this should overcome the requirement to have a smart device in the pair so this and a BT speaker should work. More research for sure, because of the investment.

BT Audio TX   with search and auto pairing... 

Thoughts?

I am also using the mini cable. If you are going to run rca cables it looks like that may be a chore after the fact. I bought a 12ft mini cable from walmart.com for $5 dollars works great and I might be able to route it easer than r.c.a. cables. The headphone jack on the Jensen seems to be a good quality jack and you could leave it hooked all     the time. But I like Podsters blue tooth speaker idea also

MY 2014 178 does not have an RCA plate for inputing TV sound to the A/V system.  My pod is in storage, but I believe I ran a mini-jack cable from the TV earphone jack to the auxilary jack in the A/V system.  Worked great.  This summer I plan to do it right and install a wall-mounted RCA plug plate on the wall, connecting through the backside to the A/V system.  Then I can use the RCA audio out to the wall-mounted RCA input jacks which will connect behind the wall to the A/V system.  Meanwhile, the mini patch cable is working fine.

I'm investigating the possibility of using an audio transmitter plugged into the TV out to connect with a wireless speaker. It appears blue tooth (RF) requires one of the devices (rx or tx) to be smart to complete the pairing. Has anybody tried this? If BT won't work I know for sure RF will.

I have not personally tried this transmitter, but it gets really good reviews. 

It's a digital transmitter (blue tooth) so you should be able to plug it into any audio out source with a mini jack and then pair with a blue tooth speaker or headphones. It works on the same principle as an analog (RF) audio transmitter, like wireless headphones and speakers that are more prone to interference. 




Here is a device review on youtube, fast forward to about the 3 minute point:

Bluetooth is a technical digital standard so theoretically any blue tooth transmitter should be parable to any blue tooth speaker.

Ok, well if you decide to cut the cord, maybe one of these blue tooth audio transmitters along with a blue tooth speaker is the ticket. It probably won't be as full of sound as the POD speakers, but you can put the speaker where ever you want and ax the patch cord.
