    His co-driver has different tastes in listening preferences, no doubt and/or listens way too loud. You need to find someone else to team or train with because a bad fuse is only a very temporary "solution" at best. But I can sympathize if that's the case.

    I assume co driver's music choice/volume is issue? Person driving decides station, volume to (some extent) (exception if owner is one driver) :)
    You need to work together. Volume down if one is sleeping... (maybe look at ear muffs?) Relocate speakers so only driver gets direct sound?

    If it is something to do with radio control or volume then wouldnt the grown up thing to do be to talk it over with the other driver?

    Cut the wires to the speakers in the sleeper birth. Cut a couple of inches off so it can't easily be reconnected.
